foreigner speaking swedish
hey swetas
been here in sweden for two months already!
lots of fun here...except at the systembolaget
but i was wondering, since everyone can speak english here, how would you feel if someone spoke swedish to you even though it was crappy as hell?
jag har svenska examen om tva vecka...bajs
need to practice!
I think it's allright... I meen we're pretty used to it since we have alot of immigrants in Sweden... but since so many understand English even though some people can't speak it really well I belive you can use the English language.
If you want some help just let us know 
I wouldn't have anything against it. 
If it gets too hard just switch over to english for a while, then try again...
Systembolaget is okay once you're 20..

as i've experienced it people are FAR more friendly and open to you when you speak their native language altough most of the Swedes have no problems at all with the English language

yea it sucks.... but then again you only have 1 form for every person.
I am / Jag �r
He is / Han �r
We are / Vi �r
I have / Jag har
He has / Han har
We have / Vi har

kan tr�sta dig med att jag kan v�rldens sv�raste spr�k: pashto.
�r glad att mamma l�rde mig svenska redan som liten...skulle k�nas fel att inte veta n�got om henes backgrund eller spr�k n�r man inte har samma "native" spr�k som n�gon av sina f�r�ldrar.. blev konstigt det h�r tror jag
svenskan �r lite tricky ibland att l�ra

you have to press shift for the " otherwise you get ' which results in a French accent � .. it's the quote key near the Enter/Return button.
anyway... i stil don't know the difference between hans/sin
I know why they have different forms (hans/hennes/deras and sin/sitt/sina) .. but the difference between the words is described VERY vaguely in the books I read.
It has something to do with possession but it's stil unclear to me..
Our textbook teaches us some weird phrases....=/
For example :
A: hur ar laget?
b: underkontrol!
i said that to my swedish friend and she said dont ever say that
(guess they teach us some dorky phrases in there)
these days they only say: l�get?
literally it means: what's the position?
under kontrol means under control.. but I never heard that as answer to l�get either.
officially it should be hur �r l�get btw, you may hear it ocassionally

I've never heard " under control" as an answer on that either, although I've heard swedish ppl saying "hur �r l�get" as in "how ya doin" ....
I guess you have to be living there to pick up all these phrases ppl normally are using in their daily life
