Exciting day!!

Today after six week I will collect my pottery work, yes this past Monday was my last class of pottery for beginners I took at Rave with Katherine. Pottery was one of those things I always wanted to do, and I am very please I did it! I will have to post a few pictures later on. ..well, I picked them up and gosh the glazing(not sure of the spelling) turned up to be quite interesing... ......I like this one...

.... and of course the fish... done with underglazing... and then a clear glaze on top and then to the oven... ....I am not the best phographer perhaps that could be my next challenge.... :-)

6 week challenge.

A while ago I found this blog: "Aspiring Polyglot", while searching material about Mandarin. It is about a person that is working through becoming a polyglot, it has plenty of material about languages in general, very usefull links to other websites. Well since I found it, I have become a regular with probably several visits a week, and in one of my visits I founf this other web site How to Learn Any Language. This site is just fascinatinG! I joint one of their current challenges, study a language for 6 weeks and see how much you can learn, also compare experiences with other people. The language you select has to be one that you haven't study before. They had a couple of options, that I very carefully analyzed and finally decided to go for Swedish. Why? Well....,

• I thought about studying swedish before, (when I was in Oregon), but never had the chance to.
• Sweden is in the list of countries I would like to visit sometime; therefore, it will be handy to know a bit of the language.
• I am having a little break with Mandarin, so to spice it up a little bit why not to try something different.

I started on the 10 of April and going for 6 weeks, and we will see how much I can absorve.
My resources are going to be:

• Wikipedia (to learn about more about the culture,the country and history of the language itself)
• Teach yourself swedish, by Vera Croghan (I have the 2003 edition).

That will be probably enough for six weeks.
"I have to add that my six week will be focused on reading and writting"
