hdfsfskkkkkfhajkhewuihjndsjbkl. Why does it have to be so slow to learn a language!??! THIS IS MY BIGGEST FRUSTRATION, & my most sought out for goal. I want to be able to understand what my friends are saying to each other, or what the heck LEGEVITENSKAP means, or WHY EVERYONE IS LAUGHING after someone says something. I am exhausted with focus, & lucky you, you get to read me whining to you. Its so so so embarrassing when someone says something to me and, although I can't see my own face, I must look pretttttttty stupid with a seriously blank stare. People must be getting frustrated with my constant questions and non-stop "EG FORSTÅR IKKJE."!!!! Sometimes, this constant headache is a LITTLE tiring. There are times, LIKE NOW, when I just don't want to focus on the language every waking minute. Its a part of the process blah blah blah. I KNOW. I WILL LEARN. I just want to participate, be a part of good class discussions, & I enjoy a deep convorsation with a friend but its hard to have one when you know MINIMUM Norwegian & your embarassed to talk English. Its not necessarily a barrier, but its tough. okay I'm done.
Other things on my mind: Middag soon. nice.
love you.

Hei! jeg er ei norsk jente som er utvekslingsstudent i Italia med afs, og jeg skjønner at språket vårt kan være frustrerende.
ReplyDeletemitt råd er å bare ikke bry deg så hardt om grammatikken nå, og heller prøve å snakke mere. det er slik man lærer. lykke til videre:)
hi! im an afsstudent in italy for this year. i understand that our language can be a bit frustrated. my advise is to don't think som much about the grammar, try to speak more instead, that's how you learn.
good luck:)
