Can engaging with Italian native speakers enhance your fluency in 3 months

Engaging with Italian native speakers can significantly enhance your fluency in Italian within 3 months, especially through immersive, informal language experience that promotes vocabulary and fluency improvements. Informal contexts like conversations with native speakers are particularly effective for language acquisition. However, achieving full fluency depends on several factors including the intensity of exposure, individual learning ability, and consistent practice. Language immersion and interaction with native speakers accelerate convergence towards native-like prosody and pragmatic functions, which are crucial for fluency. ^{1, 2, 3}
