Greetings from Uppsala!
It's the second day of the three-week Swedish course that I'm following, and it's the most fun I've had in ages.
What a luxury to be able to devote an extended period to improving my knowledge of a language that I love, in such a charming little university town.
Learning a language is rewarding in many ways, but something which occurred to me yesterday is that it feels rather like growing. When you learn a new idiom or expression which allows you to express yourself just that little bit better than before, it's a bit like the first time you were tall enough to reach the light switch.
Most of the time as adults we begin to lose that feeling, but learn a language and you can grow up all over again.

Lots of love from me,

If Dan is improving his Swedish, I have no doubt that all his other languages will get better at the same time. No need to worry that he won't be able to understand you, ikke.
Dan, it makes me very happy to see that you've at last stumbled upon a path that is perfect for you.
May you continue to grow and have fun and lead a life full of excitement with your characteristic enthusiasm.
