I work with Japanese in an academic context--that is, I can read articles and books. If I have my dictionary, I can translate it and be very accurate (although it might take me a while).
But, most of the time, I can't pronounce what I'm reading. And, as for conversational speaking, I'm totally lousy. I can order food, that's about it.
I can also kinda sorta read German, but I'd need to brush up on my grammar if I wanted to translate anything.
