Fluent in English. Is it possible?

Hi!

There is one thing that I have been wondering, is there really possible to become fluent in english, I mean pretty close to fluent as a native english speaker?

I have been learning english for real since I was 20 years old. I have been living in the US for 3 years now and speak english quite well. I watch a lot of movies and read some books and have conversations with other english speakers. I can hold conversations with english speakers, but if they want to talk about more advanced stuff I really don't know what to say.

So, for a person like me who is really trying to learn more english, is it possible for me to become pretty close to fluent in english as a native speaker if I continue to surround myself with other english speakers?

When you say 'fluent', it sounds like you mean 'having a large vocabulary'. Is that right, or do you mean that you want a native accent? Both are certainly attainable, and I have met non-native speakers with both.

You may need to do more than that. Take note of what the "advanced stuff" is that you would like to talk about more fluently. Read up on the subject. You might find something on the internet. Write a s

Yes, having a large vocabulary and talk more with an american accent. Do you think it is attainable for a person who has started to learn english when he was 20 years old?
