You search for videos of footballers from your country who are playing abroad. Not in the hope of seeing them in action, but to see how they are coping with the language.

When you think about all the reasons to travel to a certain country and one of the main ones is that English (or your native language) is not an official language there.

Haha golden! I was always curious whenever an ex-All Black moved to play rugby in France, whether they learnt French or not. Many do try! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When a question in another thread on this Forum makes you spend half an hour searching for Serbian internet sites in order to get an idea of the ratio between Latin and Cyrillic script in Serbian media. And you do this although you are (still) not learning Serbian.

When you don't even blush about getting the flyer (info about the skiing area) in all six languages. Your native one, two you already speak, one you are learning and two you are definitely going to study next year.

When you have installed so many different language settings on your computer that the wall behind your PC is plastered with printouts of keyboard layouts, because you have not yet memorised the Russian, Canadian French, Greek, Serbian and Hebrew keyboard layouts.

When the first thing you check for, before buying a DVD, is if it has the dialogue and captions in your target
language. 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When you first check in how many of your target languages (and those high on the hitlist) it is dubbed and subtitled on the dvd. When those thieves wanting you to pay so much only for original and one target language make you angry. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
