A few days ago, I received my order of Alex Rawlings' book, HOW TO SPEAK ANY LANGUAGE FLUENTLY. I'm now on page 84 and Kató Lomb was mentioned in the introduction, so I started to research more about her. She was a Hungarian interpreter, translator and one of the first simultaneous interpreters in the world. My research brought me to TESL-EJ website where I found three of Lomb’s books.

HOW TO SPEAK ANY LANGUAGE FLUENTLY by Alex Rawlings arrived in the mail today. I’m super excited and I'm placing this bright yellow book alongside my other language books.

I first found out about Alex from Olly Richards' podcast series, I Will Teach You A Language.

When I saw this post by Itchy Feet on Twitter, I was like, oh gosh, that is so what I'm getting when I tell people I'm learning Swedish.

Today I finished reading SPRING FORT, PYTTE! by Ingrid Flygare. Three days ago, I was reading DU ÄR BÄST, PYTTE! also by the same author. Both books were borrowed from the Huskvarna bibliotek.

SPRING FORT, PYTTE! (Run fast, Pytte!) is a story about being the smallest of the lot and overcoming fear. Pytte is a 4-year-old Shetland pony. He lives at the Granbacken stable with three other horses named Sonja, Jumper, and Attila. Together, they have so much fun and are very supportive of one other.

I've just finished reading DU ÄR BÄST, PYTTE! by Ingrid Flygare. It's a fun children's book I borrowed from the Huskvarna bibliotek. I read it twice.

DU ÄR BÄST, PYTTE! (You're the best, Pytte!) is a story about not losing courage even if you do not succeed in the beginning. Everybody is talented in their own ways and Pytte soon finds this out for himself!

I joined the PMI Sweden Chapter today! I'm also currently a member of the Malaysia and Singapore Chapters. I think joining the Chapter is a great way to keep myself up-to-date with materials relevant to my work AND improve the mastery of my Swedish language.
