==== About Expertise ====
The infrastructure to do this is not in place, but I'd like people to keep it in mind as a future goal.  Thanks to [[User:tsali|la tsali]]'s accidental suggestion, allow me to suggest that we will probably charge for the certification, all proceeds to the LLG of course.
===== Expertise Rankings =====
* Fluent: No concious thought required to speak in Lojban for any but the most complex conversations, and even then the mental work should not normally be about Lojbanic grammar or vocabulary.  A good test for Fluency is whether you are able to engage in a complicated Lojban conversation whilst also doing something else, something that you could do at the same time as having a conversation in your native toungue.
* Expert: Able to engage in conversation in Lojban with only minor and occasional pauses for thought.
* Intermediate: Comfortable with one of Lojban grammar <u>or</u> Lojban vocabulary, but not both.
* Beginner: Requires word lists to converse, not comfortable with Lojban grammar.
Note that all expertise rankings mentioned on this page are with respect to <u>spoken</u>, <u>conversational</u> Lojban <u>only</u>.  Note further that neither Nick or [[Robin Lee Powell|Robin Lee Powell]] consider ourselves Fluent. Everyone <u>else</u> seems to consider Nick fluent, though, so this may just be that we have high standards of the word Fluency.  Since I started this group, though, I get to define the terms.
