Looks like the return stroke has to both chamber the next round and cock the striker. You’d need a heavy recoil spring to ensure reliable feeding.

Some of those were a tossup for me. perfect or very good? months to adjust or years?

I don’t know how that test compares to grade level. It seems like a test to determine one’s CEFR level, 20 correct answers out 20 gave me C1. It doesn’t really say what it’s based on, but it does encourage you to buy their product.

Ok actually, this seems to suggest B2/C1 is about 6-8th grade level and C1 is 9-12: https://wida.wisc.edu/news/wida-model-online-scale-scores-linked-common-european-framework-reference-cefr

I’d also say French people outside of touristy areas are less likely to speak English than germanic peoples. I haven’t been to Spanish language countries. I’ve heard Spanish is close enough to Italian to be somewhat intelligible, but IDK, YMMV.

And generally I think it won some goodwill to at least be able to say, “Mein Deustch ist nicht so gut.”

But I enjoy learning the language, it comes easier than romance languages.

Only time I really needed to speak German in Germany was giving directions to a cab driver. I think pretty much everyone speaks English there except recent immigrants.
