I spent 10 days in Finland and it was great for my Swedish :) I watched Sweden-Argentina on TV, I bought a ticket Kotka-Dickursby using the Swedish interface of the ticket machine (I almost freaked out when I realized I had to use the Swedish name of the station... even though I know it very well :D). I had some other random exposure.
I'm also still reading tweets in Norwegian and understanding them well:) It's been less good with my most important Scandinavian language :D Probably because I'm still avoiding to read it if I have no audio. So I've only read a few labels in it in Finland :) It's about a month before the league restarts (if I even manage to watch Aalborg's matches in Danish), and right now I'm focusing more on other languages. I'm hoping to watch Pocahontas in Danish this week though (dubbed, with Croatian subtitles). then some other cartoons this month:) Edited by Serpent on 12 February 2013 at 11:08pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Finally I had some time and I decided to do a few challenges from the list. Here is one of them:
Challenge 4- description of your city Beskrivelse av Gdynia Jeg bor i Gdynia som ligger i Nord Polen. Gdynia er en ganske stor by, det er faktisk en av de største byene i Polen sammen med Sopot og Gdańsk som ligger i nærmeste min byen. Derfor er Gdynia et fantastisk sted for å slappe av eller beyundre. Dessuten, Gdynia er de ungste polske byer. Her ligger en havn - døra til Polen og Gdynias symbol. I Gdynia er det mange butikker og kjøpesenter, for eksempel Klif som er veldig kjent mellom menneskene fra min byen. Det er veldig vikte å se Świętojańska gaten fordi denne er hovedgaten i Gdynia. Det er klart at dette sted er sentrum av Gdynia. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I put an update on my log so I won't bore you with those details .. However, I will say that I still haven't lost any interest in Norwegian which is a major victory for me!!! Despite getting killed at work and being taken out of action by the flu, I am still powering through the Assimil course. I'm up to Leksjon 46 of the Passive wave. The funny thing about Assimil is that I don't feel like I'm learning or retaining anything ... but then I'll listen to a lesson 10 or 15 units back and it will be perfectly clear! Hopefully this will continue as the lessons get harder. Every morning when I get up I look through the NRK and Aftenpost headlines to see how much I can understand. 2 weeks ago it seemed like it was ZERO, but now I feel like I can pick out quite a bit! I definitely need to get speaking more. I just realized that this weekend I'm on call so I might miss this Skype session as well... but I'll see how the weekend goes. Still loving Norwegian!!! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I am leaving the country tomorrow, and will not be back until next Sunday, and I do not know whether I will
have an Internet connection, nor how much available time I will have, so I am afraid I will miss the next Skype session as well. I wish you lots of success though. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Good to hear/see that we still have may active people :D Past days have been very busy
for me and this will stay like this for a week so I'm not able to do much Swedish at the moment. But i'm going to try and get around 150-200 pages of reading done in 2 days ( I did 65 yesterday so that means I should read 90 today). I'll make a log update soon about what it is i'm doing at the moment. And the Skype session, this sunday @ 3. Who's going to be there? We were planning on doing a nice introduction in your TL and try to speak some more. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Haha, it doesn't mean that you're the slowest reader on the team mate. It just means that I am able to spend quite some hours on it since I have now switched to a 3-day work week ;) Btw, since I'm planning on doing this whole "I want to speak more" thing, I was wondering if there was someone who wants to do a 'Tandem' thing with me, and maybe plan 2-3 more 1 on 1 Skype sessions every week. I was thinking about maybe choosing 1 subject every week and just chat about it in Swedish. Anyone interested? 1 person has voted this message useful |
