    3/4 Of people who use English in the world are not natives. Its not necessary to have advanced level of english because key is clear communication. When I started using English in practice I noticed that I was using too many strange words and I realized that I need to stop using them and simplify my way of speaking as much as I can because not everybody will understand fancy words I was using.

    @SmallvilleSP Před měsícem +4

    Native English speaker here: I took the test as I was curious to see what you regarded as must-know criteria in order to be accurately classified in the aforementioned categories. The only one I didn't get right was the question which in my opinion had more to do with knowing proper body anatomy than it did with actual knowledge of English itself (I had no idea where the hell my own femur bones were located lol!). However, I thought that the other questions, such as sentence rearrangements, determining the proper word order, plurals questions and preposition choices were more of an accurate bellwether to successfully tell people what they need to know about their own distinct levels.
    P.S: I should add that many native speakers would get many of these wrong due to not knowing the proper rules behind things like contractions (your/you're), plurals such as "phenomena" or "criteria", spelling and even conjugating the more "obscure" irregular verbs out there. But great test overall, hope my feedback helps and doesn't come off as arrogant.

    • @BrianWilesLanguages
      @BrianWilesLanguages  Před měsícem +1

      Thanks very much for your feedback! And yes, I think most native speakers would get 1 or 2 of these wrong... I did my best to cover a variety of different topics and means of comprehension, but some of the information is a bit technical (like the question you mentioned).

    There are two grammatical errors in question 12 , the second being the use of a comma instead of a semicolon to separate two independent clauses. The comma should come after the conjunction, and.
    #20 Fear is normal and can be healthy. A phobia is not just fear, but an intense and irrational one.

    • @BrianWilesLanguages
      @BrianWilesLanguages  Před měsícem +1

      Re: Q12- While one could use either a semi-colon or a comma to separate the clauses (both are correct here)- placing a comma after the conjunction would be an error. An (Oxford) comma could come before the final ‘and’- but this is a stylistic choice that I’ve chosen not to make.

      They are close- but ‘fear’ is an emotion, and ‘horror’ is a concept. You can have a fear of heights, but not a horror of heights. You can watch a horror film, but not a fear film.

    I couldn't calculate (I studied computer science 😂- how the hell did I calculate 21? I'm normally good at mental arithmetic 😂). However, given that there's no question 15, I will deduct a point for you too 😉
    I didn't know that THAT was the color beige. I always perceived it as a bit more yellow than that and I didn't know the color cobalt (well I knew the word, just never saw the color). Fun fact, beige is also the name of that color in my native language (Dutch).
    I didn't know about femur.
    I couldn't think of "but for", I'd understood it though when I heared it.
    The time pressure was stressing me out.
