When the print on the front of the first Christmas card you receive this year is in
wishes in 9 languages, and not only that but the personalized wish from the
friend that sent it is written in an excellent collaboration of Russian, German, English,
Bulgarian and French!

When you wake up in the middle of the night with recollections of studying Mandarin in a futuristic secret polyglot training facility. Now if I can only get back to sleep and finish my dream training...

When you see the news titled "a polyglot businessman in Bryansk earned 11 million roubles by growing weed at home" and all you want to know is what languages he speaks. (the article says he speaks 4 European langs but mentions only German bc apparently the manuals he used were in German)

When your visit to New York City includes a stop by the Public Library so you can see what they have in the Foreign Language Learning section.
And you're delighted to find books you've heard of but never seen before.
