    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 can speak two languages fluently: English and Quin.

    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.

    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.

    Seeing as I can read in French, but only bits of the others, I do not include it.

    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.

    Fluent in English. 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.

    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!
