Language proficiency

Alicia and I sat in class during our mid week study day to attend a seminar at the language school. It was a primer course on the ENGLISH language, to remind of us those things we should have been listening for during English class long ago. One must know the elements of his/her own language well enough before delving into another tongue-- at least it really helps. Howard Botterill conducted the seminar. One of the interesting pages was the following comparative chart for language proficiency. The goal of the 2 year SEND program is marked there at 2+.
