Do you say "speak a language at a beginner/ elementary/ intermediate/ advanced level"?
You could say "I am at intermediate level in my English studies".Do you say "speak a language at a beginner/ elementary/ intermediate/ advanced level"?
. . .wenn is a faux ami.
No way! It would be called a "falscher Freund". ;-) German is a relatively highly inflected language. (At least compared to English...)Perhaps virus would call it a falsch Freund.
'falschen Freund'? Accusative here?No way! It would be called a "falscher Freund". ;-) German is a relatively highly inflected language. (At least compared to English...)
We are getting way off-topic here, but we might as well finish. The expression 'faux ami' or 'false friend' refers to a word in one language that looks like one in another, but means something different, and so misleads us. So, German 'wenn' makes us think of the English 'when', but it it usually means 'if' or 'whenever'.You mean ''die falsche freunde''. Like wir sind die falsche freunde. Am I right Mav? My German gets rusty.

Rover's bon mot has got a little out of hand.
Not a teacher!
I hope I won't give a wrong information but the preposition you are looking for may be "on".
My speaking skill is on an advanced level.
Please correct me when I am wrong.
