Good strategy. I have "upgraded" several languages (Finnish, Hungarian, Georgian, Romanian, Persian) to high priority on there and now I want to learn all of them really badly! I don't know what I'm going to do, because I just don't have time right now... EDIT: Originally I wrote "a couple languages" and then realized that five is a bit more than that...

...When you get your computer back (had to get the OS reinstalled, it's a long story), the first thing you do is add all of the keyboard settings you had before, even the configurations for languages you never plan to learn.
Hey, some alphabets just look cool. and I just remembered, I forgot to add Georgian. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

-When you read the instructions on a nail product box in Spanish, English, french, German and Italian just for fun/to see how much you understand/learn new words.(Ok, you also do it when you see anything written in more than 1 language)
-The first thing you do when you walk through a book shop is run the dictionary section to see if they have in new languages or you look for novels in other language. -You randomly look for internet tuturials to learn a new exotic language. -You think the World Cup sticker album is awesome because it's in 7 languages. -When you're at a touristic place you try to catch what language are speaking the other tourists. -Your ipod has songs in more than 4 languages (and that's exactly why you think Eurovision song contest it's amazing!) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Hahahaha don't feel bad, maybe I exaggerated!...Some songs that are in a language I'm not familiar with I don't even know what they say, I just like the way they sound...But there's a cool Dutch rap song called "eeyeeyo" you should have, if you like that genre.
