    Do you mean middle school level vocabulary? Because I would argue that middle schoolers are absolutely fluent in their native languages. Hell, I think maybe even 9 year olds are fluent.

      Fluency in a language learning context is not the same as native speakers. The measure is can you pass a 4th grade grammar class in the given language.
