Kool-Aid Jammers...joyfully perpetrated grievous bodily harm to blue raspberries...you're right Meramarina, there's definitely something wrong in this picture. But hey, wait a minute...it's alright, no need to worry...it's got vitamin C and electrolytes. ;)

When instead of relying in a timer to know when to flip over while tanning, you rely on how many lessons of your target language you've done.

While I'm not the tanning type, if I were, with how long it takes me to get through some lessons, I would come out looking like a lobster. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

When you are so impatient to want to speak it like I am with German ;_;

... while looking at language learning stuff on AbeBooks, you buy an old copy of Teach Yourself Danish simply because it's a wonderful deal and you *might* some day want to learn the language.

... when at a bookstore (next to the huge ostentatious eyesore that the Rosetta Stone
display is) you find, nestled snugly between an enormous French dictionary and the shelf wall, a hefty looking Estonian book and then spend the next 20 minutes convincing yourself not to buy it "just in case". 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

When your friend asks you to meet up with her in London, and although you want to see her, all you can think about is all that potential study time you are missing - until you remember that the newsagents at the train station in London sells newspapers and magazines in foreign languages! (In my town this sort of material is like gold dust). You then proceed to spend the day walking around London with a bag that weighs about the same as a small country.
