Here is more information about tip 1, from the original article:
“Achieving a high level of proficiency in any language is all about culture and colloquialisms! While grammar and a strong vocabulary are your foundation, fluency is reached when you understand the cultural context of the language - bonus points if you can slip in some slang words!
Thankfully, finding a native speaker to chat with is easy thanks to the many language exchange apps available. If you’re not familiar with a language exchange, it’s simple: You’ll get paired with a native-English speaker who wants to learn your native language and you teach each other! Many of these apps are free, and take into account your interests when matching you with an English speaker. Plus, it’s a great way to connect and meet new people!
Here are some options for connecting with native speakers online:
• HelloTalk
• Speaky
• Bilingua
• Tandem
• HiNative
