Next week we will have our conversational language test to assess our level of fluency in Urdu. This test consists of meeting with a native speaker and recording a natural conversation on one of any ten topics that we've said we may be able to talk about with him/her. Our test organizer will select the topic from the list we sent to him and email it to us on the test day. Then, we naturally enter into a chat with the local person and bring up that topic while recording. We continue on topic for 10-15 minutes, the naturally bid our farewells. This conversation is then judged grammatically, culturally and on how well we led the conversation (keeping our friend on topic). Intense, but not impossible.
I know it is a natural process to gradually increase one's vocabulary and fluidity. It is still slightly anxiety provoking, though.
