German - fluently (duh)
English - fluently. I do have an accent though
French - not really fluently, but easily well enough to get around, and get complimented on by the French (something that will hardly ever happen to even the most fluent foreigner in Britain or America, btw)
Italian - I can still read and understand Italian quite well. I used to speak it much better than I do, due to lack of practice. If you put me down into an Italian family, I'd probably start speaking again soon enough
Spanish, Dutch, Latin, Russian, Hindi - I know some set phrases. I can understand a fair bit in a written text. That's about it. (Yeah, I can read Cyrillic and Devanageri)
Arabic - I tried to learn once, for a couple of months, but I've forgotten almost everything

Fluent English, enough Spanish to begin to get by, kind of (For instance, I can now say such handy phrases as 'Vostotros estabais comiendo unas faldas.' Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy which I'm sure I will use many times)...
Doesn't look right. Vosotros, just for instance.
[]quote]I also know a few words of French (My most complex sentence is probably 'My name is Cheese', but due to psychotic French spelling I haven't the faintest idea of how to spell it),

Je m'appelle Fromage. Not that there#s anything wrong with French spelling. You can tell how a word is pronounced from the way it's spelt. It just doesn't work the other way round, unless you're speaking to someone with a really really thick Occitan accent.

That looked well until the last word, which doesn't exist.

Of course.
