Are you bilingual?
harpy:
Latvian, Russian and English would be the ones I know.
Then a bit of Spanish and German and some little stuff of Japanese (not the writing of any of these)
iindigo:
Native English speaker here (American). Can't speak Japanese yet, but I understand pretty well. When listening to Japanese people converse, I can typically understand at least 50%-65% of what's being spoken - usually enough to get he jist of what's being said - provided they're talking about normal stuff. If they start spouting off medical/technical/other non-standard terms I get lost fast.
Speaking should come pretty quickly once I find someone to regularly speak it to (yes, I've been in Tokyo for a year now and haven't managed that simple task, I fail). Most of the Japanese I know speak English pretty well and prefer to use it.
newy:
Well, speak with them in Japanese and let them answer in English ;)
< English and German (native), learnt but forgotten already: Spanish, French, Mandarin, understand: Vietnamese

Where did you learn Indonesian from? That's my native language :)
I'm rather fluent in English, though, as it's not my native language and I learned it mainly from playing video games, I sometimes still make mistakes. Can't really say I'm fluent in Japanese, but at least good enough that it sometimes become annoying to read subtitles (since sometimes the subs and the Japanese dubs are saying things differently).
Sosseres:
Swedish (native), English.
Semi fluent in Japanese (learning) and Spanish (forgetting).
