I'd say you'd almost never be forced to look for a dictionary when you are listening to, or reading the language in question. It depends on the language too, and for what purpose you are using the concept of 'knowing'. If it's about taking a vacation somewhere, it is a whole lot different from the knowing you'd have to have to conduct business in that language.



Also depending on the purpose. If one is expected to work using said language, more than what is said above. If one is just padding the resume for the purpose of 'see, I have made a study of these languages' then list all of them, even the ones you'd be hard pressed to go beyond tourist level knowledge.



Doesn't really matter. You should probably be able to communicate in said languages; but who cares.



I'd say I am fluent enough in swedish and english; I'd have no problem working in any of those languages. When it comes to french, I am more of a fence sitter. I can communicate well enough if I need to, but my writing and reading are not quite up to the level it were some 12 years ago...

I usually add japanese as some padding, with the clarification that I cannot work in that language - but it is usually a conversation starter (Honestly, it makes an application stand out somewhat, and that is good in today's market.)
