joesuda Pronounshe/him/his Moderator 3,690 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Estonian is my mother tongue and I am C2 in English so I can say that I am fluent in it. I studied Russian in school for 9 years and I can understand most basic stuff in it, but I am definitely not fluent in it. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calmar Pronounsthey/them The Fame Popster 485 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I only consider myself fluent in English, since I can express all thoughts about all subjects only in my native language. I've used other languages before to get by while travelling, but I don't know if that fits my own personal definition of 'speaking' it or as a skill I'd put on a resumé/CV. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic level of reading Cantonese Chinese, but cannot speak it (yet). W h a t what is “reading cantonese” what is “Classical Chinese” ?? do you mean Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese? Because Cantonese dominantly uses traditional Chinese and Cantonese is a spoken dialect. Mandarin is more commonly associated with with simplified Chinese so I’m very confused Anyways I’m fluent in Cantonese and English Proficient in French and Spanish and my mandarin is functional I also read and write traditional Chinese Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can understand some written Cantonese, but I speak Cantonese quite horribly. And by classical Chinese, I am talking about 文言, so referring to the language of the classics like 老子/莊子/詩經/左傳/春秋/classical poetry and what-not. Classical Chinese is a written, not spoken, language (since modern Chinese dialects are different from the ways Chinese was spoken in premodern times), and often has different grammar and vocab than 白話文, though modern literary Chinese, like what you find in the newspaper, draws on certain linguistic aspects of classical Chinese, most notably idioms 成語。 I can read both simplified and traditional characters, though I learned traditional characters first and prefer them.

I’ve just so rarely seen anyone talk about it this way because Cantonese is written using traditional Chinese characters so it just seems a bit weird to distinguish “written Cantonese” as a separate dialect. It just would make more sense to phrase it as you can’t speak Cantonese but you can read traditional Chinese I guess I’m just more confused about the distinction you were making about reading and speaking cuz if you can read something you are theoretically speaking it, like poems and “classic literature” is read, often aloud. Like Shakespearean English is a part of the English lexicon and isn’t a “separate language” unless were taking like old English but I get what you mean, just the phrasing was odd cuz I’ve never seen someone say they can “write Cantonese” in any way that isn’t misguided Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
