You're a hopeless language nerd when you went through this whole thread, looking for the
best posts, assembled them on a colourful collage, and printed out a huge poster, so that all your visitors would be able to read about your obsession ;-) 8 persons have voted this message useful | |

When you go into the staff room at lunch and are disappointed that other colleagues are there as it
means that what could be useful language studying time is going to be 'wasted' making smalltalk with your colleagues. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Whenever you caught yourself feeling awkward, when speaking in your native language, instead practicing the others you're studying/using.
