Today: chaotic but positive

[marshtide]

So:

I got a "very good" on my Swedish exams. In fact, I got such a very good that my teachers both recommend that I don't apply for the next course, actually, because they don't think I'll learn anything AND because they know I have expressed distaste about distance study in the past and the kommun, bless their warped little souls, have decided that the rest of the courses will now only be distance study. So I'm probably done with studying for now; next autumn I can begin university level language courses.

Which means I need a job. On which note: I actually have an interview on Monday. And that, regardless of outcome, means I'm delivering good enough applications in Swedish to be noticed! Hoorah.

If anyone knows why pineapples look like pineapples, Valborg would like to know.

Yeah, I do feel a bit hysterical right now. But not in a bad way. I think.

You are awesome! :D

Just make sure you get all the documentation you need to prove that You Know Swedish, in case there are places that require such and such levels of proficiency, er, documented! :D

Cool~ You will do well!
What kind of job is it?

[marshtide]

It's a teaching job for "engelska som modersmål", so like, english as native language - kids from immigrant families get classes taught in their native language as well as in swedish.

Awesome, congratulations!

(and yes, what job is it?)

[marshtide]

Thanks! And see above - an english teaching job, but for kids from english-speaking families, not swedish kids.

Already? You're one fucking crazy language person.

Hi, I just suddenly remembered the existence of DW.

\o/ I pwn language! It probably helps that I read and read and read and read... ;;;

Hullo!
