Languages are funny… Today, I opened my daily Danish cross-word, to practice a bit. And it happened again! See #4? There it is again… 2 days in a row. Why? Is someone from the website following my blog and intentionally put “længsel” in my daily grid to wink at me? Is it the website’s way…… Continue reading Chikane…
Cross-words that is. Or mots-croisés for those who have a fetish for the letter é (note that fétiche also uses it). I am a lucky girl, all three of me (don’t judge my split personality unless you know us).

Remember that guy who took me out of my lethargy and thanks to whom I have exchanged a few words with Jonas? He suggested Duolingo. Every…… Continue reading I am stuck in places…
Just before Christmas, I had the chance to finally find a Danish tutor. We met twice, and though we talked a loooooot about Denmark and Danish, people around us would never have guessed I was actually taking lessons. I was having way too much fun.
