We language lovers need to stick together, because once the language bug bites, nobody understands your struggles (or your triumphs!) quite like the language-learning community. Here are 10 situations that only your language loving friends will truly understand. Have you experienced any of these situations?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. When you procrastinate studying a language\u2026 by studying another one.<\/strong>
\nBecause there’s no rest for the wicked, or for the language lovers.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"1_procrastinate\"<\/a>
\n2. When you encounter people having a conversation in a foreign language, you stalk them covertly until you can figure out what it is.<\/strong>
\nYou’re not doing anything wrong… unless you get caught.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"2_stalking\"<\/a>
\n3. When people discover you speak another language and they ask you to \u201cjust say something\u201d.<\/strong>
\nLove it or hate it, you better think of something clever to teach these people.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"3_saysomething\"<\/a>
\n4. When you’ve spent so long studying languages that you can no longer recall a word in your native language.<\/strong>
\nBetter start carrying around a pocket dictionary… in your native language.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"4_forget\"<\/a>
\n5. When someone asks you why you\u2019re learning that<\/em> language, as if it\u2019s impossible just to learn a language for fun.<\/strong>
\nTired of the language haters? Send them this<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"5_fun\"<\/a>
\n6. When someone uses the \u201ceveryone speaks English\u201d argument.<\/strong>
\nThere will never be enough hands to\u00a0perform an adequate facepalm in response to that statement.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"6_english\"<\/a>
\n7. When people talk about you in a foreign language assuming you don\u2019t speak it\u2026 but you do.<\/em><\/strong>
\nYou know what they say about people who assume…<\/em><\/p>\n

\"7_nailedit\"<\/a>
\n8. When you begin parler en multiple idiomas at the same tiempo.<\/strong>
\nLearning sign language may come in handy for those times when your tongue is too twisted.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"8_twolangs\"<\/a>
\n9. When you recognize all of the individual words in the sentence you\u2019re reading, but put together they make no sense.<\/strong>
\nWhatever you do, do NOT rely on Google Translate in these situations.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"9_words\"<\/a>
\n10. When all you can think about is which language you\u2019ll learn next, even though you can\u2019t keep up with the languages you’ve already learned.<\/strong>
\nBecause really, once you pop, the fun don’t stop!<\/em><\/p>\n
