I think my problem is that I don't have a language I'm truly fluent in.

My dad always spoke to me in french, and my mom spoke to me in spanish. I lived in germany during my youth and went to study in spain after graduation. Now I work in France.

As a result I am "fluent" in French german and spanish, meaning I can have a conversation with anyone from those countries for 2 minutes and thay would think I'm a native. The problem is there isn't 1 language I FULLY master. I'd say I master 98% or 99% of each language but I sometimes miss some precise words or expression that come naturally to normal people. If I spent 1 hour talking to someone, there will always be 1 or 2 times I'm frustrated cause I made a mistake or couldn"t find the word to tell exactly what I meant

I'd like there are any anons like me and if they have tips on mastering a language.
I try to read a lot but it doesn't seem I make enough progress

tl;dr: Tips to learn a language

>TFW I spend so much time on the Internet that I prefer English over my native language
I remember one time when people on irc thought English was my native language.

French : read Cioran, and classics like Moliere, Jean Racine, etc.

German and Spanish : I don't know.

Yeah I'll ptry to read more philosophy.

Others stuff I find hard is whether I should use slang, familiar words, or more academic language. For example in french and spanish it's very common to use vulgar slang words, even with people at work that you don't know so well.
