When you choose to read book because you think that it will boost your language skills more instead of book which you find more interesting.
When you consider any activity (reading newspaper, talking with friends,using windows, surfing on internet etc.) waste of time if it is done in your native language. When 100% of your additional Iphone/Android/Symbian applications are various dictionaries and SRS software. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

... when your father says: "You need not bring your books with you when you visit me" and offers: "You can read my french novels instead". And you cannot imagine to spend three days at another place without your own language study books...

When you start pondering over the subjunctive in the middle of a high volume rock
concert. When you're itching to go to a local seaside town on a hot day so you can spend 2 hours looking for language books in the amazing second hand book shop there. 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

...when you find yourself in demand for editing your friends' papers, correcting English, German, and Latin in one paper, and English, French, and Chinese in the next.

when you travelled all the way to Oxford on the pretense of visitng a friend when in fact you were language book shopping, attending the Buena Vista Socail Club concert and trying your Spanish out on native speakers in the coffee shops. I love Oxford
