O, something like one and a quarter, for me. Becoming fluent in a language requires having other people to speak with in that language. To be fair, learning to pronounce the words read from a script isn't as hard as having an ear for interpreting a foreign vocalization.

Spanish - native and English as second language. I studied Polish for a year just for the fun of learning something new, but I can't say I ever really spoke it and I have forgotten a lot.

I speak French, English, and Arabic, specifically reading and writing classical Arabic and speaking Moroccan dialect. Four years of Latin have given me a basic grasp of Spanish and Italian, but I don't see myself as a polyglot.
In Morocco, most people know two languages (usually French or Spanish and Arabic) or even three if they include Berber. Plus, these days, English is very common and accessible. To me, being a true polyglot means knowing at least four languages.
Take Omar Sharif, for example: he could fluently speak Arabic, French, and English, and even did interviews in Spanish and Italian with ease.
