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 751 Views
Here's what I tell various people Larry - 24/06/2011 03:09:45 AM 545 Views
It's interesting that you focus on the literary side Tom - 24/06/2011 03:29:36 AM 512 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 516 Views

I had a feeling you might enjoy the survey. Tom - 24/06/2011 10:50:47 PM 431 Views
What can I say, I'm predictable? Legolas - 25/06/2011 01:00:49 AM 509 Views

Funny how your taste in languages still to learn parallels mine to a great extent. Legolas - 25/06/2011 01:04:36 AM 479 Views
Yeah, and I realized that last list should include Farsi and Arabic. Tom - 25/06/2011 02:24:06 AM 474 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 215 Views
I suppose Farsi must be easier than Arabic. Legolas - 26/06/2011 11:18:23 AM 525 Views
Yes and no. Tom - 26/06/2011 05:08:29 PM 1579 Views
Interesting. Makes sense, I guess. Legolas - 26/06/2011 05:49:25 PM 520 Views
