In the USA most of us have never mastered anything but English. You may be taught other languages in school but if you are never immersed in them for any period of time you never feel comfortable reading, writing, or speaking a foreign language. My unscientific observation is that most Germans are fluent in both German and English. In Germany is English taught in all schools? How do people become fluent in both German and English? If you are truly bi lingual, what language do you “think” in?

    If you read past the first line, you’d notice that is not the main point of my comment. The point is that fluency doesn’t define bilingualism. You don’t need to be C2 to be considered bilingual.

      Which, again, I never said.

      Who are you arguing against here?

        I’m not arguing against anyone, just made a point. Don’t get mad about it. I’m not attacking you.

          Don’t get mad about it, but you’re an insufferable person to have a conversation with and I’m going to block you now.

            I understand, I can see how an insecure individual would perceive my replies as such. Thank you for pointing out your feelings and bringing this learning opportunity to my attention. I apologize for unintentionally making you uncomfortable.
