I saw a sign written in Italian once and was pretty proud of myself for knowing most of it, having learned Spanish and some Latin.

Romance languages are pretty similar. A few years ago, I was helping a friend do some work in his office and surprised a couple who was speaking Spanish to each other (she looked like she was from a S. American country and he had to be an RM, as he had that look) who were saying bad things about my friend because they weren't happy that he was unable to get them a larger tax return. (My friend is a CPA).
I told my friend what I understood them to be saying right with them sitting at his desk and they looked mortified. He didn't say anything to them except "sign in these spots and we can file this for you."
Fun times.
