- 5 – Native speaker.
- 4 – Can have complex conversations on a broad range of topics. Understand nuance and humor. Able to read, write, speak and think in the language.
- 3 – Can have intermediate conversations on a broad range of topics.
- 2 – Can have simple conversations on a limited number of topics.
- 1 – Know simple words and phrases.
- U.K. + Australian English – I completed several copywriting projects for clients from the U.K. and Australia. Many of my expat friends are from these areas, so I’m familiar with colloquialisms.
- Spanish – I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Spanish (1999-2003). I completed immersive volunteer projects for 3 months in Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica + Belize (1995-1999). I did a study abroad program in Panama in 2002. I lived in Spain for several months in 2018. I’m close to fluent, but lack vocabulary for some topics.
- Bahasa – I lived in Indonesia for 3 years and was immersed in my community. Most of my friends speak Bahasa with each other, so I’m always around it. I haven’t taken formal classes yet.
- German – I completed four conversational German classes at a community college. I also visited Germany many times and got married there. I can get around town without a problem. Complex conversations are difficult without reviewing vocabulary.
