This paragraph emphasizes that success in any languages is about being able to communicate and not being perfect at the end. I have a friend who was born and raised in monaco speaking french is whole life, and he is still learning the language a long the way due to many slangs or informal way to say something in short. The idea that practice makes proficient is more realistic because it focuses on improvement and real world use rather than chasing perfection.
