Wondering what I should read next. I have the fourth volume of G.R.R. Martin’s series on the bookshelf waiting to be read, but I wonder if I would like to read some book in Finnish before it.
@matigo Indeed. They call the dialect of Swedish spoken in Finland Moomin Swedish in Sweden because the animated series was dubbed in that dialect (because reasons).
While I do read news in Swedish1, reading a full novel in that language2 was totally different experience. It took me a while to adjust my brain to read the words in Swedish and not in English, but once I got that done I was able to read the book quite fluently.
To be precise, the news I read are using Finnish-Swedish, or Moomin Swedish (muminsvenska), a dialect of Swedish used by Finns.
My tertiary language, even though it was the fourth language I studied. The third was German, but I have not used it that much ever.
@matigo Well, we already have a tortoise whose name is General Mayhem, so we decided to continue the tradition… 😆
@variablepulserate Well, I would not describe that book and its story exciting. It was just, how would I put it, dull. An easy read, though.
