Does anyone speak a second or third language here, besides english or your native tongue?? ... or is anyone currently learning one at the moment?? Right now, people probably know already, I've been learning Swedish since April 2008, so I've been self-studying it casually for a good 3 years or so. It's really difficult, but I've used a lot of books and watched a lot of Swedish television to be able to get familiar with the tones and they way it's spoken. Linda sent me a couple of books for my birthday a few weeks ago, one of which is a story book written in Swedish, and I'm sort of working my way through that. Understanding rapid speech without the use of subtitles however, is very hard indeed. The good thing with me learning Swedish, is that I'm also familiarising myself with Norwegian and Danish because they somewhat sound very familiar, except there are some pronounciation differences thrown in. I've been told by Swedes that Danes sound like "people with a potato stuck down their throat". ... ...so yeah! Anyone got a "third" speaking language besides English or their native langauge?? Are you like Phillipe Senderos, who speaks "English, Italian, French, Spanish, German and Serbian" ... my god I wish I could speak that many!
