Question East Asian languages

How many of you are proficient in the Japanese language? (Or Mandarin Chinese, or any East Asian languages for that matter?)

I can get by on the trains and order food in Japanese (either learn that or starve!) but other than that, my Japanese is pretty poor. I can speak a fair bit, but don't have the experience to understand it when spoken to me.

I've got medium level proficiency in an East Asian language, but its getting rustier as the days go by.
