You're toying with Old Church Slavonic so you can compete in emk’s Dead Language challenge.

When you learn a language for years and see this happen... I'm not faulting you, I'm not perfect either. Just... the fact that I care is when I know I'm a language nerd. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

You don't have to be a language nerd to care about grammar. Of course, when you're not a native speaker and you correct a native speaker, well that's a pretty good sign! But what's this about a dead language challenge? Edited by Jeffers on 13 February 2014 at 1:49pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You're in a coffee shop chatting in a mixture of English and French and you think you're doing pretty well... until you realise that the people next to you are chatting in a mixture of not only English and French but also... Arabic. Ok, I suppose they win this time!

When you pick up a second hand copy of a dvd you always meant to buy, are momentarily
disappointed it doesn't have the soundtrack for the language you're learning but cheer up when you see it does have Hungarian and Polish instead which might be handy one day... 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

You see a poster saying “Nail Polish” and think it’s a language learning instruction, and not a beauty product.
