When you even consider referring to this thread as "like, totally my crack."
When you enjoy your teachers talking about current events because the only news you get is through your foreign language studies so it helps reinforce your vocabulary by reminding you of all the words you learned. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Yep! I learned about the volcano in Iceland originally from a post in Teango's language log and then reading about it in an article from a Greek newspaper. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When you set up your sister's new DSi and are disappointed that it only has three
languages available - English, French, and Spanish - unlike your own DS lite which has three more - Italian, German, and Japanese. When you wish yours had Turkish available - and games in Turkish to go along with it. Edited by Rabochnok on 21 April 2010 at 5:41am 1 person has voted this message useful |
