How many words do you need for communicate?
My friend knows some languages very well but she thinks her Russian is not good but I think (I’m Russian) it’s very well. I am a perfectionist and I mean it doesn’t help me. For a long time I’ve learned languages for myself and thought I’ll speak when I know everything or almost everything. Years went by and I’ve understood if you want to speak you have to speak. My friend’s husband knows two words in her native language and he communicates well with her relatives.
There many comedies about it. Many of Russian people probably remember our film «Особенности национальной охоты», in which heroes communicate all night and next morning they understand that they spoke in different languages: Russian and Finnish. By the way I think Finnish grammar is too hard! And what about you? Is it true if you need you can use a few words? OR you mean we have to know languages very well before enter into conversation with somebody?

Hello!
I think, It depends on which area do you want to use your English skills. If you practice English in ordinary dailly life, it's not necessary to have a big vacabulary, and pepople can understand what do you want to say. But if you work in a well-known worldwide company where workers communicate in different languages, I think your skills must be high level!
What about film, which you recomed to wach, I agree with you! also I like "cuckoo"! (кукушка) Great, and very funny movie! In it also heroes speaks in different languages ))
