I was at the DMV today renewing my driver license, and was doing some Cyrillic writing practice while I waited. When I got to the counter, the employee commented how I was learning Russian. I was impressed she knew. So we talked for a few minutes about languages and language learning while she prepared my new license.

Planning to pack for your next business trip you think "What can I leave behind to let me bring more L2 materials back with me." and the answer is "Basically - everything."

when normally you would be very angry and really frustrated by someone holding up the line at the DMV by chatting with the clerk, but if you found out it is because he was practicing his target language you wouldn't mind...as much. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

So guilty! :) I recently even heard myself saying to my better half: "if we remove half the clothes on this trip, we'll be able to bring some of my Irish books" (lol - poor girl, look at what she has to live with!). 1 person has voted this message useful |
