Baby squawk

My sweet sister-in-law recommended a youtube video months ago, in preparation for the coming baby. I watched it then…and after Sophies arrival I watched it again.

Recommend everyone expecting a baby to watch it….helped me A LOT!

For those of you who don’t have time to watch the whole video, here is the essence:

  1. neh” – hungry (w/sucking reflex)
  2. owh” – sleepy (oval shaped mouth)
  3. heh” – discomfort
  4. eair” – lower gas
  5. eh” – burp (air in the upper body)

What is the Norwegian language coming to?

With the feeling of being a stranded whale lately I’ve spent a lot of time being a couch potato. And as a result of that I’ve had a lot of time to read quite a numerous amount of blogs and online news. I’ve never been a nag (at least I think so myself…) about correcting others spelling and grammar.

But lately…what has the Norwegian language come to??? Don’t “people” even try to use some kind of spell check before posting anything? Steaming mad

Kinda disappointed that reporters in major Norwegian newspapers can write articles with HUGE spelling and grammatical errors…

Luck of the Irish

With Paddies’s day just passed in the weekend I’m in an Irish mood. So when I came over a song I haven’t heard for a looong time, I thought I would share it with you…

It’s by The Corrs, remember them?

“Beannachtai Na Feile Padraig Oraibh” (Hope I got the spelling right…)

English it is …

After a night thinking about it…English it is.

This way both family and friends get to read my posts without “help” from Google translate.

Hmmmm...


Now that my blog is created I don't know what my first post should be...
First decision, what language to write in? English or Norwegian?

Living in Oslo, Norway my first thought was to write in Norwegian. On the other hand, with my family being from Singapore, English? (Chinese is definitely out of question....being my vocabulary is limited to about 100 signs)
