Yeah, very interesting! Thanks for the explanations. Yes, Pimsleur is Bokmål. I just assumed that Pimsleur was Nynorsk because it used the feminine article "ei" for EVERY feminine word. Maybe the Pimsleur Norwegian speakers were just feeling under the weather?? 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

It's not the first time a course is full of details (hey, the author just wants to be "helpful"!), and then we get a kind of standardized language with rules that are broken all the time by natives. :)

Hej allihopa!
Jag är klar med min första challenge. Jag tittade på nyheterna på svenska varje dag för en vecka. Jag vet inte om jag skulle rapportera det här på Vikingarnas thread, men det gör jag i alla fall. Har vi bestämt regler för challengerna? I’ve finished my first challenge. I watched the news in Swedish every day for a week. I don’t know whether I should report that here, on the Vikings’ thread, but I’m doing it anyway. Have we decided on the rules for the challenges? --- Corrections and suggestions are always welcome! Tack! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I've done the first challenge on the list, here it is:
Jag heter Cas och jag kommer från Holland. Jag är 23 år gammal och jag bor i Hoogkarspel med min flickvän. Jag gillar att spela guitar. I min fri tid lär jag mig svenska eftersom jag ska flytta till sverige i june 2013. Jag var intresserad i sverige när jag var 18 år gammal. Jag träffade min svensk flickvän när jag gick på semester till sverige förra året. Ett år senare och jag har planer att flytta till sverige och bor där för minst fem år. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Not completely sure where to post this challenge, but I think the Team Thread is the best place. Once someone corrected it we could keep 'score' on the WordPress website. We could make a Challange Ranking Page there and keep scores/ranks there? I posted this in my log, but i'm posting it here as well: I've still got this feeling that I should be focusing on speaking a bit more than I do at the moment. I have a native speaker in my house so it can't be that hard. I was thinking of choosing a topic, then learn some sentences about it etc. and just have a conversation about that with my gf. I was thinking about things like cooking/supermarket/weekend etc. and just learn everything I would need in those situations (ex: Should I cut this? Do we need ...? Do we have any ... at home? What have you done this weekend? etc.). If I would do 1 topic every 2/3 days, that would mean that I could be having full Swedish speaking days in maybe 3-4 weeks. Would anyone be interested in 'teaming up' and make lists of questions/answers/sentences/words for specific situations and maybe make Anki/Memrise lists of it? This doesn't necessarily have to be someone who's learning Swedish, we could create lists in English, and translate it to our own TL. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I hope I didn't overcorrect some parts. As always, I'll leave the final word to Jeff. Another alternative to "Jag blev intresserad av Sverige..." might have been "Jag har intresserat mig för Sverige sedan jag var 18". "när jag gick på semester" corresponds to something like "when I left for a holiday", and I assume you met her during your stay, rather than on your way to the airport. I could be wrong about this one. Neither am I entirely sure about the "Ett år senare och...". I'm used to seeing the construction in contexts like "a year later and I'm still at it", but here it doesn't seem to fit. P.S. I added the talk radio channels Radio1 and P1 to my list of media resources. EDIT1: Thanks, tarvos. That's a mistake I often make myself. EDIT2: Added the the final touches after Jeff's latest post.

Jag är intresserad av Sverige. Counterintuitive, but that is the preposition you use.

Good job, sans-serif! You just missed one expression: "min svenska flickvän". (Kez: adjectives take the definite form after possessive pronouns)
