THINGS THAT MOST LINGUAPHILES MAY DO

1. COLLECT LANGUAGE DICTIONARIES AND BOOKS

I am pretty sure that this is true for almost every linguaphile. We enjoy that sensation of having a  dictionary and books of every language you're learning or you want to learn. Obviously dictionaries may be necessary for most of the people that learn a language but there is something else in having language dictionaries, something rather than just having them as aids.

2. SAVE EVERY SINGLE BROCHURE, MAP, TICKET OR GUIDE BOOK IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE

So whenever you go to a touristic place in another country or even in your own country and they have any sort of literature in another language. If  you're linguaphile you've got to have it and save it, Just because, maybe you'll read it later or you'll just store it. If the printed matter is in a language you haven't learn but you'd like to learn it someday in the future, you'll keep it so you'll be able to understand it when you learn the language.

3. DREAM IN LANGUAGES

Whether if you speak Spanish, English, French or any language  as your mother tongue  and you have studied a foreign language for a long time. It's really sure you have dreamt in another language. And if you are a lucid dreamer you may realise that you're speaking properly even in your dreams. That's something that probably makes you feel good.

4. TALKING TO YOURSELF IN YOUR LANGUAGES

If your alone or at least you're sure nobody can hear you and you're bored or doing nothing for sure you have at least once talked to yourself. You may have made a monologue, thinking out loud or maybe narrating what you're doing. And if you speak fluently while being alone that is probably the best sensation in that moment.

5. TRANSLATING SONGS

At this point I'm pretty sure that most of linguaphiles have done this or at least the young ones. So we all like music but what if you find yourselves translating songs into other languages and singing them, that's pretty funny and clever. But the best thing is when you get the perfect translation and it matches the song tune.

6. BOOKMAKING, SEARCHING, READING AND WATCHING MEDIA IN OTHER LANGUAGES.

Let's admit it, regardless of how useful  it is for learning to be exposed to media in other languages, having things you consider very useful or maybe not feels good, it feels good o have pages that are about things you like and in other languages. You bookmark everything, you download everything, it's pretty normal.

7. USING YOUR LANGUAGES WHEN YOU DON'T NEED TO

So no matter if none will understand you have to say it or write it  in another language, just because you want to practice or just because. You have to leave a note for someone, you write it in French. You want to look for information on internet, you search in Italian. You want to write a blog and you speak Spanish, you do it in English. You want to tweet something unique, you do it in Russian. You want to change your what's app state, you do it in Japanese. Sometimes people who don't speak other languages do it too, like when getting a tattoo.

8. SHOW OFF

As simple as this, we have all at least once or a little bit showed off our languages. Or well we just simply show that we speak another language.

All this is normal and it's good 'cause it's part of you.
