When you are almost,- yes, almost, but not quite- embarrassed to admit that "you know you are a language nerd when" has become the first thing you look for when you log on

Also, I don't think this has been said in 30 pages or so, so I'll reiterate it for the 5th time in this thread: When you have read every post in this thread! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

When, while on holiday in Tenerife, you can communicate with everyone you've met in the last 10 days in their native languages. And when your non language-nerdy friends and family comment on how impressed they are, you simply repeat what Asiafeverr said above - that speaking languages is possible for anyone if they put in the required amount of effort.

when you are out with friends, bored, and you recall the postings on "you know you are a language nerd when" and you suddenly begin to laugh, much to the surprise/wonderment of your friends. Actually, they already think you are weird so perhaps they are not as surprised as you would expect. Edited by psy88 on 01 August 2010 at 12:03am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You are curious to know which languages a person speaks or even studies.
