Ok...I was just making sure you weren't forcing yourself to listen to music you didn't like simply for the sake of learning. I do agree that it is tricky at first until you find some groups/singers to get "hooked on" in the target language and until you get a decent selection of material so you don't burn out on the few songs you've found that you like.

It would certainly change the meaning of the usual conversation when one asked the other "do you feel like Italian tonight?" "oh, no, not Italian again" "well,how about Japanese?" " I had Japanese already today. How about French?" " I know, let's try Spanish" Well, you get the idea. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

You know you're a language nerd when you get excited about learning the Georgian alphabet, and you start crying
and bawling when you forget half of it the next day :(. But then you dedicate about two hours, probably contributing to your future carpal tunnel, in order to relearn the Georgian alphabet, while listen to Bulgarian music. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

...when you stubbornly keep on practicing your French sentences out loud, despite having a cold which severely impedes your ability to pronounce the nasal vowels.

...when you long for the "good old days" (before you were born) when academic journals published articles in English, French and German without translation, as the educated person was expected to understand all three.

When going on this forum is a "break" between your Russian studies, and your French studies, and you think that,
regardless of content, time spent on an English-language-board is time wasted. 1 person has voted this message useful |
