Yes, you can. You certainly can. Actually, any adult learner who knows reasonable English can.

First of all, let us ask you one thing: Do you think classroom instruction for a short period of 3 or 6 months is going to make you speak fluent English? Why, even classroom instruction for a long period is not likely to be really effective - as far as fluency development is concerned. For example, take the case of most of the post-graduates in countries where English is a second language. By the time they get their post-graduate degree, won't they have learnt English as a separate subject of study in classrooms (at school and college) for at least 9 or 10 years? That too, from about 9 or 10 different teachers? And won't they have learnt various other subjects through English in classrooms for at least 7 years? That too, from about 7 other teachers? Yet, by the time they become post-graduates, do they become fluent enough to speak English spontaneously?

So don't be under the impression that classroom instruction is a sure cure for all your fluency problems - even if it stretches over several years. Now if classroom instruction (in English and through English) for a long period of 7 or 10 years cannot produce true fluency in you, do you think classroom instruction for a short period of 3 or 6 months is going to make you fluent?

Of course, classroom sessions can do one thing that a self-study course cannot: Classroom sessions can set up mock conversational situations and get you to take part in them. But understand one thing here and now: As far as fluency development is concerned, such mock conversational situations don't have much real value. No, they don't. In fact, they can even have a bad effect on your fluency development efforts. Yes, they can. (Read on, and you'll understand). So what the Fluentzy system gets you to do is this: It gets you to follow the self-study route — that is, to do a self study course using the Fluentzy books. And this process of doing a self-study course helps you to gain the fluency-relevant experience you need — from real-life situations. (Now go through the answer to Q8 thoroughly).
