Hellow,
I would like to know how english native speakers interpret the words comfortability degree/comfortability vs. comfort level/comfort in contexts like the following:
a) Language competence can affect the comfortability degree/comfortability of non.native speakers.
b) Language competence can affect the comfort level/comfort of non-native speakers.
Specifically I would like to know if the two pairs in a and b) are interchangable and if sentence b) is better than a).
Thanks!
"Comfortability" is probably a word to avoid if it can be replaced with "comfort".
So I'd prefer b) over a). I can't really see any real difference in meaning. And you should prefer the simple over the complex in formal writing.
Using "comfort level" seems possible if you mean the degree of comfort and not the type of comfort. It does add something to the meaning, so it can be kept.
The overall meaning is somewhat unclear, though I assume you mean that if you are good at a language then you feel more at ease when speaking it. A true, but rather trivial observation. If this is intended to mean something more than this, it could be clarified
