Wow, that easy, huh?

So I'm basically wasting my time with that whole "Skills" section under Languages in the Profile. All this time I thought that had something to do with languages going from "Studies" to "Speaks".

Thank you for your help!

EDIT: While we're on the subject, some people have little red "B2"s or "C1"s next to their languages in their profiles. How do you earn those?

By adding a certificate to your profile :)

And evaluating your progress isn't a waste of time. Some people even read these sections, myself included ;D

Some language certificate options are quite out of date, though. At least the last time I tried to add a B2 cert for TELC Turkish, it was nowhere to be found in the list of options. A2 was the highest choice I could make.

At this point, I don't envision anything being updated, either.

True. The Finnish one I've passed has been switched to CEFR, so it now has 6 levels and not 7 or 8. I freaked out a bit when I added what was called the "5th level" (they never used terms like C1 or C2), and it was displayed as "only" B2. I had to convert my level to the old system.

For JLPT it also has only the old, four-level system. But then, since neither the old nor the new JLPT is fully CEFR-compatible, it wouldn't display a CEFR level anyway.

I just added JLPT 3 a second time and annotated it to say N3. Not that it'll show up
anywhere anyway :-)

I didn't realise how much detail it was possible to add in the profile!
