Not really. I picked up a bit from Poles living in West Berlin in the 70's. I can get by pretty well in German as I worked at Daimler Benz in Sindlefingen for a while and also having lived in Berlin. I studied Spanish for two years in high school and again in college and I expect it would come back pretty quickly.
Whenever, I get the opportunity to visit France, I study and practice French as hard as I can and, although, I get the basics okay (Je veux boire du vin), I'm not pronouncing it correctly. Fortunately, the French are very gracious if you just try and don't get upset if you make a real pig's ear of it.
