...when while playing Counter Strike or Call of Duty with a friend you try to read the supposedly arabic graffiti on the
walls and get annoyed when you notice that most of them are either complete gibberish or written from left to right with only isolated forms of the letters and when you then stay in one area of the map where you can hear arabic radio broadcasts as part of the background audio. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

You analyze the bilingual signs at your workplace to learn Spanish vocabulary and grammar
so you can try using it on your co-workers. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

When people ask you what you want for your birthday/Christmas, and you genuinely can't think of anything not
language-related. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

When you head off to London with the sole intention of buying some casual summer shirts from a Spanish store, but you also happen to....
i) spend most of the train ride into the City talking in Russian (in the vain hope of having a secret conversation); ii) pop into "Herman Ze German" for Currywurst, Apfelschorle and a chinwag with the German staff; iii) buy "Winnie Ille Pu" (Winnie the Pooh) and a new Latin dictionary along the way (well, not quite along the way...more of a slight detour or two); iv) find a market stall on the way back to the station that cooks fresh takoyaki and gives you an opportunity to try out some Japanese; and v) enjoy the train ride back listening in to a festive group of Portuguese football supporters to round off the day. This was a good Bank Holiday Monday! :) Edited by Teango on 27 August 2012 at 9:23pm 6 persons have voted this message useful |
