If you have at least an elementary school understanding of the language Praziquantel Send a noteboard - 24/06/2011 10:19:45 PM
(such as that which a 7-8 year old might converse in) you are proficient for the vast majority of tasks. You may occasionally need to refer to an authoritative source on diction, but that shouldn't deter you from getting on.

/Simple Question: at what point do you tell people you "know" a language or "speak" it? Tom - 24/06/2011 02:49:51 AM 988 Views
Here's what I tell various people Larry - 24/06/2011 03:09:45 AM 787 Views
It's interesting that you focus on the literary side Tom - 24/06/2011 03:29:36 AM 743 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 763 Views

Very good question. Legolas - 24/06/2011 08:22:47 PM 823 Views
I had a feeling you might enjoy the survey. Tom - 24/06/2011 10:50:47 PM 665 Views
What can I say, I'm predictable? Legolas - 25/06/2011 01:00:49 AM 770 Views

Funny how your taste in languages still to learn parallels mine to a great extent. Legolas - 25/06/2011 01:04:36 AM 712 Views
Yeah, and I realized that last list should include Farsi and Arabic. Tom - 25/06/2011 02:24:06 AM 737 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 313 Views
I suppose Farsi must be easier than Arabic. Legolas - 26/06/2011 11:18:23 AM 777 Views
Yes and no. Tom - 26/06/2011 05:08:29 PM 1798 Views
Interesting. Makes sense, I guess. Legolas - 26/06/2011 05:49:25 PM 752 Views
The timing of your question makes me giggle. Jedi Wolf Sister - 26/06/2011 04:05:07 AM 818 Views
