I am assuming that Expert is better than Fluent because it's highest on the list, but I always thought "fluent" meant "basically native speaker". Any help would be appreciated!

BetaThis helps you to develop your fluency. Just don't think you will wake up one day and say "I'm fluent now!" Fluency is not a binary state. You can't be fluent or not fluent. It is a spectrum. You can be "a little fluent," "moderately fluent," or "very fluent," for example. Maybe you can say "I feel like I'm not fluent enough."
