^^^ Mann, that would've been so fun. I hope one day I run into a Swede and then I can speak Swedish to them ;D But that would be very rare because there are not many Swedes in Australia  |

Same, coz now I've been saying Swedish things around the house even though no one understands, example: If my mum asks me how's the food or is it nice I would usually answer back "Läckra" (meaning delicious) or "Smaskiga" (meaning yummy) And I don't say thank you or please anymore I say "Tack" and "Vänligen" I also say "Ha en god sömn" instead of saying Have a good sleep, I say "Hur mår do" instead of How are you and I also say plenty of more stuff in Swedish and to me it's really fun ;D |

A useful thing for languages is to think of it as a "music" and "art" because if you unintentionally think of a word and link it to something in your mind, thinking of the picture you would link it to, then you remember things easily.
That's why a lot of linguists have recently been approaching the method of learning words via using instrumental music.

I kinda of do that, well for the word Delicious in Swedish which is Läckra' for some reason for me to remember I get the first part of Delicious which is Del and then I add Läckra to the end then it becomes Delläckra and there was an Aussie tennis player called casey Dellacqua and I think of that to remember it, I don't know why I do that but it's actually fun doing that ;D |
