Today was the last lesson for me on the “Swedish for Immigrants” course, and I guess if you have been reading my droning on, you would know that I have really enjoyed it, and I have learnt a lot apart from the Swedish language. I have learnt a lot from my fellow pupils, who most have come from countries that have been at war recently, or in the case of the Iraqi women, are still in deadly turmoil. People are pretty much the same the world over, and (WARNING: Hippy Moment) why we all just can't get on with each other is at time baffling.

I would like to thank my teacher, who may not crack through the curriculum at break neck speed, she always had a host of interesting things to say, and is the first person who has managed to stick bits of grammar to my brain (SViPT... verb number two...).

So the exam is next Tuesday, but I am not going to get much of a chance to revise between then and now.... after that, the next stage is a “What are you going to do next?” discussion with my teacher, and then a goodbye coffee party, and then that's it... the next chapter will begin.

So the nine months I have invested in learning this lingo has been well worth it, but I still have a long way to go.... at my rate I will hit fluency in about twenty years....

That is all.
