My German is... well, if I was three years old, I could be said to be fluent. I know how to say useful things like "Möchtest du zu meine Geburtstagfeier kommen?" and so on. My French is getting rusty and I have, in my reading list, "Splendeurs et miseres des courtisanes", by Balzac. At some point I'll have to read it to keep my French decent.
