During the pandemic I have had an annual Coursera subscription. In the beginning of the subscription I was so motivated and I took many English, Logistic, Procurement and Excel courses. These courses were excellent and thanks to them I could learn a lot. Yesterday I decided to take one free Supply Chain Management course in Coursera and I saw that I have access to all courses, which I have already taken. All these courses are useful for my current studies and I will rewatch them all.

For one month ago I started studying in one university of applied sciences and on Friday I’m going to have my first exam in business economics. I like that subject and I have been studying hard during the last months. Today I can easily solve tasks, wich are related to the business economics. Despite the fact that I’m prepared for the exam, I’m very nervous, because that exam is in Schwedisch. That language is not my native language.

My New Years resolution for 2023 is to read 20 books during the whole year. Today ist 25th of February and I have already finished 7 books both in English and Swedish. I have a plan to read one book in Swedish per month. I believe that reading helps me to improve and master all my foreign languages.

Yesterday I finished reading in Swedish Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland by Christopher R. Browning. For about about three years ago I read that book in English and to my surprise the original differs from the swedish translation. A lot of things are omitted from the Swedish translation. Very powerful moments that stuck in my head for life… For example, moments about how Polish peasants could turn Jews in to the Nazis for a bag of sugar or about Hiwi (Soviet collaborators) who helped the Nazis in Poland, Ukraine and in Belarus. I highly recommend to read this book in original or to get acquainted with the work of professor Christopher R. Browning if your are interested in the Holocaust history.

Today is one year since the beginning of the war in Ukraine und one year since Russian speaking word was divided into two parts. During the last year I haven’t had any conversations with my family in Russia, because they support the war.

I have noticed how daily writing in German helps me to improve my vocabulary grammar knowledge in my target language. That is why I decided to try writing in English, which I know better that German. I always feel myself uncomfortable when I need to write any text in English, because I have not so much experience in writing. Therefore I decided to write one text per day to improve it.

Gestern haben wir das Museum der Geschichte der polnischen Juden in Warschau besucht. Das war meinen anderen Besuch. Das erste Mal habe ich das Museum vor fünf Jahren besucht. Das Museum ist sehr groß und nur 10 Jahren alt. Das erste Mal war ich der circa 6 Stunden, weil ich habe alle Informationen gelesen. Dieses Mal habe ich nur im der Geschichte der Juden im Zweiten Weltkrieg interessiert. Deshalb habe ich nur drei Hallen besucht. In dem Museum habe ich drei Bücher gekauft. Ich mag Bücher in verschiedene Museums kaufen, weil dort kann ich historische Literatur gefunden.
