Languages
Today is European Day of Languages. And that made me think a bit on what language should I focuse now. What language do I want to learn?When I was little, it was a huge thing in Slovakia (and similar states) when one could speak one foreign language. I speak Slovak, English and Swedish and understand some German but I feel it is nothing. In this world and the world I am active in two languages are too few.
So which language to chose: deep in my head sits hungarian (since my mom is hungarian) and that I feel I would learn fast, but some Italian or even Spanish have higher probability of useage, Russian is something I can learn very fast (it is close to Slovak), French is very tempting and also very good to have as I experienced that French people do not put lots of effort to learn English. Or should I first improve my German? Hmm hmm hmmm.. I am thinking.
PS. Greetings to Ruzka who speaks some 10 languages out of which 7 are fluent (if I am right. Maybe more)
Ich denke, dass du zuerst dein Deutsch auffrischen solltest. Ich glaube, dass es nicht lange dauern wuerde =))

Ja! Deutsch ist sehr interessant. Aber glaube ich, dass Bosnisch besser ist.=) Dann könntest du drei Sprachen verstehen =)Let's hope this is correct what i worte.. Maik is very good at proofreading, maybe he'll react =) and, yes,one by one.. you can learn any you want:)
What about Estonian? so there will be more people speaking it:P
btw "got myself" in my blog does not mean that you read from it, because it is a bad translation from Estonian. And in my bad English, it means as owning a tamagotchi and getting it from someone. Thank you! It is still alive, but haven't had much time to play with her:)
I'm learning Swedish now and yesterday I got a great advice with it. I wrote about it in my blog.

I think that we agreed once that the official language of the ACTIVE office should be norwegian. And since you already know swedish it won't be so difficult.
I'm for estonian as well! Thats already 2 voices, meaning the majority, if this is a democratic vote ;)
Yeah I like your reason Tiina and Kristiina =) I think only Faroese would have a stronger argument =)Hmm..now I think even more. Maybe we can start with some basic phrases =) I know "kali" already =)
Hej hej.. wait a minute! Wouldn't u like to learn Bosnian, and therefore understand and speak Serbian, Croat, understand Macedonian and Slovenian?? Two extra arguments: it's similar to Slovak, and u can come to Sarajevo and practice!! :)
Minjaaa..u r a real lawyer =) Not giving up =) So now..thinking continues =) Yes I know while thinking I could learn some basics already. So I know what..whomever write some phrase and translation I will learn it.
