For all purposes you treat i as a proficiency going forward.* For languages, however, you always need 6 proficiency points to master the laguage.   1 point allows you to read simple messages in the language.  2 allows you to read typical messages in the language.  3 allows you to decipher technical writings in the language.  Writing simple, typical and technical messages requires 2, 3, or 4 points.  Similarly, understanding spoken requires 3, 4, or 5; and speaking requires 4, 5 or 6.</blockquote>
