I am trying to pick up Swedish again after taking four German classes in Uni…. At this rate I am creating some unholy matrimony of Germanic languages. Who next will be added to the soup
#mind you my German is also shit
#put all the little conjunctions and prepositions are now sprinkled into Swedish
#I’m trying to think and I just go: UND
#what the fuck is UND the word I’m looking for is OCH
#I am the epitome of linguist meaning NO I CANNOT SPEAK THESE LANGUAGES BUT I CAN TELL YOU FUN FACTS ABOUT THEM THAT I THINK ARE NEAT
#for example I like Swedish noun paradigms
#Swedish is what got me into linguistics in the first place so I am trying to reignite that live because I remember how it used to fill me
#with so much love hope and purpose
#maybe maybe maybe I’ll actually use all those grammar books I have
#given that I can ACTUALLY read the IPA transcription
#although actually I’d love to get some more textbooks that are… more linguistically inclined
#I’ve been using this book: German Phonetics and Phonology; Theory and Practice by O’Brien and Fagan
#for a phonetics project and … honestly I need something like that but for Swedish
#it pains me how much I used to know about Swedish that I’ve just…… lost
#but I’m coming back into it with more knowledge about language
#and also more knowledge about Swedish typologically… so that’s useful
