...when you are in your 30s yet you don't find it particularly strange that you spent a good bit of time browsing the "for kids" version of Yahoo Korea (http://kr.kids.yahoo.com) yesterday.

When your favorite parts of Apocalypse Now were the ones where you got to hear the natives speaking Vietnamese.

When your language books have accumulated a strange collection of stains, tears, and smudges because you insist on lugging them around everywhere. Edited by Amerykanka on 27 April 2011 at 12:43am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

... when the highlight of your day was that you chatted a bit about Finnish with your Anatomy teacher after she wrote the comment, "Isn't Finnish supposed to be a really hard language with like 13 cases?" to your "I will study from my Finnish grammar book during my three day weekend." response. You correct her that there's actually 15 cases. You're happy there's someone who actually cares about this tidbit of information.
(Maybe because she's from England and can actually point out Finland on a map. For most Americans who aren't into foreign languages Europe is just one big land mass. :P) - Kat Edited by Phantom Kat on 27 April 2011 at 1:05am 1 person has voted this message useful | |
