fluent but not accurate
Fluent describes ease and speed, not correctness. A speaker can be fluent and still make grammar mistakes, so examiners judge fluency and accuracy separately.
'Fluent' सहजता और गति बताता है, शुद्धता नहीं। कोई वक्ता धाराप्रवाह होकर भी grammar की गलतियाँ कर सकता है, इसलिए परीक्षक fluency और accuracy को अलग-अलग आँकते हैं।
