C++

You do not speak C++ fluently. If you did, you would know that ++C is faster in some circumstances and is generally to be preferred. :-)

Actually, C++ is more likely to be faster than ++C, since C++ allows for greater instruction-level parallelism (the increment can be done later rather than being part of the critical path).

English and Portuguese! (I speak spanish well enough to have a conversation, but I wouldn't say I'm fluent. Got a 5 on the AP test in high school, but if you don't use it you lose it. :( )

Galician (a variant of Portuguese -- or vice versa, historically), English and Castillian ("Spanish"), which I've never used much, but know better than 90% of natives, since I live bombarded with it in a diglossic country.
