....When you're in a high school history class, taking notes on the Mexican revolution, and you suddenly look at your paper only to find out that all of your notes are in Spanish. :)

....When you start to get headaches from automatically translating things into various languages.

....When you hear a language you don't understand, and automatically plan to find out what it is and learn it promptly.

....When you hear a language you don't understand, begin to follow the process outlined above, and then realize you've simply misheard your native tongue.

When you finally decide to organize all the language learning materials you have been accumulating for your two target languages and then realize that, even studying a few hours a day, six to seven days a week, you would have to live to at least 125 to go through all the materials, and that doesn't include your plan to add a third language next year.

...You've really been wanting to watch one of your favorite movies (The Sound of Music), and were considering
ordering it off of Amazon, and got really excited to see that the DVD has options for dubbing in Spanish and
French, but decided against buying it--because you wanted to watch it in Portuguese.
