When I met one of those I felt like I just received a license to say I speak 5 languages. The 1st: my mother tongue. The 2nd: I'm native-level, studied all my life, use it everyday. The 3rd: I'm somewhere between advanced-survival and fluent-colloquial depending on my BAC; spoken in the country I live in so I don't put that much effort. The 4th: just basic knowledge but really closely related to the 1st, so communication is fluent even if I'm making up words and abusing the rules of grammar. The 5th: I study it every day since over a year, I speak retarded and understand correctly pronounced simple phrases 60% of the time. Can survive in the countries where it's spoken and it's a nice perk with people; they become surprisingly friendly because very few people speak the language other than natives.
