When you tell everybody how extremely good you are at German, until they believe you and send you to Germany so that you can practise it in real situations.
Then you spend the two weeks you have before the trip will take place, listening to German music, reading German books and checking the grammar books with growing angst - as in reality you just spent five years skipping the German class in school.

Hermonie Urameshi Proudly_Jewish ...you have conquered the impossible - you can speak Russian perfectly. domokun Actually The impossible would be always speaking and writing with correct grammar in English.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT ENGLISH IS THE HARDEST LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD TO LEARN!!!? No arguments there, even for natives.

...you support a country in the World Cup just because you're learning their language - and you don't even like football. xd

You know you are obsessed with foreign languages when.....
Your parents never know what language your music is.
You've spent over 100 dollars on dictionaries, self teach, and language text-books, sometimes for fun.
You have one or more video games in Japanese and German :3
You write notes to foreign exchange students, in their language.
You've spazzed out and started accusing things and people in a different language.
Your teacher kicks you out of class for saying phrases that he doesn't know what they mean.
You give tourists in Disney World help to find a ride or place to eat, in their language.
You give anyone who speaks a different language directions.
You've been called to the school office to help someone throughout the day because you're capable of understanding them.
People have told you to "move away to [insert country]" because they cannot understand you.
You see a person who looks foreign, and must absolutely go up to them and ask what language they speak and start conversing with them in that language :3

Proudly_Jewish WellzY Proudly_Jewish ...you mutter at people in German when you're angry. domokun To the extent of my abilities. With so many pages, I'm sure almost everything has been said, but let's see... You know you're obsessed with languages when you spend hours in Wiki reading abuot them. *does that too* o.o Then again, I practically live on wikipedia nowadays xd Which one? I spend too much time reading about languages on Wikipedia in English, Chinese, and sometimes French or Japanese. (I don't know anything else well enough yet.) Or how about... you translate for Wikipedia. (I did that when I was in between schools, but now I don't have time for it.) LunaW0lf You have one or more video games in Japanese and German :3
The part about Japnese doesn't apply to people who live in Hong Kong (I used to). Most of the video games that are available are in Japanese, even if it is not a Japanese-speaking country. I can read some katakana because I used to spend too much time playing video games.

The MoUsY spell-checker Or how about... you translate for Wikipedia. (I did that when I was in between schools, but now I don't have time for it.) xD It is my goal to translate a bunch of articles into Pig Latin just to make people go "WTF?" Oh, the reactions I'd get. rofl
