You should be able to wake up hungover anywhere where that language is spoken and get around, no matter which problem comes up. That's my definition, at least.


this is my favorite answer ever!

/Simple Question: at what point do you tell people you "know" a language or "speak" it? Tom - 24/06/2011 02:49:51 AM 992 Views
Here's what I tell various people Larry - 24/06/2011 03:09:45 AM 790 Views
It's interesting that you focus on the literary side Tom - 24/06/2011 03:29:36 AM 747 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 766 Views

Very good question. Legolas - 24/06/2011 08:22:47 PM 826 Views
I had a feeling you might enjoy the survey. Tom - 24/06/2011 10:50:47 PM 669 Views
What can I say, I'm predictable? Legolas - 25/06/2011 01:00:49 AM 774 Views

Funny how your taste in languages still to learn parallels mine to a great extent. Legolas - 25/06/2011 01:04:36 AM 716 Views
Yeah, and I realized that last list should include Farsi and Arabic. Tom - 25/06/2011 02:24:06 AM 740 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 314 Views
I suppose Farsi must be easier than Arabic. Legolas - 26/06/2011 11:18:23 AM 781 Views
Yes and no. Tom - 26/06/2011 05:08:29 PM 1801 Views
Interesting. Makes sense, I guess. Legolas - 26/06/2011 05:49:25 PM 756 Views
