I am still reluctant to correct anyone unless I am specifically asked to, but I am perfectly willing to do so if
anyone has some challenges written in Norwegian that they would like to have corrected. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I made a few embarrassing mistakes such as "min hus" when I was sure I knew the right gender, but it's been a while since I wrote in Swedish and I was never very good when I was writing it. Now I know some things to work on. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Just in case my corrections made your text unclear, here's a cleaner version:
Fem minuter med två ordböcker och en ordlista. (Hmm, at second thought, what's the difference between an "ordbok" and an "ordlista"? Were you referring to a "vocabulary list"?) Idag har jag varit upptagen. Mitt hus var en röra, eftersom jag hade känt mig ganska bekväm under hela helgen. (Another second thought, what do you mean by "bekväm" - comfortable? The sentence doesn't really make sense.) Jag ville inte göra någonting /förutom att lyssna på radio och läsa några böcker. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Corrections: Hej, det är mycket svårt att skriva på svenska utan någon ordbok, men jag kommer att försöka. (gender) Jag (är)/heter Julie, kommer från Polen och bor i Poznan. (choice of words - I'd say "heter") Jag talar engelska och tyska flytande, och franska ganska bra. (spelling) Jag skulle vilja läsa norska och danska en gång till/en annan gång. (spelling;unnatural expression - have you already studied Danish/Norwegian and want to do it "again", or have you not, but want to it "some other time"? If "some other time", say "en annan gång" or "någon annan gång"). När jag läser svenska, använder jag mycket/många/flera böcker. (several options, "mycket" isn't the best word to use here, though) Jag har Assimil (på franska) och några böcker på polska. (spelling, don't use "ä" instead of "å") Jag går på en kurs på universitetet/läser en kurs på universitet. (spelling;another phrasing) Igår läste jag en sida (från)/ur/i "Mästerdetektiven Blomkvist" på svenska. (preposition - I'd say "ur" or "i";spelling/definite ending) Jag måste använda en ordbok hela tiden, men jag gillade att läsa (på svenska) en bok, som inte är en kursbok! ("på svenska" makes the sentence sound awkward;word order - in subordinate/relative clauses, "inte" should come before the finite verb) Det är inte mycket/så svårt att läsa när man har mycket tid och man kan använda ordböcker och tänker/tänka mycket. (choice of words;tense - it depends on if you mean "can use dictionaries" and "(can) think", or "can use dictionaries" and "think". No big difference, though.) Men det är inte lätt att förstå svenska på radio och på teve. (spelling) Jag hoppas att det kan ändras! (choice of words; "byta" is active and somewhat transitive - you change (something)/(someone), while "ändras" is passive (cf. "verändern" and "sich verändern")). Hope this helps!

Jeff_lindqvist, thank you so much! It helped a lot.
About Norwegian and Danish: I wanted to say "sometime in the future". å/ä - in my defense ;), I have to say it was my first (and last, so far) text written in Swedish with the use of a computer. And I was under the time pressure, deprived of the right to re-read the whole thing. ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Do not worry. The point of this was to show where you are right now so that in a year from now you can compare and see your progress. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

There are three words for dictionary: "lexikon", "ordbok" and "ordlista" - the last is confusing since we also use it for "vocabulary list" (e.g. before/after each lesson in a textbook, or a complete list of all the lessons at the end of the book. It can mean ten new words for lesson 1, a total of 2000 words or even a complete dictionary and all are called "ordlista".)
Alright, then "lazy" is best word if you want to describe a person who... "wants to feel comfortable". A sentence like "Han är verkligen bekväm" could mean something like "He's really lazy". Maybe other natives judge "Han är verkligen lat" differently. I'm not sure I would, though. While "lazy" can be translated into "bekväm", to make sure that the meaning is kept, I'd add "av sig". ("vara bekväm av sig" ~ "to be lazy"), and only use it for other persons than myself or ourselves (change the pronoun accordingly: dig, sig, er, sig). 1 person has voted this message useful |
