I understand German and French, just not enough to call myself fluent. I also understand some Spanish, but much less than French or German

I understand a decent bit of French, Spanish, and Xhosa, but certainly nowhere near fluent.

Xhosa

At first I was convinced this was an RPG language, but no, this is the real name of a real language spoken by a significant number of people.

Indeed it is, although it's essentially useless to know it if you don't live in that one specific area where it's spoken.

Fluent in Dutch and English.

I can speak French and Spanish, just not fluently or flawlessly.

I would define fluent as being able to hold regular conversations in that language without trouble.

I would say that is conversational. Fluent is the ability to use a language easily and accurately. Not having to pause or make mistakes.

Yeah I would say fluency is being able to think in a language so you communicate your idea accurately, so even if you don't know exactly how to say something you know other ways around it and can keep flowing. A big step up from just being able to hold a conversation, where you can say broken sentences and translate from English and such and still get the gist across.
