Swedish - Native speaker
Danish and Norwegian - Fairly understandable when I'm not tired due to their close similarity to Swedish. Norwegian is easier to understand than Danish.
English - Pretty good. I understand almost every word except for technical terms. When speaking I have (unlike most of my fellow Swedes) almost no accent, which is rather sweet as I can pretend to be an American when I want to. Sometimes however when I speak I forget words that I actually know, but in that moment have escaped my mind. My spelling is also a bit messed up at times; for example I tend to mix up C and S in words.
German - Studied it for five years in the Swedish equivalents to junior high and high school, and another six months full time at uni. After this uni course I went to Berlin for a week with a friend, and I could have very fluent conversations in German. This was however more than two years ago, and now my vocabulary is much more limited, which means that anything beyond a simple conversation is too difficult. I have little doubt though that if I were to move to Germany or something, my German would return rather quickly.
