may I ask, for how long do you speak Italian?

Olga, I`ve been living here for almost 5 years, I started studying Italian some (6-7) months before coming here to my husband..

if you speak and understand language in real life situations then you know language very well

If you know the grammar and spelling, and can write a novel then you know language perfect.

So I can modestly say that I do speak perfectly Italian (even if sometimes I have my Russian accent, especially when I am angry..)

Seriously girls, I have studied a bit this topic and I ve read that you can say that you speak really well (perfectly, I do not understand this term, too relative and subjective) when you are able to think in this language (I do, I sometimes even dream in Italian) and to express yourself when you are angry / afraid or so on (in critical situations in a word). And another thing I would like to add - if we speak "perfectly" it means that we are already at a highest level and we have nothing to aim at.. it is boring, isn`t it?!
