So, I had my first Swedish lesson this evening, at 17:30 just after work. I am learning it with two of my colleagues, Amanda (an Australian) and Jeff (a Canadian). There are 20 of us in the class, most of them students at Chalmers from all over the world (USA, Japan, Germany, Latvia, Russia), but also a guy working for Volvo and a couple other international companies.
The first lesson went really well, and I'm champing at the bit for the next lesson. Of course, somewhere in the middle of the course I'm probably going to be cursing it and getting frustrated that I'm getting things wrong, but starting the lesson off with enthusiasm is always good.
Jag heter Alistair. Jag är inte gift, men jag har en flickvän. Jag jobber i göteborg på Lavasoft. Jag kommer från England och jag pratar englesk och lite svenska.
That's kind of the stuff we learnt in the first lesson, plus spelling our names. For those who are curious: My name is Alistair. I'm not married, but I have a girlfriend. I work in Gothenburg for Lavasoft. I come from England and I speak English and a little Swedish.
Simple huh? Well, for the first lesson, I guess so...
