When you can read lips of the actors in a movie someone else watches with earphones and you know nearly perfectly all that is being said in the original language.

When you almost panick because you have done a Romanian vocabulary check based upon random pages from a fat old dictionary from Ceaucescu's time and ended up with a paltry 9000 words. OK, upon closer inspection I can see why I got this ignominous result (I accidentally hit upon several pages without any loanwords), but I still don't like it.
