Whaddya mean by conversational?...Monserat "habla ingles muy bien" (day-AB)...There was a chick about a year ago named Cecilia who spoke perfect English..."no acento"... I mean both these chicas could express abstract thoughts and feelings on a real-time basis in English, using understandable vocabulary and syntax...that's what I would define as "conversational"...the ability to engage in a conversation in a particular language in an extemporaneous manner...able to create "language on the fly" as opposed to reciting a pat script of common chit-chat...
