<p>I hate the term fluency. You are fluent in Chinese if I you can read Romance of Three Kingdoms and the Dream of the Red Chamber in their archaic forms as you read Victorian novels, and interact with Chinese people of various dialects without major obstacles.
You are fluent in French when you can read Proust like James Joyce, and write your sentence with Cartesian precision.
And as for Spanish, yeah, read that Don Quxiote in its entirety! >:]
For me, it is still troublesome when communicating with Chinese people. I hardly hold any interesting conversation with Taiwanese, and with Chinese, they can easily tell from the way I speak that I'm a foreigner. Of course, they'd compliment on my fluency, but they know that you are not "one of them" per se.
Language is a difficult thing to study. Especially now, I know I will never be as fluent in either Chinese or English as the "native speakers." What a shame.</p>
<p>Native speaker of English
High(-ish) level Japanese proficiency
Slightly lower proficiency at German
Basic Greek</p>

<p>I recently read Rousseau's Discourse on the Origins of Inequality in its entirety, so does that make me fluent in French?</p>
