It seems like you've fallen into a trap of thinking one can "perfect" a language. Frankly languages aren't "perfect" by any means. Hell the word "perfect" has lost it's initial meaning used superfluously to get across a meaning of "really good". I see it all the damn time on Tumblr.

*actor speaks a couple of lines in another language in an interview*

Random Tumblr person: "OMG! You are so perf!"

"Nobody's perf-"

*pic of someone or something implying they are perfect. I've seen this done with a pic of pizza*

Oh, no, I just mean improving, attaining fluency. The dedication is important. Most impressive when you don't have people to speak all these languages with :)
