Ibland har hon inte inspiration

One thing that is interesting about the Swedish language: words can be arranged in any order in a sentence as long as the verb comes second. Ex: he eats yogurt at 12 o'clock; at 12 o'clock eats he yogurt; yogurt eats he at 12 o'clock. This is probably not always true, and maybe even mostly wrong, but this is what I understand about Swedish after 6 lessons. Another thing, and this is really great: you don't have to conjugate verbs for different subjects. Ex: he äter, she äter, they äter, we äter (äter is eat). I really like that.

By the way, for those interested, my blog titles are all coming directly from my class - freshly learned phrases. Today: sometimes she has no inspiration.

Leah--

Wow--snow! We have gotten a little in the mountains here in Vermont but none in "downtown" Middlebury.

Interesting comments about the Swedish language.

Stay warm!
