...borrowing from another thread about what you do if your language library is on fire, you know you're a language nerd because you hurl yourself into the flames to perish with your beloved dictionaries, in a form of Language Nerd Suttee.

When you come home from three hours of archery practise three times in a week and feel guilty because you've spent nine hours of the week speaking English that you could have spent at home studying languages.

When you're preparing for a semester in Brazil and you're most excited about the prospect of reaching advanced fluency in Portuguese and view the sightseeing, partying, going out, etc. as secondary, and quite possibly an obstacle to the primary goal.
When you proudly exclaim to your Francophone roommate that you read an article on bilingualism in French all by yourself without ever having formally studied the language, explaining that it wasn't so difficult with the many French loanwords in English and the similarity it shares with other Romance languages, and she rolls her eyes yet again. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

There is such a restaurant in Elmsford, NY . Elmsord is about 30 minutes north of NYC, depending on how fast you drive:-). There is a language club and information about it can be found at www.westchesterlanguageclub.org One evening a month they meet at a restaurant. Individual tables are designated for different languages. I think this is the place Barry Farber referenced in one of his books. I hope this helps. EDIT: My mistake, but a good one. They meet EVERY Wednesday, NOT once a month.They are the Language Club of Westchester. Edited by psy88 on 29 September 2010 at 3:02am 1 person has voted this message useful |
