Swedish crossword



Who would have believed it?
I not only finished one of those big crosswords
in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, but
won their symbolic lottery ticket too.
Quite proud of that!

Interesting where all those Swedish words are stored
in my brain.....
After all, my mother tongue is Norwegian, though my
mother's mother tongue is Swedish.

I could probably say both sentences and be right:
My mother tongue is Norwegian.
My mother tongue is Swedish.

I once heard that immigrants often learn their children's
mother tongue from their own children.
