This quote was added by user29186
Have you ever thought about what you know when you know a language? Most people's first reaction is to say, "You know how to speak, read, and write it." But most people also know a great deal more. You know vocabulary and grammar. You know how to put words together so that someone will understand what you're trying to say. You know how to choose the right words and phrases to deal appropriately with a wide variety of circumstances and people.
