Polonia / Ever been to Sweden? [185]

Hi! Marek
Yes I think you'r correct, we always want to be so great, and show off our language-knowledge, but unfortunately we'r not that good I think.

I live right now in Lund, south of Borås you can say. I am from Laholm, north of Borås. This city much bigger, but also it's compact. And if you will complain thats ok :) I hope you understand. Your welcome to ask anything.

Morning (in fact it's not morning here, hehe)


Thats great


Yeah! i think you'r right there, it's most truly because they are sending english Television at most and many people even just are learning because they will travel abroad and such things. I don't know about english in Poland, but I don't think that's that usual.

Well, if you wonder anything, just ask.

Bye!

Me again.
So you mean that you can speak swedish, then you think we will respond in english, no I don't think that gonna happen, sorry, we are really addicted to our own language, so if you speak swedish, we will respond in swedish. That's not strange is it? But you should try to speak english first, then we will respond in english and there you go, you can be the teacher, hehe. So just tell that you're trying to speak swedish, and maybe some nice person will learn you the swedish language.

haha, yes you're right osiol, in that way we seems to love the english language.
But there is also many bands/artists that has been really big abroad, so I think thats why we are singing in english (at most). In fact for us swedish persons, there is a lot of artists that sing our own language. I think it's harder to be understood and get many fans etc. if you're singing swedish. And yes here is a lot of SAAB:s, I'm not that into car:s though. I thought that BMW and Mercedes was more expensive and symbolized more status.

That's completely true I think, we're not that critic, are we?
It's most truly because in Sweden people have their own style, (well, at most).
And you can see all different kind of folks, specially in the bigger cities.
So sure thing, we're open-minded, but here's jackasses as everywhere else.
But the most people are really nice, and understand some difference between each other.

So you mean that swedish people are like the centrum of the world in their own mind, or do they just think like this to be accept of other without accepting their self?
