Languages

Our project will have a socio-cultural emphasis and we hope/believe that'll go a long way towards lowering language barriers, right? I think we could enrich the experience if we start thinking more specifically about how to organize linguistic interaction.

I thought that a first step could be to include information about our own language skills in the same way as we did about ourselves in the table. Then we'll know more or less how many languages and levels we can scaffold interaction in.

My table building skills are not very good. I'll give it a try but feel free to improve it. (I've used the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for indicating language levels -feel free to use others and explain/ask about rough equivalents) Here's a description and comparison between CEFR and ALTE levels (ALTE is the Association of Language Testers in Europe). Here's a good introduction to CEFR at the Council of Europe website.
