When a friend imagines a vacation in Lapland and
you start imagining about studying Saami. When you add the word Saami to your dictionary to avoid that the autocorrector puts "salami" instead. 5 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Happened to me when my friend said she wants to go to Israel and I learned some basic phrases in Hebrew the same day... because why not? :D - When you sit in your English class trying to write an essay, looking for a word you don't know in English but in 3 other languages you're not even half as good in. - When you're lying in bed, about to fall asleep, then you suddenly need to get up because you need to know how to say thank you in Slovakian. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

- When you realize that in 5 minutes you wrote in 5 different languages.
- when you realize that you're having more and more multilingual friends. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

When one day you find yourself feeling the spelling "weird" is wrong, and that the correct spelling is "wierd".

I usually only come across the English word "albeit" when reading, though I've heard it in conversation. I remember when I actually went to use it in a conversation I pronounced it like the German word Arbeit but with the L. I don't think the person I was talking to noticed, hopefully. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Someone has used weird in an email, and when I hit reply, the word was not being underlined as having a spelling mistake. I actually had to google the word to confirm that the spelling was correct. 1 person has voted this message useful |
