==1. Read and translate from sight a passage of at least 300 words from a book or magazine in a language not native to you. ==
Translating by sight means that you must be able to translate the passage without the use of a foreign-language dictionary.

If you have difficulty finding an article in the language of your choice, try visiting one of Google's news pages hosted for a country where that language is spoken:
* [http://news.google.es/ Spain]
* [http://news.google.fr/ France]
* [http://news.google.de/ Germany]
* [http://news.google.it/ Italy]
* [http://news.google.cn/ China]
You may also visit the [[Main Page|Main Page]] of the Wikibooks website and find a list of languages in the left column. Clicking on one of those links will lead you to the Wikibooks main page for that language.

==2. Carry on a simple but sustained conversation in a modern foreign language for a period of not less than five minutes. ==
==3. Listen to an address or statement of not less than two minutes’ duration made by a person to whom the foreign language is a native tongue, and translate the same into your own language.==
==4. Write a simple letter in the foreign language of your choice, telling what contacts you have been able to make with persons whose native tongue is the language you have chosen. ==
==5. Know and repeat from memory the Pathfinder Pledge and Law in this foreign language. ==

Wikibooks provides several textbooks to help English speakers learn other languages. These are in various states of development, but some are suitable for this purpose now. You can find a list [[Wikibooks:Languages bookshelf|here]].

General guidance on learning a new language can be found in [[How to Learn a Language]].
