Do they show "Dad's Army"? Try to catch the episode where some German sailors have landed and are holding some locals hostage. Their senior officer is played by the (Welsh) actor Philip Madoc (great actor, sadly died this year). I can remember thinking: "his German sounds pretty good", and it turned out he was indeed a German speaker, studying languages at the University of Wales and U. of Vienna).

You, my friend need to widen your diet. Eating out should always get a few new words or even a new language - mine is Mongolian but it's a Thai restaurant and I am not (honest I am not) studying either actively..... yet. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

When you're at a job interview and you somehow end up talking about your foreign language obsession, Danish and Finnish with your (supposedly) future boss. :X

When you read that a footballer (Olić ;_;) will be out for 4-6 weeks and to put this into a perspective, you think: that's the length of an entire Tadoku or 6WC! He could reach at least A2 in a new language in this time...

When you are really starting to believe that Paul Pimsleur is stalking you.
Thanks to internet advertisers who know that I visit language learning sites, EVERYWHERE I go online, I see this the ad claiming "Language Professors Hate Him!" with this photo: 
But as annoying as this is, I can't take it seriously, because he totally looks like Mr. Bean:

Dios mio! You mean I'm not the only one? I was starting to get scared they might actually know where I live. And come and get me. And take me to the crazy farm. At least I'll have company there if they do! =) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

A multilingual crazy nerd farm sounds like fun to me! I had a feeling Pimsleur Bean was following many of us. We will defeat him! (and his yellow friend Rosetta) Edited by meramarina on 05 June 2012 at 12:00am 4 persons have voted this message useful |
