I did. We were at an advance a whole state away....and somebody SIT in German...but I think it was high-German since I recognized it...but not every word. I got the gist of the interpretation as well (since I sorta understood the language)
I knew it was high German because in college I had to take German because I was a biology major and mostly we translated scientific papers which were written only in high German.
I never have, but my sister claimed to have known someone who heard a TWI-er SIT and they understood it, and according to her what was said was not what was "interpreted".
I was at a leaders conference in TX where someone spoke in French.. Not that I knew a bunch of French, but the few words I could understand, I could pick out in the interpretation.. (But then someone who knew that person better than I mentioned the person "possibly" knew French...)
Can't say I have, but then I only really know English. Took on semester of French, flunked out of Spanish and took a year of Latin. I've forgotten almost every word I knew in those languages. I have met people who have said they understood the tongue being spoken, but it wasn't at TWI event.
I can understand how one might hear familiar words from another language such as French or Russian or German or Portuguese, but if the message is from God, shouldn't the context and syntax be accurate?

Given your initial question and now this one, according to Acts 2: 4 - 11 It should be. :)
Oh - - - and my answer (to the first question), is no.

Nope, never. But then I'm kinda illiterate...I only understand one language: English. English that humans speak, not the Angelic dialect.

I heard someone who sounded really stupid. I know because I understand stupid and in fact am pretty fluent in speaking stupid myself. Does that count?
