To sign fluent, form both hands into 'F' handshapes, where your index fingers and thumbs touch while the other three fingers remain extended. Hold your hands in front of your chest with your palms facing each other. Move both hands forward in a smooth, alternating, rolling motion, representing a continuous and effortless flow.
Sign 'I', 'want', and 'become', then use the smooth, rolling 'F' handshapes for 'fluent', followed by fingerspelling 'A-S-L'.
Point to the person for 'she', sign 'three', 'languages', and finish with the 'fluent' sign to emphasize her smooth proficiency.
Sign 'you', 'Spanish', and 'fluent', making sure to raise your eyebrows and lean slightly forward at the end to indicate a yes/no question.

No, you can use this sign to describe fluency in any language, including American Sign Language (ASL), spoken languages, or even computer programming languages!
The speed should be moderate and steady. The most important aspect is the smoothness of the rolling motion, rather than doing it as fast as possible.
While the movement implies smoothness, this specific sign with the 'F' handshapes is generally reserved for language fluency. For a smooth surface or a smooth situation, you would use the standard ASL sign for 'smooth'.
