Benign Ignorance (REMASTER)

Define 'fluent'...

  1. If it's ordering beers, shouldn't that be "You're completely fluid?" 😉
    (which is actually a common mistake for people learning Dutch: "vloeiend" means fluent, while "vloeibaar" means liquid. Many learners have claimed to speak liquid Dutch... Then again, I teach in Belgium... two beers please!)
