OK, I have to ask; are you actually really fluent in those languages? As in really good, flawless pronounciation, grammar and all?[/quote]
I speak Spanish, English, Portuguese, Catalán and Italian fluently. My pronunciation is good, though I have a trace of accent. I'm losing more and more of the accent in English since it is now my primary language. My grammar is good in those languages, and so is my syntax.
If I'm very careful with French, I can get it more grammatically correct than I usually tend to do. French has some strange phonemes that are difficult for non-native speakers to pronounce, so my accent is naturally more obvious when speaking French. However, I have no trouble making myself understood, nor do I have any difficulty understanding someone speaking good French.
Russian is stranger still, what with is palatalised consonants and other phonetic oddities. Russian grammar is rough with its declensions of nouns, adjectives and even numbers. Russian is not a pretty language, but it's an interesting language.
If your question is whether or not I can carry on a normal conversation in all seven languages, the answer is yes.
