I might be in for a Skype session in March. I'm on a mobile connection until then.

My first challenge (Will try to make them regularly)
Write five sentences introducing yourself
Jeg hedder Ana, og jeg er 31 år. Jeg kommer fra Brasilien, og jeg flyttede til Danmark
sidste år. Jeg har været gift i 2 år nu, og min mand er dansker. Jeg er fysioterapeut,
og jeg kan godt lide at passe børn. I min fritid elsker jeg at være sammen med mine
venner og min familie, og at læse bøger, aviser og magasiner.

I was also wondering, maybe we could organize a Skype chat soon? We don't
have to speak
our TL right away but maybe just speak English to get to know eachother and we could
always switch do a TL.

I would love to take part in the Skype session. I can understand some of the Swedish
and Norwegian I see written here, it would be fun to see how much I can understand when
they are spoken.
***I might take part in the 6 week challenge. Anything to help me to keep my discipline
is very welcome!

I've decided to not join the 6WC this month. I'm going to think about points I want to
start focusing more on (SPEAKING) and prepare myself for that and just train it as much
as possible. I'm going to Sweden for a small holiday with Easter, so I hope to be able
to speak a bit more then.

While taking part in 6WC, you can focus on logging as many speaking hours as possible. Stats are really nice, and I like to set my private goals. Just saying :). It would be nice to have more Vikings taking part in 6WC with Swedish.

I'll be joining next 6WC, too busy at the moment and have to prepare more stuff to get
myself speaking :)
Mini Viking-Challenge #11 Your Scandinavian pen friend has written to ask you what
you want to do on your next visit to Scandinavian. Type a response with the main body
of the note being no less than six sentences. Time yourself. How long did it take you
to type your note?
Hej!
Jag hoppas att jag kan åka i maj men jag har ingen aning vad jag vill göra när jag är
där. Jag vill träffa dig och party, förstås, och jag vill också träffa din familj och
vänner. Det skulle också vara jättebra om jag kan snowboarden, kanske att vi kan åka
till Åre? Jag har hört så mycket om Åre att jag måste åka där! Och om vi har tid,
kanske att vi kan besöka några vänner i Götebörg och sover där? Jag kan inte vänta att
se du igen!

Jag vill träffa dig och party/festa, förstås, och jag vill också träffa din familj och dina vänner. ('party' is a noun in Swedish, a synonym is 'fest', and 'festa' is the verb; don't forget that possessive pronouns change according to number - 'dina' for plural)
Det skulle också vara jättebra om jag (kan snowboarden)/kan åka snowboard/kan ta med snowboarden(?), kanske att vi kan åka till Åre? (unnatural expression)
Jag har hört så mycket om Åre att jag måste åka (där)/dit! ('där' is location, 'dit' is direction)
Och om vi har tid, kanske att vi kan besöka några vänner i Götebörg och (sover)/sova där? (infinivite: kan...... besöka..... sova)
Jag kan inte vänta att se (du)/dig igen! (object pronoun - the whole expression sounds odd, though, but at the moment I don't have any better suggestion)
