Well, it may LOOK good sometimes. I think I spell most of the words right
and sometimes I even get the grammar right, but I never seem to be able to
say what I really want to say... I just know too few words, so a ten word
sentence in Swedish may be twenty or even thirty words in English when I
desperately try to avoid those many words that I can't translate... Maybe
that leads to misunderstanding too, I don"t know, but it seems like it
sometimes. I also have troubles to pronounce the words, but that is of
course a matter of practice. I never need to speak English here, so I never
do that... Maybe me and my girlfriend should select one day of every week
for an speaking English only day...

But thanks for saying that. At least it makes me feel a little bit better.

My father never taught me Swedish, Norsk or Danish,  he wanted to
be Canadian.  But I would say that your English ranks right up there,
that is, to me, it is better than some of the English first language that
I
have seen (including my own).
