Silla grew up, part 2.
Silla goes to school and sometimes misbehaves
When I was six I started pre-school. I’ve always thought that school is pretty fun, and I learn easily, so I’ve never really had any problems at school. Except that one time, when I was six and hit my classmate. This, I don’t remember at all. It can’t have happened! I don’t hit people! But dad said that once when he came to pick me up at school, a teacher told him that I had hit a boy in the sandpit. HAHAHA! I think this is soooo funny! I wonder what he did to deserve that?! But I’m sure he REALLY deserved it.
My fascination to other cultures and the English language
In 4th grade we started studying English. In Sweden we learn British English. Our pronunciation is supposed to be British, but it’s not, really. It’s a mix between a Swedish and British accent I guess. When a Swede speaks English, it sounds so silly, for most people. So that’s why I hope that I can live a while in Britain, to pick up their nice accent.
One of the reasons why I’m running this website is because I’ve always had a strong feeling for other cultures. Or at least since i was 13-14 or something. I think that’s when my fascination for other cultures and countries began.
These days, if I hear that someone is speaking English, my ears open wide and I try to figure out something to say so I can join the conversation. I just love the English language, the way it flows, the words, the way our mouths shape when we speak it. Isn’t it a lovely language?
That’s why I hope that people from all over the world will read The-Swedish-Way. And I’d LOVE you to comment and maybe tell me where you are from.
