HEJ!

Good luck with your Swedish studies. We are only ten million who speak Swedish, so we warmly welcome you to the group.

Swedish is a Germanic language and closely related to the other Nordic languages: Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese, but also related to languages such as English, German, and Dutch. If you can read Swedish, you can also read Norwegian and Danish, understand certain words in Icelandic and Faroese, and see the similarities with certain words in English and German.

I want to thank you for a very fine and beautiful blog that brings me joy every Sunday!

Allt gott!

Saying “good morning”, apparently randomly in London??! You are viewed with horror and as a freak. I do this DELIBERATELY in our office lift on arriving in the morning: the cheeriest “good morning” and a broad grin. I work with a lot of actuaries. They look traumatised by the time of my exit on the fifth floor.
