When you're travelling in Finland and you go to the kids' room of any hotel you stay in to look for children's books in Swedish 😂
When your patience is rewarded and eventually you find an alphabet book with rhymes/poems in Finnish, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

More about this :))) When the dentist offers an option of watching a movie during the treatment, and you always bring movies in "weird" languages on USB sticks... until the dentist asks you for advice on learning English, and you recommend lyricstraining and memrise and all that jazz, and next time you decide to watch a movie in English for your dentist's language learning benefits :) 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||
