You know you are getting better at Swedish when…

in Our Man in Sweden

You have a full conversation in Swedish with a Stockholm taxi driver.

First time I have had a proper chat and not dipped into English with a taxi driver. I was actually taking the piss out of taxi drivers saying they must be the only people in Sweden who hate it when the sun is out!

He said even taxi drivers need a bit of sun!

Am now in the Netherlands for 6 days on a seminar. I will be in the town of Noordwijk.  Not been there since I watched the Swans play there in a pre season friendly. I doubt I will be getting that drunk on this trip!

Its a pity you’re leaving now your Swedish is coming together !

Personally, I think my Swedish will never “really” come together. I still hear a student-snigger every now and again in my lectures when my pronunciation lets me down….
