I can speak French and English.  I know German grammar, but I don't have a wide enough vocabulary to consider myself anywhere near fluent.

That depends on what degree of mastery you consider necessary to qualify as 'bilingual.'

I would have said that to be bilingual, you would have to have two languages as your native languages. If it's something you learned later, then you may be fluent but personally I wouldn't say you're bilingual (okay, strictly speaking you are, but when someone says 'bilingual' I immediately think of them as meaning they have two native languages, not as having learned another language).

Down is the other direction.
