That awesome feeling you get when...

Don't you love that awesome feeling you get when you're studying a language, and then when you're practicing, you realize that you know a lot more than you thought? This happened to me earlier tonight when I was studying French (my 4th language), I was studying then started listening to recorded dialouges, and I could actually understand a good bit of what the speaker was saying. I love this rush, it happened at about 1am tonight and I've been up for about 2 hours because I'm just so happy! I love pulling all-nighters for language study, so much fun!!

Have you ever had one of those moments when you were surprised to find out exactly how much you knew?

Not this, but there was a very exciting moment when I figured out that a particular word was a name in Arabic. Word Champ didn't have a translation and the article was written in abjad. After reviewing long vowels from my book, I realised the name was ElBaradei! (I was reading stuff on the Egyptian protests at the time.)

Yes! =D love it. It happened to me earlier this week when I was reading a menu at a french restaurant, and could completely understand the menu. The rest of my family had to ask me what stuff meant xD

Oh, does it ever feel awesome. So, after a 6- year gap, I went to Goethe-Institut in my city and took an evaluation exam. And I was assigned to level B2, exactly where I left off! I thought I had forgotten so much...
