Dear stacy n team,

i ve got anothe query. Apart from English, which has been my medium of study, I can speak 4 different Indian languages fluently and can also speak french (5 points out of 10). I learnt german, but am out of touch now (many be 2.5-3 out of 10) and am learning Russian currently (my job demands it). but all this i ve done on my own. I dont hav any supporting certifications. How do i highlight them? I learnt french as part of my school curiculam as scond languag. i just hav my school board exam marksheet, in which French is one of the subjects.

plz help me put them the right way.

Thanks,
Jeevish

You will need to self report your knowledge of various languages, and if your job requires some of them, your recommenders can certainly "certify" this information for you. There is no real way to certify this and that is fine. Schools will generally accept your statement regarding languages as the facts.
