I speak German and English fluently.
I have had some training in French, but my instructor was gruesome and I could not utter a sentence of it when I last went to Alsace; written French is is somewhat easier for me to comprehend.
If I stare for a long enough period of time at a work written in a language like Dutch or Danish, I can infer enough from cognates to understand generally what is being said. With my bad ears, listening to them produces the effect that I ought to be able to understand them. Happily most of these people already speak one of my better languages.
I have been dabbling half-heartedly in Esperanto for several months.
