About Me

have at last achieved a truce with the Swedish language.I would almost go so far as to say that I'm fairly fluent. Oh, I still speak English almost exclusively with my husband, as well as with a number of people that I have well-established relationships with whom I started in English. But I'd say about half of the time I speak Swedish, and I've started to really go back and forth with ease, sometimes even without exactly thinking about it. It only took me five years to get to this stage where I actually feel pretty comfortable with it.Still, I wonder if I'm stupid.Because I just can't seem to translate worth shit. It's so difficult to quickly come up with the exact English equivalent of a word when asked sometimes. I know what the word means in Swedish, but it's almost as if I think differently when I think in Swedish and I've never bothered to translate certain words.Some people seem to have no trouble with instant translation, but I sit on the train and today I was absentmindedly listening in on the conversation of the people behind me and I began thinking, "how exactly would I translate this discussion about whether to go out for dinner or not - what is the English word for 'käka' anyway?"Plus I have yet to have dreams in Swedish, which is supposedly some kind of sign of fluency.I wonder how people fare who have to actually learn a language like, say, Finnish, which is as distant from English as Chinese or Xhosa?How does one define real and true fluency?
