spanish and german - no it means you can read your own alphabet (well done)
japanese kana - someone (even if it was just yourself via a book, etc) has to teach you, but still it will be a while before you're fluent

Actually,
speaking is quite different from reading,

for a foreigner,
speaking is more difficult than reading because if you want to speak fluently, your listening needs to be good first..

No, you can only fluently speak a language if you can converse with another person in that language. I can do the same thing as you, though. It's pretty cool! :)

Fluency means that you are able to easily use the language for communication purposes.

Nope, it just means that you can pronounce these words.
