| Apr 29, 2012 at 12:09 | comment | added | JLG | I thought about semiliterate or half-literate, but they both appear to be somewhat derogatory, with the connotation of being uneducated. I don't think most people would understand your prefix. And you still have the problem of literate referring to both reading and writing. The OP stated that he doesn't have the speaking/listening ability, so lingual doesn't really work as an answer to this question. | |
