My beautiful love story with a Swede

him, but I think we could do the same

We finally started writing to each other, but by February there was too much work to do to continue writing for me

I had obviously missed his letters and wanted to know what had happened in his life.

So I started reading his blog, which he wrote in English and Portuguese. I had no choice but to translate everything from English and Portuguese. Then I made a new pen PAL who was Belarusian, but he really inspired me: his skills were more basic than mine, and in a sense we started a competition: who can speak English better? A year later, he admitted that I could speak Swedish better than most of them.

This year I met many Swedes and started to speak Swedish fluently.

I was able to get a scholarship,"summer English courses"at the Swedish Institute and study the language intensively with other students for two weeks.

It was fun! After a while, the most Swedish one for my city arrived, and I accidentally visited one of them, but that's another story.
