When it comes to speaking I'm fluent in Norwegian and English, could go for a Swede with some few hours of practise first, and I'm capable of communicating in German as well.

I can also speak some French, with rather good intonation, but I don't understand what the French are saying, so...nope.

But I can manage to get either beer or a smack on the nose in 11-12 different languages!

Although I am not FLUENT in Russian and English, but I know them good enough to communicate using them. So I vote for 3 languages in poll.

I understand some simple German and also can say few simple phrases in German, but I guess it doesn't count...

I was reading Swedish once... I can't speak Swedish but my knowledge of German (it was much better 3 years ago) helped me decode a good bunch of it. How close is Norwegian to Swedish?
Seems like with a little effort, if you knew one you could easily learn the other.

Written Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian are so close that very few would have any problem reading the others as long as they know one of them, it's another story about the spoken language...

And some basic knowledge of German will always help when it comes to decrypting Swedish.
