I'm only fluent in English, but at some point or another I've held basic conversations in four other languages (Norwegian, Spanish, Japanese, and American Sign Language).
I think if I had the occasion to actually use these languages I would have progressed to fluency. As it stands each one just overlays the previous ones. Attempting to speak a Spanish sentence results in something like:
[spanish subject] [spanish verb] [spanish object] [japanese version of the same verb, fully inflected]
Happily, ASL (my current language of study) doesn't conflict with anything else. :)
