Dutch and Flemish are actually the same, it's just that their accent grew apart over the last 50 years. Dutch and German split way before that. Also, people from Switzerland speak a different kind of German than the Germans, but it's still called German.
That might be true for a linguist, but for me personally it means that whenever I have to deal with Dutch people, there is a whole array of words I can't use. That's why I count it as a different language on this list.

And didn't you forget a 0 after that 50? If anything, they grew closer the last 50 years.

This might be the highest concentration of German speakers I've ever run into...

that said, I speak English and German fluently.

I'm Swedish aka fluent in that. Thus i can also understand Danish and Norweigan seeing how they are similiar.

Fluent in English, the majority of all the music/movies/tv/books/games i consume are in English.

I can read German, understand most of it and speak a few sentences.

I can understand and read a little bit of french, aswell as speak a few common phrases.

English and Dutch fluently, German takes a bit more work but when I get in to it I can have almost any conversation without much trouble.

I also used to be able to speak a good word of French but while I still know almost all the important grammar rules my vocabulary has diminished dramatically. :(

I speak Slovene and English fluently. I also speak Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrian semi-fluently (don't be impressed; since they are all based on the same dialect, knowing one language means you preety much know at least 90% of the other three languages).

Frankly, unless the one language you know is very widespread, it is quite hard to get by in today's world without knowing more than one language. Nowadays, knowing at least one foreign language is practically mandatory, with two or more being highly recommended.
