My former girfriend speaks English, French, Irish and German. She studied German through French at the Sorbonne. She's also done classes in Chinese and Spanish. She's no longer my girlfriend though. Since last year, she's now my wife. :-)

When your aunt and grandma ask you to learn a language because your cousin will have to learn it at school (French), and they're terrified at the thought of you not being there to help (like it is with English).

You're a language nerd when people use characters from other languages as emoticons, and
you know what language they're from. Bonus nerd points when you know how to pronounce them. You are the king of nerds if you then send a message to the person in that language, and then have to explain to them that it's the language whose character they just used as an emote. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

I know I'm a language nerd when spending 3 hours listening to, and translating, Finnish music seems like a perfect Friday night activity.

when you set a day aside to work on your thesis, study four languages instead and it still seems like a perfectly productive day.
