Do you get frustrated when you're not immediately good at something? Those of us who've learned a new language can relate to that. It usually happens when you know what you want to say in your mother tongue, just not how to say it in another language.

But according to French instructor Florence Grüter, being fluent in a language and speaking it well are not always the same thing. Fluency can also describe how much you understand and are understood, not just saying all the right words perfectly.

To get there, though, you have to move past the aggravation of not speaking impeccably and keep trying. How do you do that? This webinar offers some answers.
