Is it necesary to speak fluid english in order to pass the US citizenship test? What is the interview like?

Question

thank you

Answer 1

Fluent English is not necessary.  But you need to be able to communicate at a basic level.  Simple sentences like "why do you want to live in America" and things like that.

Answer 2

The only reasons you could get away with not being able to speak English would be if you:

#

have been residing in the United States subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence for periods totaling 15 years or more and are over 55 years of age;

#

have been residing in the United States subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence for periods totaling 20 years or more and are over 50 years of age; or

#

have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, where the impairment affects the applicant’s ability to learn English.

Answer 3

at least good enough english to be understood by everyone. You will always have an accent and sometimes that may make things difficult.

I met a women yesterday who spoke good english but her accent was so strong I had a lot of trouble understanding her.

And when I first arrived in Canada, a lot of people did not understand me because of my accent. I was even told a few times to "come back when you speak better english". English is my first language.  

Answer 4

fluent English; fluid is liquid.

Answer 5

You must be able to communicate in English, most Americans are unable to properly place commas in the written language. I am sure this short post of mine has a few errors.

Answer 6

Fluent English skills should be a major requirement!!

Answer 7

If it isn't a requirement, it certainly shoud be. If you can't/ speak the language of the country where you want to live, you should at least learn the language of that country before becoming a citizen.

Answer 8

To help you with your studies, it is "fluent English". Not "fluid english".
