So finally the anticipation's over and I started Swedish night classes today. Today, we learned the alphabet. So the alphabet are basically the same except there are the extra A's, and most of the letters are pronounced a bit differently to English. Spent 2 hours getting the pronunciation up to scratch and I really need to go over them over and over so they burn into my brain and make reading easier for next week.
Maybe going to find some Swedish movies to watch and get the intonation and slang burned into my brain as well. Lots of burning in. Hope I can move fairly quickly through this stuff and start reading basic children's book by the end of the semester.
