Dear b-greekers, Randall Buth EGRAYEN, All I want of Greek students is to recognize that knowing a language, like English or Greek, or German or Hebrew, does not mean being able to say "3xmyg, meaning 'verb' in its fourth function", it means being able to follow the thought in the language itself at natural speeds. which implies being able to paraphrase in the same language without much further thought as well. [snip] And anything less does not qualify as 'knowing a language' in most parts of the world when sitting down to discuss whatever over a cup of coffee.
