Fun times with Swedish!
The Beginning of Wasa Wednesday!!!
As some of you may know, I am trying to learn Swedish... why? Well, I am not sure! It just sounds very funny to me so of course I have to try to learn it - it is a moral imperitive. (Learn English first maybe?)
My Swedish phrasebooks are next to useless though... In not ONE of them (I have 4) have I found the way to say "What is the word for," or "How do you say" and I think those are pretty useful when starting off in a new language.
I will start you off with a few of my favorite phrases and as I find more I intend to share them with you so we can learn together! Here are the phrases I have found that Berlitz seems to think will come in handy when traveling to Sweden;
Rokare eller icke-rokare? - Smoking or non-smoking?
Var kan jag fa tag pa butangas? - Where can I get some butane gas?
Hur ar pollenhalten? - What's the pollen count?
Ar min svenska sa dalig? - Is my Swedish that bad? (I should really memorize that one)
Ni har en konssjukdom - You have veneral disease.
Kan ni reparera den har tandprotesen? - Can you repair this denture?
Until Next time... just make a bork bork bork noise to practice. =D

I will look for the word "douche" in Swedish... There is serious worry in my family that I say that word so much that my nephew won't be able to be watched by me without taking in the word. "Mommy, Auntie Claire said you are a farking douche farktard" Then Claire ran the hell away!!! =) I spy a Canadian in our midst! HOORAY!!! Mapley goodness.
