Mandarin Chinese is actually dialect, Chinese languge has a lot of languages such as Mandarin, Hokkian, Hakka, Cantonese... etc.
What's the different among intermediate, good or great speaker?

I'm sure it's like this (with english as the language):

intermediate= hello how are you

good= hello, how are you today sir

great= good afternoon, how was your day today? anything to talk about?

Buzzerbee · Before February 2015

This is more how I think of it (with English as a reference):

FLUENT SPEAKER Hey! How have you been? It's been a while since we've spoken, so I was looking to catch up a bit before you go.
GREAT SPEAKER Hey! How have you been? We haven't talked to each other in a long time, and I was hoping we could talk.
GOOD SPEAKER Hey! How are you? I haven't talked to you in a while, so I wanted to speak with you now.
DECENT SPEAKER Hi! How are you? We rarely talk anymore, but I think we should!
INTERMEDIATE SPEAKER Hi! How are you? I think we should talk more.
O.K. SPEAKER Hi! How are you? I want to talk.
LEARNER Hi! How are you?
BEGINNER Hello!

----

That being said, I've definitely improved in my French and I think I consider myself a "decent" speaker, rather than intermediate.

Being Beginner in english would be very bad here.

mikelin · Before February 2015

But I think the influent one is too long if it's just for greeting.
If I can say "hello" in a language that I'm a bigginer?

Zumza · Before February 2015

Well in that case I can say i know Moldovan too. -you can also place Ewoke-
Actually Romania and Moldova are the same country but Moldova have a different president, constitution etc. We speak the same language but by their constitution is different but the same language. If you can understand something from that
Possible in 50 years we will union. If that happen we will be bigger than England

UPDATE: Some of the formatting was messed up, probably due to the transfer of the forums. Mostly, some of the languages translated into their original languages were turned into question marks for some reason.

I changed them back, but let me know if there are any incorrect translations.

Pingwin2 · 2015-02-17 00:25:22

Can you add Poland/Polska?

FLUENT SPEAKER - Pingwin.

Yeah, I'll add that when I get online. What about English, though? You apparently speak that too
Also is Polish your native language? I'll just assume so for now unless you tell me otherwise.

Anyway, updated as of now.

I'm going to assume you're fluent in Greek, then?

So you grew up bilingual (you spoke both English and Mandarin as a child naturally, without taking classes)? That's cool.

Kubapolish wrote:

Well, you're banned, so I'm going to assume native and fluent.

This is too vague, so I cannot add you. Are you fluent in Spanish? What about English, you can apparently speak that too?

I'm going to assume you're fluent in English, too.

I'm going to assume English is your native language, correct me if I'm wrong.

correcting the translation of greek
if you write in capitals, then it doesn't need the ' (tonos). it only needs it in capital letters if it's on the starting letter, otherwise only on lowercase letters

Ah, okay. I thought it looked wrong. Will fix

I speak English natively and took three years of Japanese in high school, but I'd say I'm just learning.
