How long does it take to be grammatically fluent in Spanish as a native English speaker?

2018-09-09 2:25 pm
I studied abroad in a fully immersive Spanish program. I lived with a Spanish speaking family, I took Spanish classes. I normally had Bs in my classes. Today, I still watch TV in Spanish with English/Spanish subtitles. I can follow something without subtitles as well and understand the show/movie pretty well. I just won't get word-for-word. I listen to Spanish songs. I know a lot of vocabulary and not just basics but advanced vocabulary too like political terms or medical terms. But that said, my grammar is like a child's like maybe a 6 year old's. That really hurts my comprehension. The U.S foreign service estimates that for a learner that has done as much practice as me (over 3 months of immersion at 8 hours or more per day) that I should be fluent.

My language capabilities allow me to converse and be understood. But the grammar I have makes it impossible for me to work with the language professionally which is a goal of mine. It also sends a red alarm to native speakers that I don't fully grasp the language. It's normally things like using the wrong article, using the wrong gender for a word, at times using the wrong tense. I am trying to kick my learning into high gear so I can start fully using the language. But I am nervous because I've been working on the language for years and still haven't got it but I didn't really drill myself on the grammar. If I do dedicate myself to it and I'm definitely not starting from zero, how much time will it take?

That depends on your foreign language aptitude.

Recite till fluently for 4 graduaded years on Spanish Grammar with your poor ability, the following 3 sentences:-
(1)I am an apprentice by artcle on definite/indefinite.
(2)I am able to learn gender into classes on masculine, feminine.
(3)I am learning 12 verb-form that shows time.

No one can tell you that, because every individual's language learning ability is different. We can't predict how long it will take you to be fluent or even if you can be fluent.
