Choose this title! Posted by jennie on Feb 23, 2010 in Uncategorized
Since all your comments and inputs are such a great source of inspiration, would you be willing to help out with a little experiment?
What about this: You think of a title suggestion and post it as a comment here or on Facebook. Out of all your brilliant title suggestions, we pick a few and write posts about exactly that. Anything goes, as long as it has a connection to our belowed Sweden (and is relatively short…) of course. But perhaps something in the line of “The perfect meatball recipe!” or “The clock – in Swedish” or “Swedish check up-lines” or “Swedish politics – an introduction” or literally what ever you would like.
Allright? Let the title-dropping begin!

Brilliant idea!
What do Swedes think of the English/Americans?
Why is Swedish children’s literature some of the best in the world? And does Pippi Longstocking embody some basic Swedishness that makes her such a national emblem?
What are the different characteristics of people from different parts of Sweden? What are the main differences in accent?
What do Swedes think of people from the other Scandinavian countries? And what do they think of the Swedes?
Tack – I’ll probably think of dozens more now!

I am truely not interested but I am surprised that no one dropped “The top 10 pickup lines” (in Swedish and from Sweden of course).
Xavier O:
Luke,
I reckon prude is not the fashion any more so I assume that you are either married or a priest? :p
Anyway I’m utterly interested, nice one!
Jennie:
Brilliant! Fantastic! Thank you ever so much for great brainstorming. Now to the tricky bit -to choose where to start. Watch this space!
Luke (Sydney):
Ha, thank you Xavier. I collected over one hundred English pickup lines yet have never tried one—there goes the proof that I am truely not interested—but now I know WHY I haven’t tried one…lol
Carla:
Great blog! I’d love posts for all the red days and special days, a lot of them have been covered I guess. ex: eating semlor on the day before Lent starts and Swedish Cinnamon Bun Day.

RONNIE MCGOWAN:
Following on from the comments by Karen Rusch –

Martin:
Cursing/swearing in Swedish and appropriate contexts – they don’t teach that in language classes!
