I am of course fluent in Welsh, my first language. I'm also fluent in English due to being under the age of 80. ;)
I can speak basic French and even more basic German, but my Latin is very good.

Fluent in English, Vietnamese, and Java. Passable grades in Spanish. I might be able to tell you certain roots in Quenya and Sindarin, but not reliably.
I can curse in about 18 of them, though.
I thought that was a UFO out my window.Quote:

I can manage in French. Gimme a week or two and I'd get back into the German rhythm again and manage in that too.
I'm fluent in Swedish and English, and I can stumble my way through some basic French. I haven't studied Spanish, but it's not much harder to understand than French is.
I'd like to learn a lot of languages. Spanish and Japanese might be the most useful for me, though, not to mention they're both very aesthetically pleasing languages.
what is everyone's measures for being fluent in a language?
I'm only fluent in english, but if you give me long enough, i can read french
I can speak, write, read and understand English, Dutch and German without needing time to think about it, so I assume I'm fluent in them.Quote:

Not sure, but I think I'd consider myself fluent in a language when I can carry out a decently advanced conversation about most any subject without having any major trouble getting my point through or understanding what the other person is saying.
Well, I think in Welsh usually, but when I'm speaking English I think in English.
As for my fluency in English - you be the judge. ;)
>>> I speak spanish, all the bad english i know is thanks to this place..
Fluent in English. :D I know some Spanish (my grandfather immigrated from Zaragoza, Spain in the 60's), and I'm learning Russian at the moment.
English & Norwegian fluently, and I'm trying to forget the basic German I know.
I can understand the other scandinavian languages but I wouldn't speak them unless I was really drunk or talking to myself in the mirror with my eyes closed pretending to be felt up by a foreign beauty.
Fluent in English, I think. I can read, write, and speak Spanish, but can't really understand it unless the person speaks slowly. I also know about 10 words in Scots Gaelic.
It's not everyday you get to read posts like this.Quote:
