I can't believe it's October already. It feels like I just finish writing one of these and then suddenly it's time to write the next one. Well, where to begin - I finished rewatching Gilmore Girls, I've been trying to catch up on a bit of reading and a bit of writing, but I've been … Continue reading PNP 2024, part 3 – Häxan, kapitel 3
So here we are again! It feels like the first of the month comes around quicker every month. In between dog-sitting for my parents and embarking on what must be at least my seventh rewatch of Gilmore Girls, I've somehow still managed to find the time to do a re-write of this.

But far be it from me to question the men and women in charge of time and keeping … Continue reading Swedish books and where to find them
Well, here we are - almost half way through the year already! As this past month has been particularly busy for me, I just wanted to take this opportunity to quickly check in and do a bit of a linguistic stock take, and maybe set out some goals for the rest of the year. As … Continue reading Stock taking & goal setting
Merry April, dear readers! This month, I’ll admit, I was struggling a little for ideas. My language learning progress has been minimal at best and I haven’t really done anything exciting travel-wise. Somebody on Twitter (you can find me @sprakskatan) made a wonderful suggestion and it kind of inspired me to talk a little about … Continue reading Languages & Me: Scandilove
Again, as a way of distracting myself from writing something about Brexit, I decided to dip back into my ongoing series of posts to teach you guys some basic Scandinavian. So that's exciting, isn't it? And if Brexit does go tits up, you can use these posts as the first stop on your emigration to … Continue reading Scandinavian for beginners, part 3
When I sat down to write this month's post, I initially wanted to write something about Brexit. I made a couple of attempts but honestly, I have to admit that I just don't have the words - I could write about the feeling of betrayal and disconnection I and many others of my generation feel … Continue reading Scandinavian for beginners, part 2
