Well you wouldn't want to learn how to say the potatoes can't dance very well that would just be silly.

A long long time ago (but not in a galaxy far far away), when I was in high school, there was dance called the "mashed potatoes" and a song to go along with it. Now, those potatoes could dance in any language :-)

When choosing the next language to seriously focus on feels like a life crisis. There are just so many language to
study. I'm split between 6 languages. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When you're speaking to a family member, they look at you strangely and you just can't figure out why.

When choosing the next language to seriously focus on does NOT feel like a life crisis, but more like buying a new laptop or microwawe oven. Edited by Iversen on 08 March 2010 at 1:12pm 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When family start buying you comfy socks embroidered with words in different languages and fancy exotic scripts. And to make matters worse, with all those words under your belt from studying languages so far, you still have no idea what they say at first, only to discover after a little bit of further research on the Internet that they all offer up the same profound piece of wisdom in several languages..."sock" ;) Edited by Teango on 08 March 2010 at 2:23pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Today I took a history quiz on something I didn't read. It asked for the name of some Italian guy, and all of the names looked somewhat Italian. I said them all in my head with an Italian accent, and picked the one that sounded most "Italian." I got it right. Would a non-language nerd have done this? I think not.
