Back to work today. This day last year I began norwegian lessons and now I'm fluent enough to function in norwegian society (well, in my own funny little British way) and have a job. I'm pretty proud. I don't actually like speaking norwegian and spoke very little over the christmas holidays (which suits me just fine) so today was pretty difficult to switch the norwegian back on, especially when we attended a course today which was conducted entirely in Swedish! My colleagues thought it was hilarious that I understood barely 5% and luckily my boss told me to go home early as she realised the whole thing was pretty pointless for me! Oh, how my life has changed.....
You should be very proud!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
you make me smile ,wishing you a great 2012
ReplyDeleteWatch more Swedish crimes, then you're comprehension will increase to at least 10%. How's your understanding of Danish? Mine is not good, which made delivering Lasse to an old Danish gynecologist not the most pleasant experience. Keep up the good work, Lisa.
ReplyDeletethat's hilarious. just got to grips with norwegian and they throw swedish at you!
