I know of VAs in Japan who, surprisingly enough, are fluent or almost fluent in German. Tried to see if Midorikawa Hikaru's past anime roles show anything like that but I couldn't really find anything. Not that the anime can't just put in a tape version of German opera and call it a day, but hearing Japanese actors and voice actors speak foreign languages properly is always kind of amazing. The anime industry's more known for under-utilizing foreign language savvy VAs, though.

I know for a fact that Miyuki Sawashiro, Sayaka Ohara and Chiwa Saitou all speak English fairly well. Tetsuya Kakihara (Simon in Gurren Lagann) speaks like 4 languages really well, too.

Probably the best English I've seen spoken in anime like really recently is from Yuki Kaida.
