When you are excited to watch this Greek movie, just because you're in the mood for listening to Greek (and Farsi for that matter) today, yet they've dubbed it into Russian and you fail to watch it...(3 times!!)

When you're at the dentist getting a filling, and you deliberately focus on Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics in your mind to relax.

When you giving visiting friends a tour of different areas of your city and you go into a store and are able to read all the signs, product names, and funny postcards written in a language you have not studied seriously since your university days several decades ago. Not only is this the highlight of your day (and your time with your guests)but it renews your interest in getting back to that beautiful language. You now know what your next target language will be-Italian!

When you buy Oi Ocha tea, knowing fully well that it's unsweetened and you weren't keen on it last time, simply because it has cool-looking kana and kanji on a vibrant green background on the bottle...
