Go.

You can use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages CEFRL if needed, it might be easier to describe the poster's suspected language proficiency:

I'll say C2 for English and maybe A1 or A2 for one foreign language (probably Spanish) for S019

For Extreme Republican: Only English.

He probably was taught Spanish in High school but would barely get an A1 level now

Edit: for YE, I'll say A2 Spanish (and of course English). Nothing else

I would say that neither are quite right.  I used to say that I was fluent in Spanish, albeit fluent with an accent that would never pass for a native speaker.  But, now, I use it so infrequently that something like B2 would probably be most accurate due to rust.  I did travel to Argentina in the spring of 2019 and felt like I was fluent again once I was there and had "warmed up".  I used it again when volunteering at the Salvation Army Christmas Angel Tree in December 2019 because I was the only volunteer who could speak it (and about half of the line was Spanish-speaking).  Now, it's been 13 months since I have spoken Spanish to another person with remotely the same ability to speak it, so I'm sure it's not as good as it once was.

tack50 is obviously >C2 in Spanish, quite obviously C2 in English, and if I recall correctly his third language was German but he's now rusty about it, so I would give him an A2 there.

Probably also a passive A2 on Portuguese and Italian, which I assume are pretty easy to read for a native Spanish speaker, but he may just have never tried.

C2 for English, B1 for Spanish, and possibly C2 for a South Asian language (apologies for not being more specific, I don't remember which part of India he said he could trace his ancestry to).

I know you speak around 10 languages and put us all to shame, and I can’t pretend to remember all of them. So I’ll say C2 in English, Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, and at least 5-6 more. I’m a failure, I know.

YE is obviously >C2 in English and I would guess A2/B1 in Spanish. Probably nothing else, but I get French vibes for some reason.

In fact, I do have an actual C2 certificate in English.

>C2 in Italian
C2 in English
B2 in Ligurian
A2/B1 in French
A1/A2 in Spanish

Hahahahaha, I actually hate Ligurian and don't know much of anything. Also, no French.
