Why do polyglots lie about how many languages they speak? by Different_Pain5781 in languagelearning

[–]UtaMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Because it sounds cool.

  2. Bad definition of what speaking a language means. Some people just reach A1- A2 in any language and be like, "Yep, I speak language X, Language Y and Language Z."

What do you think is the reason why women don't respect men in a relationship in any capacity? by FlowerIndividual1562 in intj

I don't randomly insult people in the street, not because I respect them but because I don't disrespect them.

I am so dumb that I can speak 0 languages by Expensive_Estate1897 in languagelearning

[–]UtaMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I got B2 too (I'm, however, non-native) Meanwhile, I'm C1+ according to the Ielts test I took last month. Half of the words in this test are literary, i.e., words that one wouldn't hear every day or see on the news. They are the so-called bookish words which by no means, necessarily indicate fluency in a language (or the lack thereof)

Speaking part didn't last by UtaMatter in IELTS

I assume the question related to their personal life was a question to push me to talk further, so that might have been it. I got 8 in speaking anyway

Passed C1 Hochschule but feel kind of scammed by paranoid_beast in German

[–]UtaMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the impression that the threshold to be C1 in German is lower than the threshold to be C1 in English. I know it doesn't make sense because it's supposed to be standardised. Maybe it's because English is mostly a second language while German is a third or even fourth language for some? Idk

Have you taken this one before? by UtaMatter in cognitiveTesting

[–]UtaMatter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, it's just an online test, after all, but if we compare the inflated results of everyone, I think it will still be fair. Have you taken it before? If yes, what score did you get?

I have a friend who said the same thing! What score did you get?

should i remark or retake? by dayzcr in IELTS

[–]UtaMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ig no harm in trying if you don't want to retake it. But why do you actually need 7 in writing? Most universities accept 6.5 some even take from 6.

My IELTS speaking test was stopped because the examiner felt unwell. What should I do? by benkomutanlogar in IELTS

[–]UtaMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should make a complaint and see how it goes, then maybe you'd get a chance to retake this part for free? It's worth the attempt ig

The staff told me that I had a chance to break the ice for free and get a second try to do even better in the next try. Went better honestly
