South Korean-North Korean translator

Talking about languages, it was the same but somewhere it changed.
For me this reminds me a bit when Finnish people speak Finnish-Swedish.
The two Koreas has changed a lot over the years.
This already came out last year, I had no idea but I believe this is a big help for the N.Koreans who end up in S.Korea!

Technology rules ^^

Children sure can!

Have you seen this?? 4-year-old Bella from Moscow speaks Russian, English, German, Spanish, French, Chinese and Arabic!
I guess you should start early and children sure can learn a lot!!
One step at the time, so cool!!

Asian language pronunciation Part 2

I posted the first video a few weeks ago.
Here's the second one. It's hilarious!

Japanese is the cutest no?

Take a look at this.. the English vs Korean vs Japanese pronunciation of words.
It's hilarious!

Japanese is so cute..hahahah

Give it a go

When I came to the office the other day i found this.

My colleague had borrowed it from the library for me.

I'm gonna give it a go and see what happens.

This is a children's book in Finnish and it comes with a cd, so I can follow the text while listening.

Sooner or later I should be able to be able to at least pick up something... I hope ^^;;

Time to study

One of my supervisors stopped by my office yesterday and gifted me with this book!

She had been out shopping with her daughter and found this and thought of me ^^

It's filled with Finnish words, and English translation.

So now I can study some Finnish.

The illustrations are really cute, I'm so blessed to have so nice colleagues at work!!

I think I will look at the pictures though..haha

Awesome book!

My colleague brought yet another fun FINNISH children's book to work!

Take a look at this, it's called Tatu ja Patu pihalla. I also found some books in the same series in Swedish and English! It's almost like you want them ^^

This got to be the LOOOOOOONGEST word I have ever seen!!

How to be dressed when trying to climb trees, Right vs Wrong outfits!!

My first lesson

I'm gonna try to learn some Finnish, even though I think it's a really ugly language!

My colleague had this at home, so this is how I will start, just like a child XD

I tried to read some of the words out loud but it's really difficult!

I wonder how this is gonna turn out...

Sweden is number 1

Wow.. Sweden is number 1 ^^

Kinda amazing.

Also, why's Singapore on 12th? English is an official language there!!

As for the rest, some surprising, other not.

Probably should but...

Today at work I realized I need to learn Finnish.
At work I use Danish, English, Norwegian, and Swedish, however I'm missing Finnish.
The major reason is, the language is totally different and I don't think it's beautiful at all.
However for my work nowadays I really need it. And my co-worker told me to learn it ^^

In a way if I would know Finnish it would open doors to work, I mean, if learning, I'd be able to speak all Nordic languages.

But well... can I?
And when? I guess is the big question!

My Japanese is impoving

Today I got a letter from one of my Japanese aunts, she wrote it all in Japanese..
As she usually does these days.
I could understand and read everything, including kanji... except 2 kanjis!!
I have no idea what they mean, I do get the main picture but I wonder what those two mean, so I will bring the letter with me to Japan so my friends can help me out.

Anyway it feels good that I understand more and more Japanese these days ^^

Now it's only 7 days left!!!! or less because this time next week I will be in transit in Doha!

What's going on?!

I wonder why, why are Swedish students so bad at grammar?

When I was studying in Canada it said "the student need to keep to level of correct English".. or something like that.

But after reading a lot these days it seems like in Sweden it doesn't matter as long as you understand.

Which I think is kinda true, still it's bad!!

These days students use English so much they forget their mother tongue.

I wonder what will happen to Swedish...it's just getting worse and worse....

Oh how I love languages

There are always something funny about most languages!!
Here's a little bit of Spanish ;)

Swedish language ^^

There's this saying about some Swedes, they speak very few words... and here's proof!

Food for thought

It's kinda funny, and I feel bad for Americans :P and Go Sweden ^^

KOREA and Sweden

Earlier today i posted a clip when two Koreans spoke in Swedish in a drama series, kinda funny!
Then again Sweden do have a good reputation in Korea, still funny!

However this isn't the first time!

Back in 2003? I think, they used a song by Carola in Swedish as ending theme song in the movie Bad man.

In 2008 in Boys over flowers we had our flower boy Yi-Jung, played by Kim Bum, going there.

In early 2012 in one of the episodes of the drama called Love Rain, starring SNSD Yoona and Jang Geun suk, we could hear the song Vem vet by Lisa Ekdal from the 90's.

Today in the drama Ohlala couple, the character Victoria announced her resignation saying she'd go back to Sweden!

I know there has been much more of Sweden in Korean dramas and movies but this is what i could think of right now! ^^
