THE INDONESIAN LANGUAGE
Indonesian or Bahasa Indonesia, based on the Riau version of Malay language, was declared the official language with the declaration of Indonesia's independence in 1945, following the 1928 "unifying language" declaration in the Indonesian Youth Pledge.
With fluency approaching 100% among the quarter billion inhabitants of the world's fourth most populous nation, Bahasa Indonesia has become one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.
THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE
Italian (italiano or lingua italiana) is a Romance language spoken by about 63 million people, primarily in Italy. In Switzerland, Italian is one of four official languages. It is also the official language of San Marino and is widely spoken in Vatican City, although Latin is the official language. Standard Italian, adopted by the state after the unification of Italy, is based on Tuscan and is somewhat intermediate between Italo-Dalmatian languages of the South and Northern Italian dialects of the North.
THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE
Japanese (日本語 Nihongo) is a language spoken by over 140 million people in Japan and in Japanese emigrant communities around the world. It is related to the Ryukyuan languages, but there is no widely accepted evidence of a relationship with any other languages. It is an agglutinative language and is distinguished by a complex system of honorifics reflecting the hierarchical nature of Japanese society, with verb forms and particular vocabulary to indicate the relative status of speaker and listener.
THE KOREAN LANGUAGE
Korean (한국어/조선말) is the official language of both North Korea and South Korea and one of the ten most spoken languages in the world. It is also one of the two official languages in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in China. There are about 80 million Korean speakers, with large groups in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, the United States, CIS (post-Soviet states), and more recently the Philippines.

Levels of excellence
Level 1 – equivalent to a basic GCSE
Linguistically similar to a lower GCSE grade (G-D). The user can command a range of simple, set expressions in familiar settings. Grammatical control is limited to a few variations. Work contacts involving highly predictable exchanges - certain reception/retail encounters could be handled, as could survival in a travel or accommodation situation where no unexpected problems are introduced.
Level 2 – equivalent to a higher grade GCSE
Linguistically similar to a higher GCSE grade (C-A*). The user can command a basic vocabulary with some alternative expressions to cope with routine situations. He/she can manipulate the language to generate original sentences using simple common structures and respond to occasional unpredictable interventions.
The user can socialise simply, describe their work and organisation and survive in the foreign country, coping with minor variations in the information handled. The user could undertake a straightforward business visit in which exchanges of factual information, simple opinion and uncomplicated transactions are all that is required.
Level 3 – equivalent to a good A-level
Linguistically similar to a good A Level pass. A user at this level could begin to function quite effectively even where the full work role was performed through the medium of the foreign language.
He/she would have the linguistic control to express and follow most ideas relevant to their work and negotiate simply, though he/she would still be in the process of acquiring work specific terminology and structures. The user could integrate with a foreign language speaking environment if colleagues made allowances.
Level 4 – equivalent to a good honours degree
Linguistically similar to a good honours degree. The user would have complete control over the language system and an almost complete command of terminology and structures, both generic and relevant to work place requirements.
With this level of competence he/she would be very quick to absorb new items into their repertoire and would be developing as a matter of course towards the highest linguistic level. He/she would be able to negotiate and interact sensitively in his/her work and most social situations. The user would be able to carry out convincingly most management and supervisory tasks through the foreign language.
