I was on a business trip to Germany, staying in a small family hotel in a village near the plant I was visiting. Only the hotel receptionist spoke English, but the rest of the hotel and restaurant staff were thrilled that I tried to communicate in German, with my trusty phrase book.

I was watching TV one evening and caught an episode on Hogan's Heroes. On German television. Dubbed in German. It actually took me a few minutes to realize that Col. Klink and General Burkhardt were speaking German, as I could tell exactly what was going on in the episode!
