...when you end up watching Georgian tv because it was mislabelled as a Turkish stream, and you're captivated, even though you aren't learning Georgian.

Guilty! Especially as a beginner, you tend to learn the same words in several languages (in my case Korean and Latin) and doing several decks in a row never fails to produce that kind of confusion. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You're watching an Italian band, and you go right to the front of the crowd before they start playing. Not because you're a particularly big fan; just so you can hear them talk to each other as they get ready.

...when you've spent the last 2-3 nights staying up to about 5 in the morning
downloading comparative grammars and grammars of languages that's you've never even heard of before. ...when you enjoy reading a comparative grammar book but are perplexed at the realisation that the enjoyment of such a thing would sound weird to absolutely everyone you've ever known. Damn you archive.org!
I love how anachronistic that is. 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||
