I've never been able to follow a straight path in a European museum because my decisions in determining my route are almost 100% dependent on the paths of people speaking languages I'm interested in.
When going on a half-week spring break vacation to a giant music festival two of the essentials you bring are TY Swedish and The Stuff of Thought by Steven Pinker. EDIT: Woops, swung late on the obligatory Youtube link. Edited by kottoler.ello on 22 March 2010 at 4:47am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When the shy japanese/chinese girls run away from you and think you're weird beacuse the
first thing you ask them is "do you speak japanese/chinese? can I practice my japanese/chinese with you?" When the only people you want to make friends with are the ones who speak at least two languages fluently. You're an even bigger lang-nerd when you're not really interested in friendship, you just want to have somebody to practice your target language. When you loooooove to walk aroud your city's chinatown and stare for hours at all the chinese characters signs and ads. Even a bigger lang-nerd when you write them all down to learn them when you get home. Edited by karaipyhare on 23 March 2010 at 8:10pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

...when you consider moving to a big city just to be able to practice Chinese in a Chinatown. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Sadly! I've found myself ditching my English-speaking friends lately and have dropped out of contact with plenty entirely. I'm just so tired of English! lol. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
