Hi! :)

I'm a native Swede that's been teaching herself to write in English for a couple of years now. (The grammar still gives me headaches.) I did have some 25 year old school English in my truck since before, but it was not much to hang in the tree.

I found this forum when Googling for information for a story I'm working on. Now I wonder why I never got the idea to look for a writers forum before this. What a great site!

Have a nice day now! :Sun:

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Yeah, well, I was born and raised in the US and English still gives me headaches. I think that's why I prefer to study other languages.

Hi there, and welcome to the forums. Once on a blue Monday I took some classes of Swedish, but it's a long time and I don't remember much of it. I also started with school English, but found it was better to learn the language while staying in England or the States. Right now it feels like my native tongue.
