I think to learn a language, to speak it fluently will require to reside where it is spoken. I do think one can learn quite a bit from programs and online, but to really know it, one needs to live among native speakers of the language one is trying to learn . I think this holds true for most people, but certainly not all.
I saw a man online who spoke fluently like 13 or 14 languages! He is truly gifted. He just has the gift. He was Italian and he spoke according to himself, fluent German,English,,Chinese,etc, and I don't remember what else, but a very high number. Simply amazing.
I know his English, German and Italian were fluent. I understand German moderately and he could really go with the native speakers . Italian he spoke with someone who was from Italy and I heard him speak English. I will take his word for the rest of the languages he spoke.
