Vad är i flaskan? (What’s in the bottle?).

[Svenska]: i dag lärde jag mig
December 4, 2017
Today, I learned that ‘om’ is the prefered preposition to talk about distance in time to a future event. The exercise I did used a sentence ‘De betalar om ett halvår’. I would have used ‘De betalar på ett halvår’ or ‘De betalar i ett halvår’. I saw the comments on the post here, but am not convinced that ‘De betalar i ett halvår’ could be taken to construe ‘They pay for half a year’. Shouldn’t that be ‘De betalar för ett halvår’ instead? I’ll try and ask around!
[Svenska]: Learning Swedish
September 30, 2017
I’d enrolled myself into Swedish language classes a while ago, but had to miss many classes due to a work related trip abroad, and it was hard to keep up with the rest of the classmates after that, so I’d discontinued the lessons. Now that my wife has arrived in Sweden, I thought it would be a good thing to start brushing up on my Svenska again.
