Omar Marcos - Language Learning: Swedish


Hej! Jag heter Omar och jag talar lita Svenska. Mycket lita. Mycket, mycket lita! Jag gillar musik och kex. Och med er? Berätta något om dig själv. Vad talar du fur sprak?…

Lagom is a Swedish term implying "just right", "not too much, not too little". And I'm assuming this word can be used to describe a range of things. However, I would take issue with the application of it when it comes to certain sweets, because how can you have too many cookies? Mer kex, tack!

Midsummer's eve celebrations are likely already underway in Sweden. Who wouldn't enjoy a ride out to the countryside for singing & dancing, and hearty food like herring & potatoes?

I'm always impressed by how Europeans speak several languages with great proficiency. But as a newbie multilingual, I think it's a best to start out by learning a phrase that basically says I'm no good at this yet!
