When you enjoy watching a tv series with sound in one target language and subtitles in a
different one. (Works great for me. I enjoy listening in English and get useful colloquial vocabulary, phrases and idioms in either French or Spanish) 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

You know you're a true language nerd when you're a native English speaker playing
Battlefield 3 in Russian but you put the subtitles in Spanish, just to ensure you understand every word... while at the same time listening to Serbian rap. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------- --- Sabes que eres un verdadero empollón para los idiomas cuando eres un hablante nativo de inglés jugando Battlefield 3 en ruso pero pones los subtítulos en español para segurar que entiendas cada palabra... mientas a misma vez estás escuchando a rap serbio. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------- --- You also know you're a language nerd when you want to translate every post you make in all of your favourite languages however you realize there's not enough time in the day for that. XD Finally you know you're a language nerd when in your last year of U.S. secondary school you are in on-level English but in AP (college-level) Spanish Literature as a "gringo", and still have higher grades than many native speakers regardless of the fact that half the time in class you're not paying attention and studying Russian.

Lol! That is so true! I don't think I even have any music on my phone, just foreign audiobooks and language courses! And I wouldn't change a thing :-p (except memory size!). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

When I feel really guilty about having taken a break from learning languages for a few days and even more guilty about admitting that I actually do have a social life away from this forum. Edited by mick33 on 23 February 2012 at 10:30am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When that nice pair of shoes you splurged on, which you knew was made in Israel, is even more appealing
because of the lovely script on the box! And Hebrew isn't even one of your languages ... yet. Edited by wv girl on 24 February 2012 at 1:08am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||
