Jag försöker att förbättra min språk så att jag kan både läsa och prata svenska. Jag förväntar med mycket gladje mitt nästa Sverige besök. >>
<< Jag har under de senaste åren studerat att första min svenska arv. Jag minns att jag redan som ung pojke kände mig hemma i Norden. Mitt intresse för Norden blev starkare och under årens lopp har jag studerat den historien av alla Nordiska länderna och jag började lära mig svenska. >>
