So you‘re telling me that the ONE year I was actually rooting for Sweden THEY WERE ROBBED?
WHO VOTED FOR SWEDEN I WANNA HAVE A WORD WITH YA
My hatred for Sweden every year in May
Week 1 of my publishing internship done ✅
I read 3 unpublished books this week I guess that‘s pretty cool?
You gotta be kidding me...
WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS, SWEDISH???
So I guess I‘m gonna be a speech therapist??? I just got accepted into a very well regarded school and I‘m kind of freaking out
How has it been a year since I made a post?? Anyhoo I‘m very much having a deja vu because yet again I have to write two papers in 3 weeks. Wish me luck
Help me make one thing clear, wie nennt ihr zu einer homogenen Masse verarbeitete kartoffeln?

Hatte grad ein yelling Match über Kartoffeln und Obst und MUSS ES JETZT WISSEN. Schreibt auch gerne dazu was ihr gewählt habt und aus welcher Region ihr kommt!
not me having to write two 20 page papers within two weeks...
I’m currently trying to stay on top of everything while also trying not to overwork myself. I’m also completely running on diet coke (to stay awake) and chocolate (to stay sane) by now which is not healthy for me... But after this I will finally have a 2 week break before starting my thesis! Very exciting times :)
How to remember the gender of a German nown, a guide by me
Do I know it by heart? If yes, profit! If no,
Do I know an Icelandic cognate? If yes, profit! If no,
Panic
Had to re-write an essay I failed and absolutely hated it. At least I have cool looking notes now…
Langblr Secret Santa
Hey @noerttiprinsessa I’m your @langblrsecretsanta this year :D
I was told you like cooking and baking so I looked for some christmas recipes in your target languages! (Except for Finnish because I don’t speak a word of it, please forgive me qwq)
Tea Time!
Hi @panneband! I’m your Secret Santa this year :D I’ve never studied any of your target languages, so please forgive me that this post is more about culture than languages themselves… You said that you loved tea - so do I! Therefore I thought I’d make a post about some tea habits in countries that you’re interested in :) I hope you’ll enjoy it ^^
* * *
☕ South Korea
tea (drink made from the leaves of tea plant) - 차 (cha, hanja 車)
Korea has a long-standing and rich tradition of drinking tea. You can read about the history of Korean Tea Ceremony (darye, 茶禮) or just watch the video of the ceremony performed by tea master Yeonok Kim:
You can also check these 10 recipes for “strange” Korean teas :) (and maybe later try them out? :))
☕ Russia
tea (drink made from the leaves of tea plant) - чай (čaj) m. inanimate
I found this informative video about the history of tea and tea drinking habits in Russia :)
* * *
Now, in every North Germanic language, tea (a drink) translates to: te :)
☕ Denmark
I couldn’t find much information about Danish habits concerning tea, beside the fact that generally people in Denmark prefer green tea (source). However, there is the Danish Tea Association and they have a youtube channel, which I think is worth checking out if you understand Danish :)
☕ The Faroe Islands
Again, I didn’t find much information about tea-related habits on the Faroe Islands, but you can read about Faroese food in general and about the heimablídni, which translates as home hospitality, and it’s a possibility of a dining experience in people’s homes! When reading the menus offered by the families which participate in heimablídni, I noticed that some of them offer tea after dinner, or even more specifically, tea with milk :)
☕ Sweden
Coffee is much more popular in Sweden than tea, but you can read about Swedish tea culture in this blog article.
There is also the Söder tea - a Swedish blend of tea made from black tea, tropical fruits and flowers, invented in 1979, and apparently still popular, not only in Sweden.
Regarding a somewhat more unique approach - I found an interesting recipe (and a beautiful video) from Jonna Jinton:
☕ Norway
Nope. No tea, only coffee ;-) Obviously, there are tea shops in Norway and people who drink tea, but from what I’ve read, it’s the coffee that’s The Thing there. You can read an interesting article about the coffee culture in Norway here.
☕ Iceland
Again, from what I gathered, there is no tea drinking culture in Iceland. However, you can read an article about a special tea exhibition/experience which was held in Reykjavik in 2014.
* * *
So this is it! I hope you found something interesting to you in this post :) I wish you Happy Holidays with lots of tea, chocolate, and everything else that you love :)
Figured I should learn cursive eventually...
So today I finished reading this book:
It is about 660 pages long and I read it completely in Swedish (the original is Norwegian), and it took me a bit over a month to finish! I‘m proud of myself :)
I really liked the story and the world which was all based on norse mythology. Very interesting and I’m happy that I was able to immerse myself in this world even though I read it in my fourth language. I’m excited for the sequels :D
