Translations work better in some languages then others...I have both Japanese and Chinese translaters on this computer. If i go to a chinese site then it translates pretty well...if its japanese then its nearly impossible to read.
Personaly the only language i am fluent in is english

But due to my old girlfriend accidently sending me things in Chinese I have managed to pick up a little bit here and there just by reading the translated version and the use of online sources

And ozzy you reminded me of one of the exchange students last year...He was german and was making a joke similar to what you said.
Trilingual means you speak 3 languages
Bilingual you speak 2
and Monolingual...Your american

Seems to be quite true for most people
