I'm bilingual in that I can read and write in Spanish fluently. (I speak English natively.) Unfortunately, I can't speak Spanish very well because the way my mind works (translating back and forth) and Spanish is spoken so rapidly. I keep having to tell native speakers, "mas despacio, por favor" when they're talking to me. However, I can read a newspaper written in Spanish from cover to cover and understand every article, without having to resort to a dictionary more than a couple of times. So I don't know if that counts or not.
