Apparently the English word for schadenfreude is epicaricacy...if you want to get technical. There's a book out there whose name I can't quite recall that talks about various words and phrases that are exclusive to one language/region. Maybe someone else will know the title.

Forte - loud
ubermensh - Superman
crescendo - loudening
I know quite a few people who use epicaricacy, and though its origins are somewhat suspect, if people use it, it is a word.
