Depends on how close modern English is to 16th century Klingon

You ever heard about Akademgorodok? See there
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akademgorodok
It is an Russian city where lives only academicians and rocket scientists. For real.
A rookie coming here feels just like a cowboy visiting the Akademgorodok, because your stack is raised very high.
Maybe it can help you remember what it means to be a user, not a Linux developer and eminent contributor. Just saying...

BUT this is overkill, as "understanding" (3rd) imply "speaking" (1st) and "reading" (2nd) in Romanian. Then better

@LuckyCyborg
You know what? It is very difficult to enter in the skin of a rookie when you really know something in a particular domain.
I failed myself this test, when some time ago, I offered my help to write some code for a friend which got a project to write a Course.
It was about explaining how the design Model/View/Controller works under PHP.
Guess what? I written in several days a brilliant little MVC framework, and a fully functional one.
BUT , it was far too advanced to be explained to rookies in 6 hours, the length of that Course.

Then in the final, that code was not useful for your friend?
