Den Svensk Tråd

you mean Israeli ambasse in Sweden...
I can't work in Sweden's ambasse in Israel since I'm not a Swedish citizen.
I don't really want go into politics because power will corrupt me and I don't respond well to cold weather so I don't really want to live in Sweden(just travel a little)...I can try to get a job at the foreign office here as a translator or something but they'll probably ask for an academic degree in a foreign language and I have none...I'm studying for an engineering degree...
I could go for another 3 years to study french on an academic level but that would be for me 3 years of wasted time during which I could work fulltime as an engineer making a shitload of money and finally paying off my huge debts and loans and moving out of my parents' appartment.

Why not learn German then? The south of germany has nice weather most of the time.

The only language you need to steer away from is flemmish..... Dont even go near it.

 

[paradoxile]

as far as I know flemmish is a variation of dutch...well the only place I would need flemmish is non-french parts of belgium...where I could just use standard dutch or english.

funny thing...when I was in belgium 3.5 years ago I ordered beer in a bar in french in a province that spoke flemmish...the locals gave me a crooked look...
from the few days I was in belgium I gathered people there aren't very nice to foreigners, while in the Netherlands I met the nicest and warmest people ever...except the whole bicycles stealing thing in amsterdam but I don't ride a bike anyway

as for german...I never really liked it...it's both complicated and kind of cold(Unicorn is going to kill me)...but it is handy, maybe someday.
after swedish and dutch I think I'll concentrate on easier languages (Italian and Spanish)

Seems your swedish is going forward even when the studies are done in the Swanö forum

 

[paradoxile]

I read articles in swedish sites...trying to make swedish more intuitive
I'm going to be one of the few people in israel who speaks swedish...I feel so special...

You are wierd guy lol, you find dutch easy and german hard? German at first is pretty hard but they dont have allot "Double" words like dutch and english has. German is pretty easy to master, but that first few weeks of learning it can turn people away from it, same with danish actually.

And italian is pretty goddamn hard and useless seeing its only spoken near italy, Spanish is nice and great for the lady's haha.

And trust me flemmish is entire diffrent language i need subtitels or else i cant understand most of it, in holland almost every city has an entire different accent, some like frisian is almost entirely different.

And you should go to belgium near carnaval, its crazy.

 

[paradoxile]

I'm learning languages by association with stuff I already know...maybe after mastering swedish,german won't look that hard...as for Danish it's fairly similar to swedish so I can understand written material by associating with something that looks similar in swedish...same thing with norsk and I usually get it right...the problem with danish is that it sounds like speaking swedish with a hot potato in your mouth(old joke)...

I don't know...maybe Italian is hard but not for me and I consider italian more romantic than spanish...i never associate spanish with julio iglesias...spanish for me is the ultimate language for soap operas and the new wave of teen soap operas...the most non romantic thing ever.
as for flemmish I'll take your word on this but still the national languages of Belgium are French, Standard Dutch and German...so if I speak dutch in belgium I should be understood or maybe it's like the difference between russian and ukrainian...

I'm really impressed with how fast you're learning, and when i thought i had been a fast learner !

I can only advice you to read Nemi (if you don't know it already), the comic is available everyday on the DN page, link : http://www.dn.se/content/1/c6/52/61/17/nemiframe.html
Helped me a lot to get vocabulary

 

[paradoxile]

Thanks a lot Sarah

Att ingen har nämnt Hipp Hipps "Svenska för nybörjare"
Hipp Hipp är ett svenskt humorprogram, som i "Svensk för nybörjare" gör parodier på svenskastudier.

Hipp Hipp is a swedish humorshow that in mentioned segment makes fun of swedish studies.

Det verkar som om det går bra för dig.
