It appears there is an actual addiction to language learning … anyone want to confess to being an addict?

I feel totally vindicated by this article. Never again will I try to hide the fact that my idea of a perfect evening is sitting down with a new language course :slight_smile:

For those who don’t want treatment, there is:

http://forum.language-learners.org

and I suppose I could add:

http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/e/index.html

(except that regulars on the 2nd one have tended to move to the first one, since the owner of HTLAL has all but abandoned it).

Plus there is Benny’s website and forum (Fluent in 3 Months).

I don’t know if it’s propriate to put it here, but has anyone else got this from Memrise?

Here’s the link to the project as above is just screenshot from my email box. - Kickstarter

It sounds exciting …

I agree with you, Louis.
I am not a language addict. I never really enjoy the learning process and have never been good at it. My purpose has always been to make myself understood in this or that country!! The only exception is Cymraig, where my purpose was and is to know the real language of my own people!!

My name is Millie and I am a linguaholic!

I am definitely a language addict. I love learning languages, I love writing about them, researching their etymology, their history. Everything. I don’t just want to make myself understood, I want to live the language, to get inside it. I love exploring the grammar and comparing it to other grammar systems. I love translating too. Really, I haven’t found anything about languages that I am not interested in yet!
