The word 'fluency' is so often abused. It means that the speaking (or writing) has an easy flow, where you aren't racking your brains to come up with fluid sentences and you aren't pausing unnaturally before replies. Mastering a language isn't easy, so people seem to want to keep lowering the bar for what they deem to be fluency.
I look at it this way: a person can read and prepare for learning to swim as much as they want to; but until you get into the water and actually swim, you're not swimming.

Fluency comes from linking situations to sentences.
You will achieve fluency much more quickly this way than practising dry textbook sentences like 'the cat on the mat is playing with my pen's aunt'.
In days of yore there were plenty of Esperanto clubs where you could practise. These local Esperanto clubs hardly exist anymore, but you do have Skype now, and there are many more international meetings of Esperantists.
