I use something vaguely similar for my passwords, but with Russian instead of spanish/german.

Fun fact: the password based on Russian transliteration that looks NOTHING like any English word I've seen (imagine "cexuqakr3") trips the linux "too close to dictionary word!" warning while a less secure password that's based on two english words (imagine "bellykitten13") doesn't.
