My Mastery of Swedish Literature

What can I say? It's working. Peter has even stopped laughing over my pronunciation. I am kind enough to limit my reading to him to three or four pages at a time. I've also been "reading" Swedish newspapers, magazines, etc. I'm getting to where I can get the gist of an article. One thing I'm getting great at is reading menus, but that probably comes as no surprise. I can also write a basic grocery list in Swedish. I am finally beginning to believe Peter that there is indeed a difference between an 'o' and an 'ö' ('Ost' is 'East', 'Öst' is 'cheese') Other groovy, oddly-pronounced Swedish letters: å, ä.
