It seems now that I have a lot of free time over that I should get on with this blogging business. Actually, I’m no stranger to blogs. As I have 193 blogs subscribed to my Google Reader account I do spend an awful lot of time to read them a lot.
My main reason for blogging is to keep up with the practice of writing. I need that practice in order to keep communicating clearly with others. Without trying to sound condescending, I could argue that I currently do well in contrast to other non-native English speakers.
There are certainly some perks if you are a resident of Sweden like me. Scandinavians have been incapable of voice dubbing movies and television shows, mostly due to economic reasons. Instead we subtitle everything foreign and the tradition of subtitling still lives on. You could argue that subtitles obstruct the movie, but the fact remains that we do have a very high level of language acquisition in comparison with other countries that do voice dub.
Anyhow lets see if I can keep up with this blog writing at least once every week.
