Comments on: Day 9 – Baghdad and her Dad http://www.thelocal.se/blogs/swedetalker/2010/02/04/day-9-baghdad-and-her-dad/ The journal of language rookie Patrick Reilly Wed, 16 May 2012 09:54:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: swedetalker http://www.thelocal.se/blogs/swedetalker/2010/02/04/day-9-baghdad-and-her-dad/comment-page-1/#comment-39 swedetalker Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:01:58 +0000 http://www.thelocal.se/blogs/swedetalker/?p=82#comment-39 Hej Mariana Thanks for your message. Apologies for the late reply as I was away from the classroom for a while. Your best bet is to log onto http://www.blocket.se/ which has a good range of properties and also (Southern Sweden) http://www.boplatssyd.se/Pages/Start.aspx. Both these sites are in Swedish so you may need some help to find what you're looking for. If you have any contacts in Stockholm I'd suggest asking them as they would know the city. I've been told you can expect a lengthy wait to find the right place as there is huge demand particularly in the capital. Regarding language lessons you need get a personnummer from your local tax office as soon as you arrive and then register with your local 'Komvux' to join the free Swedish course. Hope this helps Patrick Hej Mariana

Thanks for the encouragement. I understand a lot of Swedish but when it comes to actually speaking it I struggle. I tend to eavesdrop on conversations or flick through the newspapers to pick up new words. At the moment I'm trying to master the grammar which isn't exactly fun but essential if I want to speak this peculiar language properly. We'll have to wait and see... Hej!
