can greet someone and take his leave; he can speak in a simple way about people
he knows (family and friends) and ask questions about the identity of someone else;
he can exchange telephone numbers and email addresses, say where he lives and
talk about his occupation and hobbies. He can also tell the time and describe his
daily activities.
