You are only a beginner student of Chinese, but still correct Google Translate's mistakes as you go along, with sentences like "我想现在说英文可是他不会说英文"

When you feel like learning Russian just to be able to read the whole of Tarvos' log, Dutch for the same
reason with Hekje's log, and Danish with Fasulye's log. Thanks to all members writing in their target
language, you all rock!

When all or most language encounters make you say to yourself "maybe someday..."

When you know that that letter needs a dot and not a cedilla.

I collect language books. For languages I don't plan on learning. Guilty as charged.

..when you stop seeding most torrents around a ratio of 1.2:1 to 1.5:1 but you just can't
bring yourself to stop seeding the FSI torrent that was posted here last year. As a result it
is now at a ratio of over 17:1 and as of today has been seeding for exactly a year
(apparently I downloaded it March 10, 2013, which I didn't notice until I had already started
typing this post). Stopping that torrent just seems...wrong, somehow.
