The Old Folks Home

You guys had me laughing with the back and forth about gender and sin.

Now let me add to it:

Mr Finland with the big hat - is English your first language?
Fourth if you count studies, third if you count the order I learned them. We moved to a new part of the city when I was 8. All my friends still lived where we used to live, and the house had satellite TV. One summer of Cartoon Network, and little Felix spoke English. It wasn't until the last year of high school that I had to study some to be allowed to take the English exam at the end of high school, so I took 3 short courses to qualify.

Swedish is my first language, as I'm a Finnish Swede (not the same as a Swede though, I'm Swedish like a person from New Jersey is Italian), and my mother is originally totally Finnish speaking, so I grew up bilingual. I studied German since the third grade all the way through high school, but I'm not nearly as fluent in it as in Finnish, Swedish or English.

The basics I picked up from there, it was a good base to build upon. I've enjoyed books since I learned to read, so I read a lot in English too, nowadays I mostly read in English. Most of the decent shows on TV here are in English (mostly made in the States), and the internet is a wonderful tool for improving your vocabulary (and knowledge of more or less useful things).

Now that is the truth!
