How can I really move from B1/B2 to C2 (reach fluency) level fast?
I see a lot of videos on YouTube where people say you can become fluent in 6 months, 12 months, just by watching videos you like, by doing things you like, in a lazy way. I‘m starting to cast doubt on that, because when learning a language you can’t just do things you like, like anything in life. You have to do the hard and dull work as well. It takes time. You can’t just learn as if it was your native language, because we often know less in our native language, and speak it incorrectly. I‘m suspecting these people are not really fluent and proficient.
I also feel like other people have a weaker and lower vision of fluency. I‘m French, and here being fluent (« parler couramment / etre bilingue »), means speaking it almost like your mother tongue, you don’t just get by, or can converse with a few mistakes, no, you have to make almost no mistakes, and be accurate.
My goal is to understand almost everything I watch or hear, read, be able to speak naturally, confidently, and fluently, almost like i do in French. Which C level do I need for that (C1 or C2) ? And how can I reach this level from B1/B2 realistically? What resources, what methods do I need to use, what do I need to learn ?
