You know you're a language nerd when you play games like flipping through a travel book and radomly choosing a
page and then saying something in the language of the country where that place is. You know you're an even bigger
language nerd when you just can't find a page for which you can't say anything.
I play this game with my friends and a globe, and they get frustrated. Even if I know only a few words they start to
get a little annoyed. Then they turn to africa and I'm lost O_O. |

Well, with four languages you can get at least one of the official languages of every African country except Ethiopia: English, French, Portuguese and Arabic.

Well I know words in all those languages, I meant countries that have like Hausa, Swahili, Zulu, etc. as one of the
official languages (and yes the game dictates that you must say something in each official language).

You know you're a language nerd when the fact that someone else says this about a language game melts your
heart.
Edit: And when you play such games on a daily basis :P.

I play alone. Often. I played it with my siblings a few times, and then my Georgian friend, and once with my
mom. I've lost only once. My mom kept choosing French speaking countries, and I ran out of French words.

Well Swahili isn't that hard. Just memorize this phrase: Ninasema Kiswahili vizuri sana! (I speak Swahili very well.)
