Are you bilingual?

Soryon:
Just s the topic says, I am wondering how many of you guys know more then one language? (and if so, which?)
Personally, I was born and raised with English and so obviously it is what I speak. I am however not fluent, but passable in both French and Spanish.  I could carry a light conversation in either but prolly not very accurate. I know that I would be understood but I would likely not get a passing grade in a native language test, I just done understand alot of the nuances. My grandmother speaks German often but for some reason I never picked up on it. I know alot of the words and meanings but would not be able to form sentences. I also know bits and pieces of a bunch of other languages, but nothing near what would be needed to actually converse with a native speaker.
I am only fluent in one but could survive in 2 others.

Roven:
I'm fluent in both English and Arabic. I can speak some Indonesian and I had some Japanese conversations that went very well considering I only learn from Anime and stuff :P

xfreidax:
I'm fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Hokkien.

English and Mandarin are both taught as first languages in my country.

Cantonese is my mother tongue and what I use with my family, plus I lived in Hong Kong for 5 years.

Hokkien I picked up off the streets, it's a common dialect where I live.

I also studied French as a third language for 5 years, although my French is almost completely forgotten. Don't use a language and you'll lose it.

I know a smattering of various other Chinese dialects as well, like Teochew, Hainanese (I'm half Hainanese), Hakka.

BrownMasterV:
I speak English fluently
I'm alright in Spanish, Kannada, Hindi, and I guess I can have a conversation in Japanese :3

vuzedome:
English, Chinese(Canton, Hakka, Hokkien), Malay, little bit of German, so and so on Japanese.
