Eavesdropping and secret talking are totally a thing. It's the closest thing I can think of to a real "superpower".

Those were the worst actors, but still a funny video full of truths! :)

The subtitle thing is so true! I saw Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (my favorite Hindi movie. It also has a bit of Spanish) with subs and they were horrendous. All I could think was "If a non-Hindi speaker was seeing this, THIS is what they would think he said! Sick.".

Seems I'm not bilingual enough, yet.

They left out swearing in your native language, thinking that no one will understand. Yes, English has the seven words you can't say on TV, German has... well, a lot fewer, Spanish has some swearwords that are just satisfying to say (c'mon, if you speak Spanish, you just love to say "¡Ay coño!", admit it!), Japanese can offend someone without actually being offensive (just by speaking to them with a lower politeness level than they expect) and Dutch has creative ways of wishing sickness onto others... but Hungarian actually combines all of them, and then some and strings them together in gloriously lengthy chains, sometimes seamlessly incorporating words from other languages (like "kurva"). Hungarian swearing is an art.

And if you're in a city without a large Hungarian community (it's getting rarer nowadays), you can let out a 10-minute string of swearing without anyone actually understanding you, the only strange thing will be that every nun in a 100 km radius gets the urge to cross herself.
