when adding languages to your hit list
feels a lot like being a kid in a candy store; “Oh, I want this one! Ooooh, and that
one!”
When you don't add languages to your hit list for this very reason.


Good strategy. I have "upgraded" several languages (Finnish, Hungarian, Georgian,
Romanian, Persian) to high priority on there and now I want to learn all of them really
badly! I don't know what I'm going to do, because I just don't have time right now...

EDIT: Originally I wrote "a couple languages" and then realized that five is a bit more
than that...


...When you are slightly ashamed that you only have 2 languages on your hit list after
reading this..... better go add some more, excuse me for a moment.....:)

when you have been studying your second target language for several months (while continuing with your first, of course!)and finally get it posted on your profile and now, when you see it posted, it gives you such a great feeling of pride that you redouble your efforts,committing yourself even more fully to the challenge of learning the second language. When, by making a public statement about it, you feel a greater sense of responsibility to pursue your goals.

What's an SRS? Does not knowing get me rejected from the ranks of the language nerds? >.<

When you wonder what foreign languages have the most foreign language resources written in them.
