When you realize if you get your French to a B1-B2, you will get access to many more
Assimil courses that aren't available with English as the base language :) 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

When you just ordered Assimil: Französisch ohne Mühe while you already own the French Assimil in your native language and you are slowly admitting to yourself that part of the reason behind your purchase of this seemingly rare (in the US) book with a retro, older style cover was for the sake of collecting and you realize there is a new dimension to the reasons of purchasing language materials.

:-) I brought Assimil El Alemán from Spain.
When you get totally excited about the fact your friend can say "You've got a fly in your beer" in Hungarian! And you almost regret you can't visit Budapest, at least in the next few years, because you don't have time to learn basics of Hungarian. And you just can't go without knowing the language at all! :-D 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

I kind of feel the same way, but I'm trying to get over it since I don't have as much time to learn as I wish I had. Therefore, I try to tell myself that it's okay if I barely went further than the Assimil passive wave before leaving...

when you realise that every girl who can speak another language other her mother tongue, English and Dutch
becomes really interesting to your eyes. Edited by tristano on 29 September 2014 at 11:58pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

... when you find yourself in absurd situations only because you want to practice a foreign language!
Today I was going to my French course and suddenly a guy addressed me in Spanish asking me if I speak Spanish. Five minutes later I was praying with him in Spanish (in a street in the city center) and this has been the first time in my life I ever spoke Spanish :D 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

I just spent 80 minutes studying Slovene and I'm not even supposed to be studying Slovene! Edited by Henkkles on 15 October 2014 at 12:38pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Maybe immortality is too much, but you wish you could live for at least 50,000 years so that you could master
ever living language, and maybe some dead ones too! 3 persons have voted this message useful |
