I'll start:

Fluent

English
Romanian
French

Semi-fluent

Spanish
Italian
Danish

Familiar

Latin
German
Modern Greek
Japanese
Norwegian
Russian
Arabic
Finnish

Vaguely Familiar

Serbo-Croatian
Swedish
Galician
Icelandic
Portugese
Catalan
Old English
Swahili
Gaelic
Chinese (Mandarin)
Dutch
Modern Hebrew
Hindu
Polish
Esperanto
Lojban
Quenya/Elvish

By fluent I mean I can read, write, and speak the language; by semi-fluent I mean I can read and write the language to a reasonable degree; by familiar I mean I have a good grasp of basic syntax, morphology, orthography, and phonology, with a small-to-medium vocabulary; by vaguely familiar I mean I have some grasp of the syntax, morphology, and phonology, with at least some vague understanding of orthography, but from zero to maybe five words in my vocabulary. It's also rather difficult for me to tell some of the vaguely familiar languages apart. >_>

Neon Genesis Evangelion
Interest in the World War II Timeframe

EVA actually had a larger role than it probably should have in raising my interest over German. I'd so take that class if my school offered it, but they only offer Spanish and French.

Well, if you want to learn more, you could try this:

Vaguely familiar:

Spanish (I can get the jist of something said/written in Spanish, and I know a few phrases, namely "I don't speak Spanish".)

Japanese (I can pronounce it pretty well and know a few of the Wapanese words)

More or less. Usually less.

I suppose that's the logic I've been using. >_>

Usually less.

Kudos to you. I can almost manage the f but the n is beyond me.
