Foreign language is key to success (http://media.www.thetriangle.org/media/storage/paper689/news/2009/07/17/EdOp/Foreign.Language.Is.Key.To.Success-3752127.shtml).

How highly do you value fluency in a foreign language?

Well, I guess that the key success is learn the language correct way.


My fluency is very poor even, because I haven't much practice in the language, but I try to do the best possible.

How highly do you value fluency in a foreign language?

1 First you need to recognise the sounds of a language.
2 Then you need to speak them accurately.
3 Then you need to read and write these sounds.
4 You need to build up your vocabulary
5 You also need some grammar and syntax.
6 Only then will you be able to speak both fluently and accurately.

There is no point in trying to speak fluently until you have these elements.

Fluency without all the ingredients will lead to mistakes and bad habits which you are continuously reinforcing.

I think that accuracy and fluency are the final goal.

Muchas gracias por las tus amables palabras amables!

"Tus" is preferable, because you want to make it more personal, and the adjective goes first, because you're emphasizing kindness. ;)
