Spring fort, Pytte!

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.

Du är bäst, Pytte!

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!

PMI Sweden Chapter

Swedex Exam: An Update

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.

Swedex Exam

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.

Swedish Made Easy

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.
