My school couldn't be arsed with Spanish, so we did German and French. I used to be able to speak German quite well, but after my final exam my brain dumped of what I had learned into the bin. I can remember a few words and choice sentences though.
Ironically, the only French sentence I can remember is "I hate the French"...
So 3 for speaking well:
English
Nerd
1337 (Arguably a form of Nerd, once called 'Noob')
and 4 for understanding to a fair degree or better:
English
German
Nerd
1337

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

3; Swedish and English being the ones I'm fluent in. My girlfriend is from Denmark (although she is also fluent in Swedish) so I've learned Danish too, although I'm not fluent in it I can at least talk about most things.
