The morning I wrote that I could log in as normal, but ten minutes later I had no access again. No idea why I was able to get in in the first place. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

When you have colleagues from Poland, India and Lithuania at work and feel excruciatingly
dull for being unable to have at least a small chat in their mother tongues. Then you go back home and search for stuff in Polish, because you know you can pick something up in it faster than in the other two. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

When you are looking forward to the awesome bookfair in May and plan what foreign books will be available. This year's honorary guest will be Hungary. Hmm, Hungarian is one of the few languages that have never appeared on my hit list :-(
P.S. the lingq forum thread is sooo funny! Speaking about htlal censorship while putting asterisks instead of competitor's name and saying: "a lot of those people seem to have drunk the kool-aid that says that you can be a C2, native level that lets you do "anything in target language that you can do in native language" in 3 months" as the opposite of their approach, that made me laugh :-D 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

When you strike a conversation with a group of foreigners speaking your exotic target language on the subway and you decide to tag along, regardless of the direction they're going in (for a while at least).
Yes, I liked it. In the end, I agree with the guy that wrote: "It never ceases to amaze me how much time people spend complaining on the internet." When you come to think of it, it all boils down to that, one way or the other. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

When you check a sentence on 'Google Translate' and, out of curiosity, spend the next 15 minutes seeing how it looks (and sounds) in 25 of the 81 other languages available - thus triggering severe wanderlust.
After which you spontaneously swear that you absolutely have to learn Finnish some day. Edited by Mooby on 02 May 2014 at 12:00am 5 persons have voted this message useful |
