Hej alla bloggläsare!
(Hi all blog readers!)
I am really happy to have so many followers here on The Local. It is so much fun to be able to help you learning more Swedish. It is also very useful for me as a teacher to “get inside the heads” of the students.
I want to reward you for your contributions to this blog (all your interesting questions) and encourage you to interact even more. So I have decided to announce a competition. 10 of you will win a Swedish online lesson of your choice (conversation, grammar, pronunciation etc ). To win I want you to tell me about about a funny mistake you have made when speaking Swedish. For example I once had a student that told me that he had mixed up the words “förstår” (understand) and “förstör” (destroy), so he sat in meetings at work nodding and saying “Jag förstör” (I destroy). Write your story (about 200-500 words) and send it to my email learn@swedishclasses.com. You can write in Swedish or English. The last day to send in your story is on Monday December 7 2010.
Good luck!

Hello,
I think there’s a typo. You’ve spelled both the words as ‘fötstår’. It should be ‘förstör’ for ‘destroy’ right?
Njoy!

Here is mine, from a presentation I made for 900 delegates at a Swedish Cycling Federation meeting in 2006. I was launching the campaign “Cykel 42″
——————————————-
Målet med Cykel 42
Att vi lockar
1 000 cyklister som idag cykla ett lopp till att cykla tre till.
2 000 cyklister som idag cyklar två lopp till att cykla två till
4 000 cyklister som idag cyklar tre lopp till att cykla ett till.
Som ger (med en startavgift på 300:-)
1 000 x 3 x 300:-= 900 000:-
2 000 x 2 x 300:-= 1 200 000:-
4 000 x 1 x 300:-= 1 200 000:-
Summa, ökade omsättningen kring våra lopp = 3,3 miljoner!
Många föreningar tillsammans som samarbete kommer att ge den största förorening Sverige har någonsin beskådat.
Ni kan hjälpa till!
