Yes, I agree with Robyn about casual learner markers of
accomplishment. I have ambitions to basic competency, but am somewhat
intimidated by the steep learning curve. I DO like the postal course
lessons, but could use some additional motivations. And I am someone
with ample language experience and still feel like reaching "bronze"
is olympian in effort!

Is there a blurb available about the certification tests or a source
of study material that I could link to for my qepHomnganpu'?
Has anyone put any thought into creating some easier levels? I
understand requiring actual competence in the language for
certification, but maybe something casual learners could
achieve? Looking at Earthlings and beginner experience, it seems
like even bronze is a pretty stiff bar for some.
