....I was thinking I'd give myself Spanish as a new years resolution gift or something. I also gave myself... a gift in the form of a Hungarian text book I found at an old book store today.

when in the course of reading an article on wikipedia, you can't resist experimenting with the list of languages on the left, and spend more time trying to read the article in 6 languages than in your native language.
