Language enthusiasts

"I'm a language enthusiast" he announced to the beautiful lady who until had appeared quite interested...

Point? Don't reveal that gerunds interest you more than soccer goals?

Don't have hobbies. This is a very male thing and frankly we've been doing it far too long already.

so the 'malething' to do is write random stuff?

We all have to keep it a secret that we're antimoon language enthusiasts....I mean, you don't want people to think we're nerds, do you?

Nerds, are we nerds. Oh, no! Maybe that's why I have no friends.

Am I opening a can of worms here? Ok, I'll shut up.

What's wrong with liking languages? At least it can be a useful hobby unlike stamp collecting, watching sport, ....

I think the only real point I was making was about the word "enthusiast".

What's the thread here in ?!

Sima, After reading all posts what I have understood so far and it says that the thread name could be a little bit mixture of 'hobby, nerd, enthusiast, and language'.

I hope it helps.

Yes! let's change the topic then heheheh

if I say ´I´m a language enthusiast´ I´ll certainly get strange looks.
hm... there is a point here. Simon, go on.

I don't know. Chicks usually seem impressed if you can tell where they are from by the way they talk, especially if you lie and say it's because you travel a lot rather than because you're a language nerd.

Yeah, I have always found that when you tell people you are conversational in three or four languages, they are always impressed. And generally, students always think it is so cool that I am a French major. As for older adults (and some younger ones too), they often times say something to my face bad about the French.
