Answer for question 4326.

[kseenaa]

[Error: unknown template qotd]I speak swedish fluently, obviously. :-) Since it's my mother tongue.

And I speak english almost fluently, it's something you learn in school in Sweden from a very early age in school. I think 11 years old? And well, since I lived in the US for a year a long time ago and then kept it up online and when working with people. It's just words of various professions I get stuck on and sometimes I draw a blank on a word. But more or less fluently. And I LOVE speaking english! I really really do, so I jump at the chance as soon as it presents itself.

What other language would I like to learn... Hmm...

I did try on spanish for a while there, just to get the grade so I could get into University. But I can't speak it. I do think it sounds REALLY cool though, so that would be one language I'd love to learn.

Another one would be german for the simple reason it is so damn frustrating to not understand some of the interviews Tokio Hotel gives. So I'm an old fangirl, just live with it. *lol*

I think most Scandinavians actually learn English from an early age, which is awesome! I had English from the age 10, but now you have it from the age of 7 here in Denmark.

I had German from age 13-15 and I sucked so I chose another language for High School and I picked Italian and I just couldn't grasp it. But funny thing is that I can actually understand German very well, I just can't speak it XD

I think you learn it earlier in swedish schools now to. Not sure from when though... I know when I learned it it was from age 11. :-) Even though I've worked in several school-libraries, I am not sure when they start with english really. X-D

I did try german when I was 13, but I couldn't grasp it, so... I stopped trying and concentrated on english. Which I have always had a knack for. :-)

I guess the most important thing is that kids learn it :P

English is better anyways XD I think I just understand German better after I became a TH fan since I then had an interest in the language. My #1 wish is to learn how to speak and write it XD

German is a bit cool to, yeah... Although it sounds so... rough? I guess it's all the WWII movies and the bad history there that has me feel like that. After being a TH-fan though, I find the language has softened in my ears? Am I even making sense with that?

[mariesen.livejournal.com]

It can sound very harsh, especially if you meet an angry person who speaks German XD

And yes it makes sense. TH was what made me interested in German again, because it suddenly sounded different :D

English is a hard language to learn! But then any language is good to learn from a younger child.

I'm going to do this Writer's Block.

From what I've heard from refugees that flee and make a life in Sweden, apparently swedish is the hardest language they've ever tried to learn. :-) And many of them refugees have university level grades from their home countries!

I noticed something about the coding here. Are you seeing those numbers on the sidebar?

If you would like to fix them you would need to add this line
list-style-type: none;

to the .sbarbody coding area.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Using Chrome and not seeing any numbers on the sidebar. :-) I'll add the code anyway.

[sireesanwar.livejournal.com]

Oh I could see it in FireFox.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Mysterious! I guess it's a Firefox thing then? At least now you know it doesn't show in Chrome. :-)

Same goes at my school in canada when I was a kid, we do learn english at a pretty young age, I started earlier than the average at the age of 5, kids in general formation start at the age of 10 but then I got lucky to have a bilingual babysitter back then,not counting on my mom who speaks both english and french, currently learning a third language during college.
