I bought a book about #birds of #Europe almost 30 years ago when I was in #Sweden, it is one of the best books I have ever bought.

It came so handy even in the #US to identify the family of the birds or sometimes even the right name in #Swedish (to have a comparison).

I am trying to learn the birds in #France and their names in #French with the help of the book and found this image very useful. I have seen many of them here and when I was living south of #Paris.

Almost exactly 40 years after I moved to Sweden, my kids are going to move there to live and study for a few years and who knows maybe they decide to stay there instead of moving back to France or even the US.

I have started teaching them Swedish, together with Babel for self-learning, found this book a great start for beginner level.

It is fun spending several hours per day on Signal app to have virtual classes and go over the material, pronunciation, basic grammar among other things.

One really amazing thing is that both of them have problem with the "R" in Swedish, they both pronounce it like the French, even thought they have no problem with it in English. I guess their bilingual mindset is switching to French mode when trying to learn a new language.

Swedes you are lovely

The way: vägen
The wall: väggen
The wave: vågen
The scales: vågen
The vagueness: vagen
The cart: vagnen

Jag surfar på en våg och sätta mina vaga tankar på vågen, tror att jag är på väg, men krossas mot väggen med min vagnen.

A Murderous System is Being Created Before Our Very Eyes ...

https://www.republik.ch/2020/01/31/nils-melzer-about-wikileaks-founder-julian-assange

One of the more #comprehensive #reports from #UN #Special-Rapporteur-on-Torture #NilsMelzer (aside from his book) into the case of #Assange with details of the #false #Swedish #allegations that fueled his #public #mobbing and #persecution. The #case is a huge #scandal and represents the failure of #Western #rule-of-law. If #JulianAssange is #convicted, it will be a #death-sentence for #freedom-of-the-press.
