Yay!!! :D
So at school I'm taking a language course... whivh means I have to take Icelandic, English, Danish, French and German...but last year because I have never learnt Dansih but everyone else had been learning it for approx. 5 years I had to take German instead (in the 1st year you have to take Icelandic, English, Danish and French or German but I took Icelandic, English, French and German)...so This year I am supposed to take Spanish instead of Danish :D very pleased with that...but I don't start Spanish til after Christmas so have a while to wait...but anyway the reason I'm telling you this is that there is a trip to Danmark for the students taking the language course...and it's not just any old trip...it's and exchange...we go to Danmark for a week then we get some Danish person for a week in March...at first I wasn't sure if I would be allowed to go since I don't take Danish but no I'm allowed so I handed in my form straight away....there's only one catch...I don't know any Danish...except for one litle song my friends taught me last year....Shall attempt to write it for you....anyone who knows Danish please corredt me if I'm wrong.... Here goes....
Jeg elska Karmen,
Karmen elska mig,
Vi er for lovet,
Karmen og jeg.
What do you think? think I could last a week in Danmark with that being my knowledge of Danish? (did that sentence make sense? not sure it did but I can't be bothered to write it again...sorry!) well me and Herdís have asked to be with the same family so that I can communicate with others....when I tell people I'm going to Danmark they all say "but Salka you don't take Danish...you don't know ANY Dansih! why are you going?!?" my answer to that question is.... "I'm not going to be left out!!! I want to go with you all!!!" anyway I've never been to Danmark it should be fun....only thing is we go in November and I think it's colder there than it is here...and it's FREEZING here!!!!it's STILL snowing!!!!...god I think I might change my mind and not go if it's colder...I'd freeze to death!!!! I tried to put a pic in there but it didn't work I think :S oh well we'll just have to see...
This has been Salka, and that's how the cookie crumbles....
toodles!!!
