ok so I'm doing the tests that everyone and their mother has already done. this post will be my live reactions so to say :D
Russian - the randomization fails with cyrillics, boring. 30/30 on the easiest test English: curriculum and spokesman in the first 2000? "lacking distinction" and having to choose from "welcome, dominant fellow, overseas mean extraordinary"? velocity in the top-5000? monopoly, guild and propaganda have little to do with one's English knowledge. are you sure you're testing the right meaning of bold? i only know this one because of Gryffindor results: 30/30, 29/30, 28/30, 30/30, 30/30. i struggled with "management or supply of money" because i didn't notice finance on the list oops lol i also wondered whether to turn was "wind" or "render" Portuguese: boneco de neve as a test for whether you know boneco??? productive test results: 14/18, 11/18, 12/18, 7/18, 10/18 fails in the passive test - orçamento 'budget', feição 'face expression(?)', isento 'exempt', cru 'raw', exigente 'exigent' (didn't truly know in English either), desprezo 'ausência de consideração?', auge 'height, peak', lazer* 'leisure', suscitar 'provocar aparecimento' *present in a definition. the word in question was diversão and i knew it but didn't pick unsure about (but still picked correctly) prédio 'building', bacia 'basin', véspera 'eve', vencimento 'expiration', integrante 'member', assinalar 'mark', mendigo 'beggar', sacar 'withdraw money' (I know other meanings), enfiar 'insert, thread a needle etc' (I know fio but the definition seemed too vague) again trouble with render heh? the definition was ceder, sujeitar, and I had to pick out of arrastar, avaliar, render and a few others dar origem - apanhar, travar, [temer, mexer, sobreviver, gerar] - wtfnothingfits sustentar com os braços ou mãos; perceber, prestar atenção - gotta choose two out of apostar, partilhar, segurar, reparar, assustar (edit: in hindsight, segurar is obvious for the first, and i'd understand it without second thought in context) som fino; rápido, depressa - two out of ligeiro, franco, firme, agudo, dourado selvagem! that's one of the words i was missing in the productive test. but i have a feeling it's used less commonly than wild in English or German? acender ohai sorry i forgot you in the active test too avistar 'to sight', estragar 'spoil, damage' - missed but obvious in hindsight results: 30/30, 27/30, 26/30, 30/30, 20/30 i expected 1 fail in part two, 4 fails in part three, 0 or 1 in part four, 9 in part five oh and i have to admit i did parts 1-3 and 4-5 separately because you don't get the detailed results so that i decided to look things up. i obviously didn't change my answer if things got more clear after looking up, even if it was by elimination idk i'm bored. my other langs would benefit from this test but meeeh.

Dialang time again
Portuguese: C1 in reading. don't remember if I've had this result before but probably not Italian: 487 in the placement test, B1 in reading (but many times I had no difficulties with the text, just with the typical tasks like choosing the best summary, choosing the sentence that contains the main idea or whatever. and I was sleepy when I started, in fact I wanted to lie down a little and ended up dozing off and completing the rest of the test hours later. But still, most Portuguese questions were so easy and obvious that I kept looking for pitfalls. Although I don't think the Finnish ones were so easy when I scored C1, so maybe they were too straightforward? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hmmm, Dialang looks interesting. I might try it for Portuguese sometime, when I have time.

And for the first time I felt like I could maybe list Spanish as basic fluency. Need to think some more of this...

I know the feeling. Been thinking of doing this for Norwegian, but I need a baptism of fire. Or maybe I should let Norwegian wait for German to catch up.
