I took 4 years of college French and can't speak or understand a lick of French, but I can still understand basic Spanish (both spoken and written) due to one year of middle school Spanish. I remember going to Peru in college and being worried about how I was going to get around, then stepping out of the airport and realizing holy shit I know what all these signs say. Not sure why that is but I'm always surprised at how much Spanish I can understand having never really studied it save for one year in middle school.
