Please try to have your broken Spanish fixed by Monday, if you can.

He did try but had better luck with my broken pipes(they stay fixed) while my Spanish is broken at the foundation and cannot be easily replaced. http://www.chinese-forums.com/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif

Spanish (fluent - studied 6 years including one year in Argentina)

For me, I consider the following fluent. I define fluent as ability to easily communicate/watch tv/listen to radio/etc, but still expanding vocabulary (particularly written/formal):

Ukrainian

English

Russian

Mandarin Chinese

Can understand with little issues, but can't speak:

Bulgarian

Polish

Low Intermediate (ie. I forgot it all by now):

French

Spanish

Currently studying:

Korean

I can understand some Shanghainese as well, but that's limited in scope, so I don't count it.

[Quifore]

I speak (in order of proficiency):

• Norwegian (18 years, native)
  
• English (12 years)
  
• German (12 years, plus I was an exchange student in Germany for 1 year)
  
• Esperanto (I was a semi-active Esperantist for about one year, but after a while I realized that the language isn't as "perfect" as they claim and that they aren't getting anywhere, so I left the movement)
  
• Spanish (1 year while I was in Germany, am going to take it up again after I reach a decent level in Chinese)
  
• Chinese 普通话 (Just for a few months, not studying very intensively due to school)
  

I'd consider myself fluent in English and German. I'm able to hold a conversation in Esperanto, but I'm kinda rusty and I don't use the language anymore. I can understand some Spanish, but not speak it. My Chinese is still very limited - ChinesePod rated me as an "Advanced Newbie".
