- When in your dream last night, you were part of an elaborately constructed crime in which the key to some vault was hidden inside a copy of Pimsleur Portuguese.
- When in your dream you were really pleased about this because even though Portuguese is not one of your target languages, you thought it might be fun to learn the basics so you saved it even though your fellow criminals got angry with you because you were refusing to destroy evidence.

When you, about every 10 minutes of the day, have thoughts about the most efficient ways to learn a language.
When you wake up at 5am and study Mandarin for two hours before breakfast and then somehow end up on this site for an hour (so far) ;)
When you have a growing list of languages you are infatuated with (Gothic, Romanian, etc...)

When you study one language (not two, one thousand or one billion - imagine how many keyboards one would need to write in them) and read ajatt.com on a regular basis.

...when you can identify non-words in your target language, rather than assuming they're words you don't know.
