Today's the day! I sat for my Swedex A2 test.

On hindsight…Short-circuiting the timeline to proficiency to sit for an exam may not be the wisest thing to do. It certainly was brave of me and I was being a bit of a daredevil, but so too is the higher probability of fail rate.

Sometime in August this year, I mentioned my plan to sit for the A2 certification by Swedex a year from now (in 2018). Well, there's been a slight change of plan—I'll be sitting for it in a few days’ time on 19 December!

My rather last minute exam application to the Folkuniversitetet in Jönköping, Sweden was successful (didn’t expect that to happen!) and I paid the exam fee yesterday.

This—my friends—is an awesome course. If you are interested in learning Swedish, I highly recommend it. The Swedish Made Easy, 6-day course is very easy to follow and the instructor, Felix Lättman is a joy to listen to and watch.

In this engaging course, he scripted the lessons and selected one candidate, Shien Zutshi from Canada, to learn 1-on-1 with him for 30 hours.

The above assignment is from page 31 of the book, Swedish Tutor. My goal is to attempt all the writing exercises and post them here. Until the next läxa (homework), hej då (bye)!

The above assignment is from page 12 of the book, Swedish Tutor. My goal is to attempt all the writing exercises and post them here. This is my första (first) homework from the första chapter of the book for niva (level) A1/A2. Until the next läxa (homework), hej då (bye)!

I bought ÅH NEJ, BRUNO! more than a year ago while I was in Stockholm. It was the first week of March and super cold. I was strolling around town in the near 0°C temperature and ended up in a small bookshop (surprise, surprise!) in the Stockholm Central Station. This lovely, orange-colored board book stays on my bookshelf until today and I finally felt that it is time. It is time I try to read it with my limited comprehension of Swedish.
