You've just had a very good interview for a very good position and the interviewer reads on your CV where you talk about your interests outside work says 'Have an interest in various languages'

You then spend 30 minutes examining exactly how many languages you can hold a conversation in..... having correctly identified she speaks Russian with a Ukrainian accent and her German isn't all that sharp.
