since the term 'fluency' seems so subjective, it has been my practice in dealing with students who ask "are you fluent in greek?" or the like to reply: sometimes, especially when i'm over there, persons will come and speak to me in greek in my dreams. if a person dreams, one may suppose that one could be approaching fluency when this happens. would welcome critique of this as a response, if reasons accompany response. thanks, bearded Bill Thurman
