But Esperanto doesn't have any Viking sagas, so Icelandic and Faroese win a priori! ;)

But hey, it's not Esperanto's fault!

SUNDAY, 30 SEPTEMBER 2012
Well, I didn't manage to do nearly half as much during the weekend as I hoped for. I had great plans for studying Russian and Old English like a maniac, additionally reading some Old Norse texts and maybe even doing some basic Japanese, but it all turned out differently. Friday night, I couldn't get to sleep, so I was terribly tired all Saturday and I even had an awful headache. This naturally meant I couldn't concentrate on language learning at all. I read the first few pages of Colloquial Russian and my favourite passage from Brennu-Njáls saga, but I didn't do anything serious. As I slept well last night, I thought I could maybe do some real studying today, but somehow it didn't work out either. I spent the whole day surfing the Internet for this and that. The only thing one might count as a language learning experience was me writing a post in the Russian subforum. Don't know how much I butchered the language though. Well, I did learn some Old English declension patterns, so that's a success, but altogether it was a disappointing weekend. Fortunately, on Wednesday will be the German national holiday ("Tag der deutschen Einheit"), so I will hopefully be able to do some serious studying then. Generally speaking, the Colloquial course begins with a big repetition unit, so there isn't much new grammar to process anyway. The only difficulty is learning the new vocabulary, which is rather advanced. I really like my newly developed study plan though. I am learning some really fun languages at the moment! The perfect situation would be, if I could fit in some Gaelic, but I guess that would be the straw that broke the camel's back -- or I would have to kick out Japanese instead. Well, my credit card bill is high enough this month, so I won't buy any books for Gaelic right now. I'll simply go on with my study plan and keep Gaelic in the back of my mind for some other day. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Not much really. The only obvious mistake is за instead of для. Для мягкого знака, но не за. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks, Марк! I wasn't sure about that one, because in German there's just one word ("für") like in English ("for"). It's hard to know the difference between для and за, and my grammar book didn't help me any further. In fact, it even pointed me into the wrong direction. Now, I know better.
@prz_: You're right: It's not Esperanto's fault the Vikings spoke Old Norse, but Esperanto could damn well do something to catch up with Icelandic on that one! The great saga of the Zamenhofs or something like that. ;) But, to put it short: Esperanto just isn't my cup of tea. I simply don't like it and probably never will. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Josquin, hur mycket tid har du behövt för att lara dig svenska? Jag tror, om man kan
tyska eller hollandska, att man kan lära sig svenska mycket snart. Har du också sett det? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There is literature in Esperanto, although the language was not created for literature.

Jag lärde mig svenska i ett år på egen hand och sedan studerade jag den i två terminer på universitetet. Det är verkligen lätt att lära sig svenska om man redan talar tyska, holländska eller särskilt plattyska, men jag tycker att jag har glömt mycket sedan jag lämnat universitetet. Min grammatik är ännu ganska bra, men jag behöver tänka för att hitta de rätta orden. Jag har läst några böcker på svenska (t. ex. Johan Kling: Människor helt utan betydelse) och också tittat på filmer (t. ex. Så som i himmelen), men jag har aldrig mer studerat svenska sedan jag avslutat universitetet. Jag tycker svenska är ett vackert språk och jag skulle vilja resa till Sverige någon gång, särskilt till Stockholm, men jag tror att jag behöver förbättra min svenska förut. Min nivå är sannolikt någonstans mellan B2 och B1 för ögonblicket, eftersom jag inte tränat mina aktiva färdigheter sedan länge. Jag tycker att det är möjligt att komma på en bra nivå i svenska inom ett år när man börjar språket. Jag skulle förmodligen behöva några månader för att kunna tala flytande svenska igen.
