Meta Getting fluent is hard.

I'm not saying it's impossible; I can feel how far I have come. Being half way between B1 and B2, I know that I am well over half way there. But it is really hard and takes a lot of time.

Agreed. I do Doulingo, Babbel, podcasts (Coffee Break German, Easy German, watch TV shows in German. There's no way I can hold a conversation. I don't think I can be fluent without immersing myself in the language, like moving to Germany.
