hyvää päivää

Something I really want to learn sometime is Finnish. It has so many ä, ö and ü in its words. Plainly beautiful. I am considering to start learning it after I finished the Swedish course I hardly work on :). So I might start learning Finnish in 5 years or more :(.
As far as I know it sounds challenging to learn the language they do have a weird word order:

For instance the sentence from the picture "Pysäköinti vain paikan varanneille!" literally means (The) parking only a place for people who own reserverd.
Sounds like fun doesn't it?

Greetings.

Dictionaries

I've been asked what kind of dictionaries I use when I learn languages or read/write texts.
This will be an incomplete list of all dictionaries I currently use:

English, Spanish, Frensh to German and vice versa
Swedish to German

English only

Spanish only

Swedish only
  • Norstedts ord the website is well not really useable but here is the way how to get to the swedish-swedish dictionary:
  1. Sign up
  2. click on profil (in the navigation on the top right corner)
  3. scroll down and click on "Ändra" in the section "Mina språk"
  4. check "Svenska"
  5. Save settings, that's easy isn't it? 
Have fun while learning new words ;)
