Sad to say, my swedish is still not very good. There have been some improvements but I won’t say that i can hold a decent conversation in Swedish. I think the Swedes are most kind. They will readily switch to English once they see my ‘blank’ blur look.
So, I have asked Nichlas to speak swedish to me at home. The thing is I have been tuning out everytime he speaks in Swedish for the past 7 years. (ok…maybe when he speak english also =) So, it is extremely difficult to tune in again and pay attention to what he is saying. Anyway, we keep going back to English every time we speak.
Most of my classmates from my Swedish class have to find opportunities to practice speaking in Swedish. My teacher says that I have no excuse since min man (my husband) is Swede.
I was told that Linn is already speaking Swedish with a Stockholm accent. My accent, the Swedes can tell is a foreigner trying to speak swedish.
So until next tme…Hej Då! Have a great weekend and for all my Singaporean friends…choose wisely on Elections Day tomorrow.
