A language fluency scale for use in this subforum

[Fraggle Rocker]

so does that man agree with me, that he is at level 10 on your scale?

Does who agree with you? I don't understand whom you're referring to.

I hope to eventually get to level 10 on your scale in Italian.

I would imagine that you'd have to get there in your native language first. Joseph Conrad was remarkable; people like that don't come along very often. There aren't very many people who are that good in their native language; the ones who do it in a second language are even rarer.

I set the 10 at 100,000 words because there probably aren't more than ten or twenty people alive in the world at one time who have that rating. Well, also because it's a power of ten.

oh sorry I meant to say, does that mean you agree with me that Conrad is at level 10 in English, but by what you just I can see that that is the case.
