Hey All,
I'm updating my vita. I am working on a language, but honestly far from being skilled at that. For reference, Duolingo says I'm 29% "fluent" as of today. That's not good enough, and it doesn't mean I can converse 1/4 or 1/3 of the time. I appreciate them giving me numerical feedback for motivation purposes, but I dont believe that number is accurate. Is it cheap to put this on a the vita? Do I wait until I'm "fluent" (probably years from now, tbh), or do I wait until I have some certification of my skill? I dont want to misrepresent myself, but I'd like it to be clear that I'm working on that skill.
So, if the suggestion it to represent it somewhere, where and how so as to not be misleading?
In anticipation of follow up questions:
Can I get a hotel room/order food in that language? Most likely.
Can I do psychotherapy in that language? Heck no. But I'd like to.
I can listen and understand the majority of the language if spoken at a moderate rate.
