Fluency is a broad term and generally pretty loose in its descripion of a person's grasp of a language.

There is no set amount of a language that you need to know before you could be considered fluent in it.

Fluency depends more on how well you come to grips with a language than how many words you can translate. (I've spoken English all my life and still dont know every word in the language!)

If you can speak a language comfortably and confidently, without too much hesitation, especially in the presence of someone who was born into the language, then you can consider yourself fluent in it.

It also helps if you can adopt (not mimic) an appropriate accent for the language in question. Nothing worse than hearing (for example) an American trying to speak with a British dialect!
