When you have to present something in Spanish class, you realise that you have "Я люблю русский язык!" scrawled on your arm in silver Sharpie and you're wearing a shirt in Japanese.

...

Oh, and humming the Italian national anthem wasn't getting me anywhere either. ninja

But it was stuck in my head!


Try the Russian national anthem. sweatdrop That'll stick even worse.

gonk I try to avoid the Hymn of the Russian Federation at all costs. It gets hopelessly stuck.
But seriously, Korobejniki is stuck in my head really badly as it is. mad D

When you only speak in your favorite tongue, at the peak of orgasm.


I wouldn't normally think that that's a time for conversation... sweatdrop Whatever floats yer boat. I really couldn't imagine going "ACH! SO GUT!" when the time came.

In fact, I'm cracking up just thinking about it. rofl "Wer ist dein Vati? WER IST DEIN VATI!? scream " I'm quite positive that would scare my partner outta the room.


"ACH! SO GUT!" rofl I literally laughed out loud.

I apologize in case some of the stuff has been already said.

...when you can't even remember when you started learning English (it happened naturally from watching too much TV) domokun
...you can't understand how someone can watch dubbled versions of TVshows domokun
....you are extatic with the fact that the first sugestion the romanian EU delegate (I think that's what he's called) is that movies shouldn't be dubbled anymore domokun
...you still can't forgive your 8th grade English teacher for her stupid mistakes even if it's been four years since then
...you have an aversion towards dictionarys because of said teacher (she needed five of them and still didn't get it right)
...you are going with an undetermined speed(the speedometre was broke) down a twisted mountain road and instead of praying, all that comes to your mind is A-AE-AE-AM-A-A AE-ARUM-IS-AS-IS-AE (the noun endings for the first declination in Latin) or M-S-T-MUS-TIS-NT/I-ISTI-IT-IMUS-ITIS-ERUNT(verb endings in Latin)

...when you've turned your friend into a linguaphile. gonk

There's not much doubt about it now. She asked for a Swahili grammar book for Christmas (got it for her), and yesterday, we were at the mall together and went into Barnes & Nobles and she was considering buying several Tagalog books but decided to get another Spanish book instead. And now she's borrowed "Русские Рассказы" from me and made me lend her a Russian-English dictionary. sweatdrop

You're so lucky xD My friends aren't interested in languages at all, even though I do try to encourage them. One of them even has an outright aversion towards learning or discussing with me any language other than English... sweatdrop

Mine don't want to talk to me in English because they think my English is so much better than theirs mad (Is not! I just don't care as much about the mistakes I make as they do!)
But my two roommates and I are going to take a Japanese course together! biggrin (Although one of them probably doesn't need one ...)

... start to speak your native language with the accent of another language. (Well, I think this has been mentioned before. But. It scares me that Iuse to mix up R and L. Like the time when I said a sentence with alternating Rs and Ls because I thought it sounded more balanced, more poetic that way.)
