I suspect that most multilingual Americans are immigrants or a child of immigrants. By your definition, they would not be considered to speak a foreign language.
I for one don't know the intent of the question. Is there a reason the poster phrased it as "foreign languages" instead of "multilingual," or is that a language difference?
