    Hi there everyone!

    I am an American who’s living in Sweden with my girl friend since a few years back. I was wondering, would it be OK for me to type in English in the other forums as well? I can read and understand Swedish, but I cannot type in Swedish. Sometimes my girl friend can help me out though :)

    Well, I guess that’s all for now. Let’s hope it’s OK for you guys if I write in English :)

    Hi! I Hope you like living in Sweden! I can not see why you should write only in this forum ’cause most of us swedes understand and speak decent english. We may however misspell words and spell “color” as “colour”.

    Glad you found us, EU’s best forum. But our rules are important so remember them and never talk about buying or selling. I just wanted to point that out…

    But hang around here until a mod give clearence…… *

    *Dont care about misspelling because I am a Swede….

    :D

    However, it’s fine to sell, buy, swap, and donate seeds (but asking for free seeds isn’t allowed).

    Thank you guys!

    EvilGanja: I actually love Sweden! Although the winters are a bit cold ;) But I can live with that! :)

    I most certainly misspell words from time to time myself, nobodys perfect ;) But if I tried to write in Swedish, I would make no sense at all! :D

    I will remember the rules! And I will hang around in this forum until given clearance by a mod :)

    But you guys really don’t have to reply in English :) Swedish works just fine! :)

    Välkommen LizardKing! :D

    A shortcut to writing in Swedish is to use Google Translate. It won’t be 100% accurate (in some cases probably not even 80%) but it should be close enough…
    I hope your time here will be highly pleasant! :hippie:

    Thank you Hank_Moody! :)

    I’ve tried Google Translate a few times. I can’t tell what’s wrong of course, but my girlfriend usually end up in hysterical laughter :D

    But maybe I could put something like (but translated to Swedish) this in my signature:

    “Sorry that I’m posting in English. I can read Swedish, so there is no need to reply in English, and I can try to explain myself in Swedish if necessary.”?

    Crap, my secret plan of making you look like a fool failed! 😆 🙄

    Let’s hope an admin/mod stops by to give their opinion :)
    And yes, I think such a signature would be good to use, atleast the first month until everyone knows who “the dude who writes in English” is. ;)

    Eftersom du förstår Svenska och förstår reglerna så ser jag inga problem med att du postar på engelska i den svenskspråkiga delen. Som många skriver ovan så är engelska inte ett problem för majoriteten. Det segment svenskar som kan ha problem med engelskan är dessutom underrepresenterade på forumet (de som fick sin språkundervisning före WWII).

    Välkommen.
