| Aloha (= Hej) Alex,
I'm from Hawaii, USA and we have lived in Uddevalla, Västra Götaland for nearly 4 years. I'm learning Swedish at my Vuxenutbildningen and will be continuing to Trollhättan högskolan in 2011 to become an English teacher. I still haven't decided if I would teach in an elementary or a high school. So this would be a little practice for me to help students with English.
A short profile about me: My name is Lilly Jansson of Chinese ancestry, born and raised on one of the Fijian islands. At 13, my family moved to Hawaii to live closer to "morfar". I met my Swedish husband online, who was studying at an university. We got married and a year later in 2006, we decided to move to Strömstad, Bohuslän to live nearer to his family. Due to work and commuting issues, we moved to Uddevalla the following year.
Although English is my 3rd language, I have grown up speaking English like it was my tongue language. I find Swedish grammar is hard and that is what some immigrants think also. I'm in SAS-B and am learning for 2 semesters.
I do help my fellow classmates with their English since they are immigrants like myself and English is their 2+ language. A few of them are learning English as well as Swedish at my komvux. I'll be learning English C in the fall and will ask my teacher as well as recommend this as a practice for them if you are interested. I do know a few immigrants here who will be taking the same course and a couple are American.
Hope to hear from you. Aloha nui loa! means med vänliga hälsningar.
Aloha means greetings as well as farewell, kindness and also love, depending on the context in the sentence... Give a little Aloha! = give a little love/kindness.
Mahalo! = Tack!
L.C. Jansson |
