When the first thing that comes to your mind when you follow the news about the crisis in Greece is: Why on earth did I give up studying Greek two years ago?

Ogrim, all the reasons to pick it back up, get cash and go to Greece)

When people think it's awesome that I learned all that German by myself and I'm annoyed because: a)
there's not so much German after all b) there are people who do it much better

When you decide to not buy the Catalan translation of a popular young adult book you just
happened across in a bookstore in Boston, because you don't plan to, and have never
wanted to, study Catalan, and you're already spending money on a French sci-fi novel and
TWO Hungarian fantasy novels that you'll learn to read someday, and you really have to
draw the line somewhere.

Aaaand you regret it everyday since then....

When it seems like you spend half of your time trying to convince people that a) "all those exceptions" don't
make English the hardest language in the world or that b) "no cases and no noun gender" don't make English
the easiest language in the world. When you point out that really, the difficulty of any language is going
to depend on what your native language is and how many other languages you know, they look at you like
you've gone insane.

When it seems like you spend the other half of your time answering the question, "How many languages
are you fluent in?"

When you are considering making one of those vanity videos where you attempt to speak all your
languages.
