I believe its always good to know languages. And the willing to learn languages tells a lot about someone:)
I believe that it is very important to figure out what is your best way of learning. I want my students to find out their way of learning and then I want to be support, inspiration and a source of the languages I know.
I believe that there are many diferent “best ways” of learning languages. I my self learn only by listening and speaking. I know English grammar pretty good, not by knowing them theoretically but by remembering the sounds and the flow. I dont think I would ever be able to learn a language by theoretically studying it. My brain remembers sounds. This is my way of learning though.
There are many other ways of learning a more theoretical way, repeating words and sentences or just by being exposed to a language. And sometimes one way works and sometimes something else works, depending on what part of a language you are studying.
I was born in Sweden lived in Los Angeles for a while, have traveled a lot, speaks fluent English and Swedish(which is my native language). Right now I live in Oslo in Norway.
I also speak Norwegian, German and some Spanish.
Right now I am trying to figure out what I want to do in the future. So I have a lot of time of to teach, my self and others, which I really like. Widening the world for my self or someone else is always good.
I have microphone and cam:)
About the Scandinavian languages. Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are a lot alike. Swedish and Norwegian are almost the same. Swedes understand Norwegians and vice versa. My impression is that both Swedes and Norwegians have a bit of a problem when it comes to understanding spoken Danish, Danes speak really fast and they put the words together in a way that makes it hard to discern the words and understand them. When it comes to written language Danish and Norwegian is the most alike of the three.
Here are some good sites about the Swedish language:
