/Simple Question: at what point do you tell people you "know" a language or "speak" it? Tom - 24/06/2011 02:49:51 AM 967 Views
Here's what I tell various people Larry - 24/06/2011 03:09:45 AM 764 Views
It's interesting that you focus on the literary side Tom - 24/06/2011 03:29:36 AM 720 Views
I do that because I make some money from translations, so I have to "know" at least one other, no? Larry - 24/06/2011 03:41:24 AM 740 Views

Very good question. Legolas - 24/06/2011 08:22:47 PM 802 Views
I had a feeling you might enjoy the survey. Tom - 24/06/2011 10:50:47 PM 644 Views
What can I say, I'm predictable? Legolas - 25/06/2011 01:00:49 AM 746 Views

Funny how your taste in languages still to learn parallels mine to a great extent. Legolas - 25/06/2011 01:04:36 AM 692 Views
Yeah, and I realized that last list should include Farsi and Arabic. Tom - 25/06/2011 02:24:06 AM 699 Views
Oh, and Hawaiian. I have about seven books on Hawaiian. All bought in Hawaii, of course. *NM* Tom - 25/06/2011 02:35:43 AM 297 Views
I suppose Farsi must be easier than Arabic. Legolas - 26/06/2011 11:18:23 AM 753 Views
Yes and no. Tom - 26/06/2011 05:08:29 PM 1779 Views
