My Mandarin is pretty fluent. I can communicate in casual everyday-language perfectly, and my reading's okay ... but writing formal essays kill me o_o;
I can also understand 90% of casual everyday-language in Cantonese, though I avoid speaking it, because in my opinion it just isn't very pleasant to the ears xP
I also know a bit of French and Japanese ^^;

Just a few words in Greek, Arabic (a few insults, mainly), Mandarin and Japanese (Hello, Happy New Year, little things like that, nothing great). I was pretty fluent in Greek, but that's because I went to Athens for vacation and studied like a maniac and met some really nice people there who were more than happy to help. But most of it's gone now.

Learning french
2nd year, so not too good at it yet, but I hope to be. When reading, i can usually understand most of it(if I've got a french english dictionary with me
)
I'm also learning Arabic, though that's not nearly as far along as my french, and I mostly know random vocabulary as opposed to how the language works which is what I'd rather learn(because random vocab I can always look up). And I can read most of it, though it requires sounding it out. And since I most often don't know the word, that makes it a bit harder.
I'd like to learn as many languages as possible. Unfortuanately my school only offers french spanish and latin, and I don't really have time in my schedule for more than one language anyway.
Though I may take a summer class at the college language school at some point. Not in the near future most likely though, since I've already got a couple camps that I go to.

Uhm. Double Dutch? xD
I learnt Mandarin in Primary School (seriously, I've pretty much forgotten everything), took French last year and the year before (we crammed year 7 - 10 french in those years), and I'm taking year 12 Latin this year ... but there's not a chance of me speaking that.

Take aim before you shoot for you should.
