When you have one of those secret x-mas gifts exchange and you are the only one who can
get out of the party not having somebody envying you gift because they were books written in Mam and Singala. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

...when you are in a place away from your books, but you keep on looking for foreigners, to sit by them and do two things that most people in this page love to do: 1st overhear someone's speech in another language, 2nd feel like a spy been sure that those people don't even imagine that you are totally understanding their chat. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

When you make a four-hour trip to your apartment and back just to retrieve your copy of
TY Old English and when your mother asks why, you say it's because you need it for the start of the TAC. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

When you vacillate between "Auld Lang Syne" in Burnsean Scots and "Skuld gammel venskab rejn forgo" in Western Jutish. I don't intend to sing anything, but as documentations of uncompromising dialects (maybe languages) both versions are very interesting.

When you have a headache, refuse to admit that your brain is overloaded with languages; you listen to various amounts of Romanian, Spanish, Swedish and Portuguese within 2-3 hours and you're better :D

When you read through your dirty German book, just to analyze the grammar.
When you are at a music store and are buying a Rammstein cd for a friend for a christmas gift and the cashier makes conversation with you regarding Rammstein and asks you if you know German, you say yes and he says say something in German so you say "etwas" the German word for something and he actually finds this funny, and you wonder if he was flirting with you a bit...perhaps he was wondering the same thing xD Edited by LebensForm on 04 January 2012 at 7:18am 3 persons have voted this message useful |
