I've Been Told

People have said that when I write in English(now)I build my sentences the way you do when writing Swedish. Not only that, but I have also been told that when I speak English, I sound more like a European speaking English than an American...guess that's what happens when you have lived in another country for 5yrs. This critique is coming of course from other Americans and Mattias. So, to my American blood please bare with me when my grammar is a bit off and leaning more towards the Swedish way (yes, they build sentences quite different) and if we speak on the phone or via computer feel free to chuckle at me, I won't take it personally. Give me a month or so back home and I am sure I will sound just like you. To my Swedish friends and family, I am sure you haven't noticed a thing...right?

Swedish & English (Svenska & Engelska)

So, I created this blog so our friends and family (those who are near and far) can stay up-to-date with what is going on with us, plus see up-to-date photos of Enzo. However, when I started the blog I just naturally began writing everything in English. I know our Swedish friends and family can understand English, some require a bit more time than others... but, so our blog will be enjoyable for both those who speak english and those who speak swedish, I will write in both languages from here on out. Please forgive me for this oversight...

Jag skapade denna blogg så att våra nära och kära (de som bor nära och de som bor lite längre bort) ska kunna hålla sig uppdaterade om vad som händer i vårt liv, plus att man kan få se lite bilder av Enzo. När jag började blogga så var det naturligt för mig att skriva på engelska, och jag vet att våra svenska vänner och familj förstår engelska, vissa kanske behöver lite mer tid än andra... men, jag vill att både de som pratar engelska och de som pratar svenska ska kunna njuta av bloggen utan att man måste koncentrera sig på språket. Så, framöver kommer jag att skriva på både svenska och engelska. Ursäkta mig att jag inte tänkte på detta direkt från början.
