    Change "Which languages can you speak?" to "Which languages can you fluently write and speak"?


    Often I see:
    - People can speak English, but their grammar is no-where near acceptable or they do not try.
    - People say "I can speak a bit of ..." which means they can most of the time use the basics with errors.



    So, changing that would be an easy fix and a realisation to applicants about the points above. This is not directed at anyone.


    Side note to staff:
    if this is supposed to be in "website suggestions": 1. it says in the prefix tabs "site and server" 2. the website suggestions tab is extrremly hidden. i don't think it is though since mod apps count as an important addition to the server. ty

    In my opinion, the current one means that. But neutral nevertheless.

    No support. In my opinion, it's not really needed. If the person can speak it/ write it fluently they will include it in their application anyway.

    Just because a person can speak fluently does not mean they can spell or use correct grammar when writing.
    And it is always good to know who can speak a certain language, even if they understand a few words.
    It's a valid question

    I've actually thought about suggesting this before. It just drives me nuts when people list like 6 languages when they know like 4 words in each one. Fluency or close to it should be in the question. Like I could say I know Swahili cause I know most of the swear words in it lol (what I do in my free time on google translate)

    I hate when I see applications in which players give an entire essay on the demographic of the languages they "are currently learning."
