I hope to be able to recognize correct-but-odd word choices in Spanish. And, furthermore, I hope to be able to avoid them. (Not there yet, but it will always be a case of "I don't know what I don't know." You know?)
In the meantime, I get a kick out of how certain words and phrases are translated into English, whether it be translated instructions for tours (penguins with dark intentions will trespass your gloves), or signage.

Like I said - I can only hope to achieve the reverse, and be able to recognize when I say or write something that is technically correct, but not really what is said.
I keep my phone and iPad set to español, and one of my apps translated the 'back' button incorrectly. And that app just happened to be a translation dictionary.
