I've studied Spanish for years and am minoring in it at the university, but I'm still no where near fluent. I'm in especially bad shape because I haven't spoken a word of it in two years and now I'm trying to learn it again. I can read and write it pretty well though, even though my pronounciation is not very good.

When I was little I knew Lithuanian (I'm half Lithuanian). I keep trying to relearn it, but it's hard to learn a language on your own I think.

I took a German class for travel before my family's trip to Germany a couple years ago, so I can say a few select phrases, like "Ich möchte ein Zimmer für vier," so I don't think that counts at all.

I also feel that the United States is pretty bad as far as emphasizing foreign languages in school. It seems to me like people in other countries are fluent in a few languages, and I can only consider myself fluent in one.
