    hehe, don't worry, German is definitely NOT so difficult to learn! You just need to get good bases.. and then it's all simple :)

    I'd like to learn Dutch. Is there anybody here who would like to learn Polish and teach me Dutch? By e-mails or MSN...

    I can recommend Swedish Comprehensive Grammar by Philip Holmes and Ian Hinchliffe, or Essential Swedish Grammar by Julian Granberry. Published in London and New York respectively. The first one will cost you a bit more, and the latter is a budget alternative. The others I know were all published in Sweden, so they may not be as easy for you to find.

    Yeah well it's okay danish, correct would be "jeg kan snakke dansk" but one of the things that's weird is all the rules that apply to less than half of our words, and the fact that written and spoken danish is only somewhat alike

    haha yeah i know. i'm rubbish at danish, even though i've been studying it for more than 3 years.. we have to study it over here, it's stupid.. i don't see why.
    it's a cool language and all, but it's really just too complicated for this stupid blonde over here haha :D

    You have to study it [​IMG] Well it's because we were mean vikings and we enslaved your men and raped your daughters, well either that or we just took your island [​IMG]

    Either way, hehe... You have to learn danish [​IMG]

    But it's really okay, I've had german for 4 years now, and I can like just order beer and such...

    Really I don't see why either, we're like 6 mio people speaking it, it's not the language that comes in handy most times [​IMG]

    hahaha yeah, cause when your king was our king a lot of danish people lived here so they started teaching danish in schools. but we got out independence in like 1940 or something.. but they're still teaching it in schools. it's just pointless...

    oh well, there's not much that i can do about it lol

    sure there is, gather a group of people and make a mass boycutting, take a stand, make a fucking statement... "Danish is weird, we want cookies!!!"

    Something like that :rolleyes:
