First, I want to say that I am so excited to have found this site! I am currently taking professional lessons from a native Spanish speaker 3x/wk for 60min starting next week.
My question is for those who have been members of Italki for some time. How long has it taken you to move from one level of Spanish speaking to the next? Since I am considered intermediate (working more intensely on grammar, vocabulary and oral comprehension) my goal is to move to a more advanced level by December and fluent by May of next year. Are these goals too lofty?
PS: I define being fluent as being comfortable and confident in discussing and writing about topics that I frequently discuss naturally in my native language (I.e. The evening news, work, family life, favorite books etc.).
Thanks.
