wow loooool It took me about three minutes to get this post! At first i was like "what do you mean? Of course, it's the ROMANCE section. it has to be about romance languages." lool Another funny thing which happened to me was when i was at the barnes and noble library and my friend came up to me and told me he had found something in the science fiction section and that I had to control myself and not lose it and go crazy. after preparing me for about ten minutes he took to me to a section which was VERY oddly in the science fiction section instead of being in the history or philosophy section. And there it was!!! The LOEB Classical library!!! All classical books in Latin and Ancient Greek! I was seriously about to Pass out. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I hope you meant 8TB otherwise it's very poor language nerdery :) P.S. I had to burn my foreign language films onto DVDs since I didn't have enough memory. Now I'm running out of physical space to store them since each CD/DVD holder only holds a pathetic 220 DVDs each! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The closest thing I can think of is doing what I do, I wake up to Spanish music, which gets stuck in my head, so I kind of have Spanish in my head first thing in the morning. Also, my language learning folder (named "Language Learning Stuff") is 56GB, and growing. There's some other random stuff that isn't in there yet, but it's not even 1GB of stuff. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

When you were young you invented a language. It actually sounded pretty cool. Edited by Tally on 30 June 2010 at 4:59pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

When you miss a day of studying and you wake up in the middle of the night thinking you

On the top shelf of your languages bookcase (only one bookcase, so far) are the materials for three languages you have no plans to study. All of the audio materials for these languages are on cassettes. You seriously consider having them converted to CDs.
After a frustrating and unsuccessful errand, you pop into a book store, conveniently located nearby, to cheer yourself up by browsing the languages section. You pick up a tempting but completely unnecessary grammar book, examine, put down, walk away, go back, pick up...repeat four times until you finally either give in and buy it or tear yourself away. While in that bookstore, you check out the Pimsleur Ojibwe package. You have no plans to ever study Ojibwe, but... Edited by Kary on 30 June 2010 at 6:03pm 3 persons have voted this message useful |
