You know you're a language nerd when…

[Cavesa]

...when one of your students asks you if "you're A2 in the language of bees yet?"

Shouldn't they be asking about B1 and B2? A2 seems rather pointless.
imagine the CV: Bee B2.
(also sounds like the name of the next Star Wars droid)

And be glad they're not asking about the language of the sea. Anything but C1 or C2 just wouldn't do.
(sounds like that's the Aquaman's superpower. Sea C2)

Well, @reineke speaks Fox. I personally speak A2 Wolf from watching so much Teen Wolf and supernatural teen romance.

When you see people joking about pretending to learn !Xóõ and then you spend an hour looking for !Xóõ resources.

I'm Deinonysus and it's been 0 days since I suffered a Wanderlust attack.

You create the best passwords without intention, due to not remembering to check which language your keyboard layout is currently set to, then having to go back and type what you thought was your password 4 to 5 times, until you find which language your keyboard was set to at that time in order to decipher what your password has now ended up as.

You can't learn a language from TV alone!!

You know what grammatical judgement tests are and worse, you start failing them in your own language.

...when you're writing shorter and shorter week summaries and you still get a few likes.

...when some of your fellow members write longer and longer posts, and you keep reading them (and give them a few likes in return).

... You're pacing the hallway in front of your dorm room reciting Chaucer in ME, oblivious to the strange looks people give you.
... When you finally notice the reactions and think "Really guys, are you so oblivious you can't recognize "Whan that April..." when you hear it? Can you really not just follow what I'm saying? It's not that different.

[Bilingual_monoglot]

When you are constantly switching to Chinese to the point where you use it almost as much as your heritage language

When you have specialised greetings for your friends based on their linguistic repertoires (Selamat Morgen, kumusta amigo saya)

When your music playlist contains songs in 10 languages, 3 of which you don't know, none which are entirely in English.

You have friends?! You're clearly not a real language nerd! (I actually do that too, it's quite fun.)

.... When you instinctively say either salut, or more occasionally привіт to everyone, despite being in a monolingual anglophone environment.

.... When, just from writing one word in French, you instinctively switch to French for the rest of the sentence.
