Sometimes you retain pointless information
I studied German for 3 years at school and to this day (apart from the obvious pleasentries like my name/age/where I live) the only 2 sentances I can say in German are:
Wo ist der speigle - where is the mirror?
and
Hast du eine kanninchen - have you got a rabbit?

Although having said that I think I'm fully prepared for a trip to Germany and see no need to learn anything else as I am British and I can just point and talk louder - thats kind of the same as taking the time and effort to learn about other peoples language and culture anyway.
Fucking foreigners.

Just about the only German I can remember is Ich habe ein Lenkrad bis meinen Arsch.

Or, in English, I have a steering wheel up my ass.

The only thing I can say in Finnish is "I want to fuck you in the restaurant"
