When you wake up a little after 5AM on your day off because you hear Spanish on TV. Public TV has a program on
getting your GED in Spanish! You stay up listening to it, even though this is your only opportunity to sleep in for days to come. You are also very excited to hear a little more Spanish on a cartoon that comes on much later. Your sleepy daughter informs you that the character speaks Spanish sometimes and you are very tempted to continue watching, but this would interrupt your reading time for the 1/2 super challenge. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

when you got all excited watching the Turner Classic Movies channel because they were showing Laurel and Hardy movies from the 1930's followed by their foreign language versions, which included your target languages, French and Spanish. It seemed that in the 1930's dubbing was not perfected and was very costly. Laurel and Hardy would film their (English) movie and then would start in with the foreign language version. Since neither spoke another language, they read their lines from cue cards off screen. They actually also did German versions but only the French and Spanish ones were shown.

- when you feel a strange elation that your friend knows someone who knows (perhaps
fluent, if not highly conversational) in Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and Basque (!), and is currently studying Hungarian - when you feel put out that you can't recite everything you know about Basque to the friend because said person already did so - when your strategy for stopping yourself from thinking about some recent devastating news is by spouting out any and all Finnish words you know off the top of your head - Kat Edited by Phantom Kat on 28 January 2013 at 5:38am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

When you're around a group of your friends, you receive a phone call and answer it in Italian, and nobody even bats an eyelid.
