When you write kana on the back of your Spanish class papers xD

And when your parents won't take you into stores with Japanese products for fear of you reading everything to them

Haha, you start having a conversation with yourself in Japanese.

Then, you hop in eBay and buy an imported PSP game... and it doesn't bother you that you can't read some of the kanji... because you just bought an exciting new kanji dictionary!!!!! Sure, it'll take you a while to get through the game, but you don't care!

Oh yeah, then you go to HotTopic to see if they have any new anime keychains... and the people in there ask you a question... and you replay "hai hai." Yeah... they gave me a strange look! *cheesy grin*

When you answer your French teacher in Japanese two times in a row:
(Me: Doko
Her: ??
Me: Ah, gomen nasai!)

When you write something in Japanese and call anyone who can't read it a baka gaijin

When you give up on spanish and instead of working on stuff for spanish class you work on japanese and as japanese seaps in more and more spanish that you sware you knew seaps out. (i did do that. . . i will not lie. . . umm... And i was in Spanish level 3. i refuse to even attempt at the language ever again though. It sounds nice but i don't want to speak it lol)
This describes my situation perfectly. sweatdrop Now I accidentally write Japanese on my Spanish papers occasionally. crying Only bit of Spanish I remember is pan, which is bread... since it's the same thing in Japanese xd Hm... I do / have done all of these:

-When you bring back a thread about studying Japanese too much that's been dead for the past 3 months
-When you're reading a book out loud in English class and you say "for goodness 酒" instead of "for goodness sake"
-When you write notes to yourself in Japanese so that other people won't find out your intentions
-When you start to watch anime for educational purposes
-When you start to play Japanese versions of online games because you know enough Japanese to sign up and download it
-When you start swearing in Japanese to avoid being yelled at
-When your anime-addicted friend is telling you about an episode of anime and it goes something like this:
Friend: "So then Yamashita was like..."
You: "Yamashita? That's a weird name. It means 'under a mountain.'"
Friend: "You just killed the conversation."
-When you start talking in engrish on accident. I've accidentally told someone not to sit down, but to... well, imagine saying "sit down" with a Japanese accent, lol.
-You start using Japanese emoticons because they're so much better. ( ̄へ ̄)

you start muttering random Japanese words subconciously, making even Japanese people think you're crazy (I did this today. I was sitting down and unintentionally uttered "mitsukemas..." - sp? - or "I'm looking for..." and my foreign exchange student sister was like "what did you say?" I told her what I said and she told me that if I said that randomly in Japan that everybody would think I was crazy, so I said in a spacy voice "kaitou o mitsukemas..." or "I'm looking for the answer..." She started laughing and told me the people would be like, "good for you. go ahead.")

When you start to tell your friends Japanese puns even though they won't understand it. sweatdrop

I told my friend a pun where I said "怖い" (kowai, scary) instead of "可愛い" (kawaii, cute), but he thought I was just mispronouncing "kawaii" sweatdrop

You study it too much when you invent a new form of English chatspeak using Japanese Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji, which I have, may the grammar gods have mercy on my soul

When you go to the library daily just to see if they finally got Japanese language literature, and every time you go, there's only Chinese...

When you talk to your friends who supposedly know Japanese, and they force you to speak in English.

Your English sounds more and more accented...you can no longer pronounce pr, br, kr, correctly (it endeds up like pura, bura, kura) and you can no longer distinguish r and l.


OMG!!! I get my B and V's mixed up, and my R and Ls!!! I'll be like "Oh, that's a vig led ban" (that's a big red van) and my parents are like "WUT?"
