You
might dream of fluency in this or that language, and maybe you have already
achieved fluency in a foreign language.
Fluency, like all abstract terms, has no universal meaning. Each
individual must determine what the term means.
Perfect
fluency means knowing each word you encounter, speaking quickly, clearly and
easily and having no accent. You aren't familiar with every word of
your native language, and sometimes you have to search for the right word, even
in your mother tongue.
Quick
fluency is the type of fluency you see in advertisements, because "Master
a Language in 2 Months!" sounds very catchier than "Fluency in 20 Years!"
It is possible to achieve quick fluency, but the fluency achieved
after such a short time frame will be a very thin, superficial fluency.
Native-like fluency means that you generally know all the same
words that a native knows and can speak at the same pace with the same amount
of ease as a native speaker. You will likely have an accent, but as long as
your conversation partner can understand you, it doesn't matter.
Literary
fluency is like graduating from native-like to educated-native-like fluency. It
focuses on the more intellectual side of a language: including in literature,
attending university, composing song lyrics, etc.
There
are a ton of other things that fluency could potentially be, but that's up to
you to figure out.
