Fluency vs accuracy in English?
Fluency is speaking without long pauses and with a natural flow; accuracy is speaking without grammar or pronunciation errors. Both matter. At first many learners focus on accuracy and speak slowly; as you improve, you can work on keeping the flow while still fixing important mistakes.
Balancing fluency and accuracy
In real conversation we need both: clear enough to be understood (accuracy) and smooth enough to keep going (fluency). Rozy lets you practise both: you speak at your pace and get feedback so you can fix errors without losing flow.
Why both matter
Too much focus on accuracy can make you hesitant; too little can make you hard to understand. Regular speaking practice with feedback helps you find the right balance.
