Mission aborted. My May challenge suddenly burst into flames, and when I tried to smother it with a sock monkey, it exploded. Then the cat ate it.

That's the first clip I saw - wasn't it Solfrid who posted that back in November 2012?

Technically tomorrow, Sunday, is the last day to start the May 7-day-consistency challenge. As in the previous months, I’m not going to disqualify someone if they end a couple of days late.

By the way, I always offer this flexible deadline, but I think nobody actually ever used it (apart from those joining the team late, for obvious reasons). So it seems that not being strict with the deadlines doesn’t really change the outcome of the challenges, which is a good thing, I believe.

I'm going to use it this time. I've been stressed enough to put this into my twitter bio, and the most I've managed so far was 4 days of Swedish and 3 days of Danish.
At least I'm going to finish my small Norwegian goal on time :D Just one day left.

In Danish, I've gone through the whole chapter now (HP4, ch27) and I'll be working with smaller segments of the audio now.

Apparently it was kanewai who posted the link in the Funny polyglots thread on the 5th of November 2012 (the day that changed my life!).

Does anyone know any good "graded reader" for Swedish? I've found a lot of A2-B1 books for
German (with audio!), and I was looking for something like that for Swedish as well.

I think your best bet are parallel texts or interlinear books. (this site was advertised on htlal some time ago, but the post was deleted)
Consider the Moomin stories for example. I've been reading them in Italian hehe ;)
