Engelska
Today I’m wearing a white shirt and black sweater. I have on an old pair of jeans. I like them. They are comfy. I have on purple shoes. They are new. It is cold today and snows a little. I have a black jacket and striped scarf.

Isn’t my writing interesting? ha ha (Jag skrattar.)

The end goal of being fluent in a particular language is to be able to converse easily, read books, and preferably, to think in that language without translating every word. Right now, when I recognize a word in Swedish, my mind wanders down a path:

ett frimärke > ok, I know this one > STAMP! that’s it! a stamp >

Occasionally, this is shortened a bit and, luckily, a few phrases have sunk in so that I don’t have to think, “Tack .. tack means thank you.” The biggest problem with translating, is the pause during which the brain has to sort through its stored information and return the correct meaning to you. This is when you can easily to miss the rest of the sentence and miss something key to comprehending what is being said. So how do you get from translation to fluency?

Before fluency comes memorization.
Initially, it is necessary to memorize words and their meanings. Later, one must memorize conjugations in the case of verbs and for nouns, their gender. So, how do you memorize? Read the rest of this entry »

Svenska :: svensk musik?
Jag vill skriver musiken och spelar in på skiva. Jag har inspirerade på And One. Jag älskar electronisk musik och vill skriver samman genren. Jag undrar om jag kan skriva i svensk. Min pojkvän hade samman aning och sade sedermera att jag ska skriva i svensk. Ni tänker lika ofta.

Engelska :: This is way more detailed that I was able to get across above.
Seeing And One yesterday inspired me. One of my goals is to record an original piece of music. Because I love synthpop and electronic, that is the genre I wish to emmulate. Hopefully, it won’t be so bad that it will seem disrespectful to the genre. Anyway, since And One sings in German, I had the thought to write my own lyrics in Swedish. As I was thinking this, min pojkvän tapped me on the shoulder and said, “You should write music in Swedish!” It is scary how often we think alike.
