Hi. My name's Stephanie and I'm 17 years old. I want to be a polyglot and speak relatively unpopular languages; I think learning languages because they are rare and learning just for the sake of learning them is very, very cool. I was never really the popular kid at school, anyway, haha. I plan to do maths and computer science for a living; adding language skills to those subjects will be a big plus. Finally, I actually do have very serious gender issues, and I'm not going to hide that. This is very important for one to know if I'm going to be part of an online video conversation (e.g. Skype), especially when you are going to be my teacher and you need to see my face. I have a guy voice and body, but never identify as such. So, it is good to know, yes. I do not offer courses or exchanges in the Thai language, because I don't know the language or the culture. :p And no, you are *not* welcome to talk to me in the language, because I don't actually speak it.

    One sentence for captioning a selfie of mine "Hárið mitt er nærri öxlunum." I thought of the sentence as, "Håret mitt är nära axlarna (mina)" in Swedish. I'm not sure if "nærri" has to be conjugated or something? Thanks!

    "in" is basically a short form of "within". They both work. All sentences are correct.

    Traditional gender roles. Mistakes?

    8 March was the most important feminist strike there has ever been. Many women went out to demand equal roles in our society. For a long time, women had generally had a secondary role; they were mostly responsible for doing household chores and taking care of the children.
    Fortunately, the situation has been changing little by little. Nowadays, in a typical household, the husband and wife each have clearly defined roles in terms of who does what. They share domestic chores and both spend time with the children. The man is absolutely aware of the importance of women.  Men are gradually becoming more aware of the importance of women.
    I can say from my experience that I was brought up in an equality environment of equality between men and women. I used to share the domestic chores with my sister, and understood that I too, had to collaborate at home.
    If you really love your mother, sister or wife, get off your ass get your ass up and help them.


    As a sidenote, I want to say that I would not say “Men are gradually becoming more aware of the importance of women.”  If this is for an essay, it sounds a little bit too generalized or something along the lines.  I would say something like, “Men and women are thus gradually becoming more and more equal (as we work towards equality).”

    How does one use "nord," "norr," and "norra," and these types of words in Swedish? I have so far found three different forms of words for each direction in a map: "nord", "norr", and "norra" which all mean something to do with the north; "syd", "söder", and "södra" which all mean something to do with the south. Now, I only am sure about the ones for north and south, but I am about to use my gut instincts here and guess the ones for west and east: "väst," "väster," and "västra;" "öst," "öster," and "östra." Does that sound right? Anyway, I would like to know how many forms of each word for each elementary direction on a map actually exists. Are there just three that can be used as I've mentioned? Are there more? Also, I would like to know the differences between the forms heretofore enumerated. Here are some things I know: - Det snöar alltid i Nordeuropa. (haha) - Vi ska åka till norr om Europa. - Sverige ligger i norra Europa. - Sydamerika är stort. - Texas ligger söder om Amerika. - I södra Amerika är det ju het.

    Heya.  I'm a native English speaker.  We can text, and I hope that would suffice, because I'm not really up for video chats right now unfortunately.

    Present continuous

    Trump is angry. He's tweeting stuff.
    Where's Kim Jong Un? He's testing a nuclear missile.
    Half-naked Putin is riding a horse right now.
    Can you see what Berlusconi is doing over there? -- He's embracing a long-haired blonde.


    By the way, very funny sentences we have here.  :p  You ought to know that I appreciate dank humor.  Anyway, most of the grammar is correct, except for the 2nd last sentence about "Berlusconi".  After "see," a subordinate clause comes, and in subordinate clauses, the verb follows the subject as normal.

    Mitt namn är Stephanie. Hej allesammans! Jag heter Stephanie och jag är sjutton år gammal. Jag bor med min mamma och morbror i ett hus i staden. Vi har fyra husdjur: det första och andra är hundarna, det tredje och fjärde är katterna. Alla av dem har adopterats av min moster från hennes arbetesplats. Jag är i 12:an och läser matematik och datorvetenskap på högskolan. Vanligtvis studerar jag svenska efter skolan eller medan jag har rast. Jag har ett matematiks och datorvetenskaps prov på c. 5:e mars i år. För närvarande håller jag på och förbereder mig för det. Jag hoppas att jag lyckas, men jag ju är rädd för det. Det är ett svårt prov. Äsch... Det betyder också att jag har mindre tid att lära mig språk (t.ex. svenska, isländska). Jag började lära mig svenska för 4 år sedan och jag brukar använda Duolingo och Memrise på kvällar, innan jag sover. Jag lär mig svenska därför att det verkar vara ett vackert språk. Jag tycker också om en sångare och låtskrivare som heter Sofia Karlsson. Hennes röst är en vacker kvinnlig röst, och hur hon sjunger på svenska betyder ALLTING för mig. Vilken inspiration hon är! Haha... Oavsett hoppas jag att åka till Sverige eller Norge i framtiden. Jag har inte varit där förut! Min familj och jag bor faktiskt i ett varmt land, c. femtusenåttahundra milor från Sverige. Jag är det enda barnet i familjen min som pratar svenska och förstår lite norska (jag hade ett förhållande till en norrman). Så jag är mycket tacksam för böckerna och kurserna på nättet, ty de är fantastiska och har en jättestor betydelse! Jag vill också tacka mina vänner från Sverige; de är snälla. Äntligen skulle jag vilja tacka er alla för att ni har läst den här uppsatsen trots att det ganska är lång och full med min kanske dåliga svenska. :p Ni får kommentera på den här uppsatsen där nere; jag är mycket tacksam för era fina ord. Trevlig dag! <3

    I went skiing

    I went skiing after a long absense at Geto skiresort
    I fell down 3 times because I was a beginner, but the snow was soft; it did not hurt anywhere.
    I would like to have fun while checking the surroundings.  From the next
