Jonas travelblog - now bilingual


The last post I made was in English as most of you probably have realized. When I was writing it, I felt I had lost some of my 'edge' in writing English. Capitalized weekdays, when to use lent or leant, and things like the usage of commas all seemed to come slower to me this time. I then realized that nowadays I don't write anything in English anymore. I definately don't want to lose my English as I have my Japanese. (although I don't think that will happen)
My decision is as follows: I will now write my blog in both Swedish and English. That way I can practise my English, and my English-speaking readers can... well... take a break from reading when I write an article in Swedish. I hope that no one objects to this, but I believe all of my Swedish readers can fully understand English. In a few months I will start writing posts in Spanish. Then you can start to complain for real!
I will try to choose wisely which language to write in depending on the subject of the post.
Another reason for adding another language is that after my last post, the demographics and geographic scattering of my readers increased dramatically. This may just be a coincidence, but I got new views from Grand Rapids, Burnsville, Girona, and a place called Beersheba close to the Suez Canal. Interesting.
Anyway... time to go to bed. Midterm tomorrow in computer arquitecture and organization. Mmmm... 10011111001001001001010010100101111010100101000101011101010101. He. Easy shmeasy.

Ahh... sooo... ima, watashi no nihongo wa tottemo warui desune! Demo skoshi wakarimasuyo! Kakunohou ga motto muzukashii desu! (heter det så?)

Vad fånigt det känns att skriva med romanji! Jag får väl installera hiragana och katakana.

Matane!
