es, I actually tried reading ff in Swedish but that didn't work too well because 1) I didn't understand a thing and 2) there is little Swedish ff to read, and even less is interesting for me I wish I could study Russian instead, I'd be roughly 300 times more motivated because I actually see and hear it daily, not two times in decade outside of a classroom, but no...!
Ok, I'll have to stop my rambling about Swedish before you all get too bored to my OT
The fic I am currently working is Teslen... or, well, not that much, but Helen and Nikola are in it so it is close enough
Tesla's speech is giving me some extra headache (I don't write in English and his speech translates somewhat badly), and Kate is just a nightmare to write. Henry is doing much better after last night but I am not 100 % happy... Luckily I had common sense to choose Will kind of a main character, he is always the most easy to write
Tesla is trying his best to hijack the plot, I have heard he does that often But I won't let him, I already know how I'll keep him down, mwahahaha, and he won't be enjoying it

I've just read the story you rec'd. Here's the link for everybody: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7685571/..._the_bBullet_b
Go read it folks, it's AMAZING.
It's not fluffy but full of wit and hotness and brilliance.
I've left my review. Now I feel bad about all this story being in one long chapter because I've forgotten to say something in my review I guess I was too overwhelmed"Are you like, a crazy person?"
"I am quite sure they will say so."

Originally posted by FromOutside View PostAnd I should be enrolling the courses I want or have to attend next period but blah, it is only one course and but that is the most difficult for me in the whole school: mandatory Swedish. I can't introduce myself with the language, I can't tell the difference between it and some other languages, and I am supposed to talk with it about the subjects I study. Yeah, no problem, my dictionaries don't even know the words I should be using!
I need a miracle because without it, I think I'll pass the course around 3012.Originally posted by es! View PostAnd as for Swedish... huh, difficult. I've heard once that you need three reasons to learn a foreign language successfully. The first one is to pass the course in your case. Maybe you find a Swede to talk to here on the forums and this person will be your second reason? The third reason could be Sanctuary in Swedish!
No seriously. I remember I fled from my German courses in high school. I thought I would never learn that terrible language. Now I am fluent in it Everything is just a question of motivation
Learning a new language which you have little interest in or opportunity to use is a pain in the a$$, FromOutside. I once attended a French language course for a year and as much as I was interested in the language I didn't have the chance to use in my daily life so now I forgot about 80% of the thing I've learnt. I was thinking about taking up the language all over again but as es! said it's the motive that I'm lack of.
I've read somewhere before that the best motive and way to learn a new language is to have a boy/girlfriend who speaks that language, so I better find a French man to fall in love with. Oh! I can't leave Nikola behind, so I'm going to be a busy gal then!sigpic

I had a splendid idea of watching The Score in French yesterday in hopes that Jonathon dubbed his own part. But alas, Jon doesn't speak French apparently And there I thought all Canadians would speak French"Are you like, a crazy person?"

I just think that Canadian-Canadians are so often exposed to French that they usually speak it *shrugs*"Are you like, a crazy person?"

I watched Sanctuary for None 1/2 yesterday I can't wait to see the final! The cliffhanger is evil and so much is going on in so many levels!
Spoiler:Poor Nikola, I felt sorry for him But he got what he deserved, kind of... But I think he was maybe kicked out because of his history with Helen, or because he did too little testing on abnormals. No sane person kicks out someone like him because of some mostly harmless funding scheme. I think Nikola became a danger and he was played out. Maybe he even came to Sanctuary for safety.
RE: earlier discussion, I think Nikola wasn't trying to make Helen jealous when he referred to that woman whose name he didn't remember. He didn't have an eye contact with Helen (or anyone else) and he didn't seem to be waiting any kind of a reaction.
I think Helen wasn't trying to cheer Nikola up because he didn't seem to be that sad. After all that was just a job and he had energy to whine and keep his timetable to destroy Helen's wines Losing the job undoubtedly was a nasty setback but immortality had to help to live with that kind of setbacks, so maybe Helen thinks that after some moping Tesla will see it from more sensible perspective.

Originally posted by es! View PostYes, it's a proven fact that emotional attachment helps a great deal with learning - anything, not just foreign languages.

Originally posted by es! View PostNah, I don't believe in such stereotypes.
