German: Learned it in grad. school and use it some professionally. I read it better than I speak it, but I can get along.
Spanish: A little...enough to get along in casual conversation if forced to.
Swedish: Swedish-speaking grandparents. I am particularly fluent in peasant crudities, thanks to farfar.
English: Worser all the time.

English: Mother Tongue
French: Good conversational and business, plenty good enough to get by.
Spanish: Basic, but enough for "tourist" use
Latin: 5 years worth at school, not much call for it in real life, save for the serious legal letter now and then
Chinese (Cantonese dialect): very basic conversation, but improving!

Tell me about it. I'm trying to teach my husband Croatian and it's pretty frustrating since he can't roll his "r's".
I speak English pretty well. Some may disagree.
I speak Spanish not as well. I've traveled extensively in Mexico, Peru, Chile, Boliva and Spain. I can get around, but am not able to carry on a social discusussion very well.
I did post-Doc work in Italy over 20 years ago and believe I could speak Italian again if I worked at it.
I tried to learn French several years ago, but really never got past a few phrases.
I am working on German now -- very rudimentary level.
