I'm curious about my flist's language skills. Please answer the following poll which asks you to indicate languages in three categories. The first I've defined as "fluent", meaning that you could do essentially anything in that language that you could do in your mother tongue. Second up is "reasonably competent" implying the ability to carry a conversation or read a text. Finally, "smattering"; can order a meal or read a tombstone kind of thing.

That's interesting as I have noticed that Dutch and Germans write English as they speak it, which is to say very well but quite unlike a native English speaker. We used to refer to Kearney Standard European English when I worked there.
