When you watch a movie, hear a foreign language, and say to yourself "hey I think I'll learn that one.." :D

... you start a new language, and, when making vocabulary lists, don't use a consist language for the translations. Sometimes when I am writing vocabulary notes for Slovenian, sometimes they're in French, German, Italian, Russian or even Latin. And the best thing is, I don't even think which one I want the translation in, it just flows.. it's weird :]

I don't believe in reincarnation and I'm afraid to say that I haven't got any longevity drugs (wish I had, though!). I was actually thinking along the same lines as Levi, minus the drool (Volte's right, not only does spoil the undigitized material but it could even short out my new electronic brain). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

...When you create a YouTube channel for listening to music in your target languages. ...When you choose to learn a language just because you like it's orthography.

When you have a tattoo about learning languages.
I have on my ribs "Kolik jazyků znáš, tolikrát jsi člověkem" Its a czech saying meaning for every language you learn you gain a new life. I got it in Prague. I also have another tattoo in Spanish. Its a the last 3 lines of Pablo Neruda's poem The Heights of Machu Picchu. I got that in Cusco, Peru. I plan to get more foreign language tattoos in my travels. 6 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

...when you have to stop and think what language it was that you were just using, or are
in the middle of using, because you don't remember. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

When, if you speak English and are learning Spanish, a family member walks in while you are watching television and sarcastically congratulates you for finally watching an English language show...and it is really only because you were changing channels to find a Spanish telenovela that the English show was on.
