My Duolingo: Swedish Level 4
Duolingo has helped me get daily exposure to the foreign languages I’m learning and it still does. Bless that little green owl! In 75 days I would reach a 365 day streak earning me the “Wildfire” achievement. There are 12 “Achievements” to be attained and I’ve already gotten 10. So…What I want to achieve this… — read more

New Notebooks
I have been using the Five Star spiral notebooks (sheet size: 8-1/2″ x 11″) for over a week now and I’m loving it. The paper is lightweight but the quality is good. Ink doesn’t bleed through the paper even when I use my Tombow brush pens and Pilot drawing pens. — read more

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. — read more

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… — read more
