In Canada neither have I, but I know euros who are completely fluent in half a dozen languages. I have Swedish friends who speak English better than I do, and also speak a few other languages. Every Swiss person I've met spoke at least three languages. I once shared a house with a friend who was fluent in English, French, Vietnamese, Polish, German, and Spanish. She works for the UN now.

I don't honestly consider myself fluent in any language. I grew up in French schools so I still find it awkward to write in English even though it is technically my first language. I think I will be fluent in German someday.
