I learned when I was younger so I could be prepared when I travel to a different country. I'm not fluent in any language but I can remember some German, Spanish, French, Japanese and Italian phrases such as "where is the bathroom", "I would like a room for two nights", "How much is that" etc.

I can also name all the monarchs on England and US presidents in order. I have a really good memory.
