''Mastering a NEW LANGUAGE"" ''Mastering a NEW LANGUAGE"" I am a native Russian speaker. I wonder why it is that when you are mastering a new language, no matter how large your vocabulary is, you cannot speak the words as naturally as native speakers do? No amount of hard, focused studying allows you to attain the level of fluency as if it is your native language. Why is that? After all when it comes to mastering your native language, it works for 100% of the population. As a matter of fact everyone is fluent in their own language, and speaks without an accent. I think the key is not some deliberate studying. It is something else. What do you think about that?

''Mastering a NEW LANGUAGE""

''Mastering a NEW LANGUAGE""
I am a native Russian speaker.
I wonder why it is that when you a person is at the point of mastering are mastering a new language, no matter how good their vocabulary in that language,  large your vocabulary is  you they still cannot speak the language words as naturally as native speakers do. (singular they . To use "you" is not good : it points to me , but you can use "we".
No amount of hard and focused studying allows them to attain the level of fluency they have in their as if it is your native language.
Why is that?
After all, when it comes to mastering your native language, it is perfectly easy works for 100% of the population.
As a matter of fact, everyone is fluent in their own language and speaks without any unusual accent.
I think the key is they should not confined themselves to just studying per se, just for it's sake-- for all it's worth.
It is something else.
What do you think about that?

That makes sense. Thank you, Michaela.

The key is paying attention to natural phrases and word combinations that native speakers use - when you NOTICE someone using a word combination a lot - use it alot!
