For the sake of...

Hi all,

Can you say "ради" in a sentence like "for the sake of discussion, let us assume that..." It reminds me of the phrase "ради Бога" so I hesitate to use it in this context...

Thanks in advance!

resume writing

[shariperkins.livejournal.com]

I am currently working on translating my resume from English into Russian. I need to describe my language level, and am realizing that usually when I've heard people -- even Russians around me -- describe their level, they have used English words: advanced, intermediate, pre-intermediate and so forth. How does one correctly say that their Russian skills are advanced?
