 Language Ability



German   

Fluent in written and spoken German: German is spoken in the home. In 1993 I took and passed in Wűrzburg the German Language Proficiency Exam (PNdS), allowing me to enroll at any German university as a normal student. I have taught German language courses for Berlitz International, Florida State University, and Appalachian State University.

Spanish

Graduate reading knowledge and basic speaking: 2 years high school, 1 semester college. Father is fluent, and Spanish is sometimes spoken in the home. I took and passed the Graduate Reading Knowledge (GRK) exam for Spanish at Florida State University in December 2007.
Dutch


Reading comprehension only. While living close to the Dutch border in the German city of Duisburg, I had access to Dutch newspapers and traveled to the Netherlands on numerous occasions.
