I was forced to study French randomly when I was in school. I don't remember how to say a single damn thing but to this day I still know some of the words to "petit poissons"
I have the same relationship with Latine. I also only remember parts of a "poem" (which is not even an ancient thing, it was written during the XVIIth century and then translated for some reason by someone with way too much time on their hands).
Haha which poem is that?

A poem that became a meme is responsible for the only Norwegian I know. I can communicate with the French about fish being eaten by larger fish, and I can communicate with Norwegians about how ugly baby carrots are. And, really, what more do you need?
Ah in the shadow of the carrot, how ugly, babycarrot! I don't know the Norvegian part though. Coincidentally, I looked up the fish thing and I had never heard of it before, so if you had started to tell me about the fish eating smaller fish thing, I would have thought you were nuts^^'
It is "the wolf and the lamb", by Jean de la Fontaine. It starts with Agnum in agro vivit et saepe at rivum venit and somewhere there's "meam aquam bibis! Tuam aquam non bibo, lupe".
