Hey everyone,

I don't know if it has already been mentioned but anyway it deserves a topic for sure. So I would like to share this fantastic website called FML (f**k My Life) which exists also in French (Vie de Merde), Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish and Italian. Originally it was a French website which defines itself as "a recollection of everyday anecdotes likely to happen to anyone". Everyday short stories are submitted by users and are later published. Each story must begin by "Today", end by "FML", tell about misfortune of daily life and obviously be humorous. The website became successful very quickly in France (one of the most visited) that's why they decided to create English version and then other foreign language versions.

I think it is a fantastic way to improve foreign languages or at least to learn new vocabulary (mainly everyday language is used) and to have fun as well. I personally use it for both English and Swedish and it turns out to be quiet effective to increase my amount of vocabulary and steadily became a daily routine. Are some of you using this website ?

English version : http://www.fmylife.com/
French version : http://www.viedemerde.fr/
Spanish version : http://www.vayamierdadevida.com/
Brasilian version : http://vidademerda.com.br/
Italian version : http://www.vitadimerda.it/
Swedish version : http://www.vitadimerda.it/

                             Enjoy!

The link to the French version didn't work - here it is:

viedemerde

I'll enjoy reading these - multilingual vulgarity and grumbling can be a good thing!
