S1#7 - The Myth of Fluency

Why thinking about perfection in language learning is a bad idea and how it can hurt you in the long run.
If you are anything like me, then you have probably said to yourself "I want to be fluent in language x". After having learnt a couple languages to a degree that I am satisfied with, I am always asked "Are you fluent in language x" or "Do you speak language x perfectly". Fluency has become somewhat of an overused term and I want to talk about that about it.
