When your minimum wage job becomes worthwhile because you give language advice to the customers and refer
them to various resources. It's nice when they return the next week smiling, telling you confidently that they're on
their way to learn another language. Another satisfied customer! :D

I work at a gym :)

I guess I've become their personal trainer in exercising their language muscles, haha.

When you pass up a Friday night of boozin and fun adventures with the fellas to instead
watch a movie in a foreign language on your own.

...your "TOREAD" list of books has books on at least 5 different languages, some of which

...when your father begins to wonder why you've suddenly received seven books in the mail in the past three days, and when he finds out they're all Teach Yourself [X language] courses, he is left wondering why he wondered in the first place...

When you enable keyboard layouts for languages you don't even want to study, just to see
what it's like to type in such different scripts.

When you wish your family good night in other languages.

When you are playing a ball game in the pool with your family, and you arrange yourself so that when you miss the
ball it will land near a pair of women speaking an unidentified language so you have an excuse to go over and
listen in on them.

(I did this today. It turned out to be Mandarin)

You know you're a language nerd when your friend goes to get something from your notebook for a class, but
instead finds pages covered in Russian! They frantically search through it while you watch, amused. You then tell
them that they are in the wrong notebook, and that what they were going through was your Russian notebook. They
go into the next notebook labeled for the correct class. They find the sheet, but it's filled out... in German.
