Tack for hjalpen!

Hi, old friends! Back after a lengthy absence from A/N, and once again toying with immersing myself in the task of learning this wonderful language. I have the Pimsleur program, but I'm wondering if any of you has a better suggestion. I can't afford Rosetta Stone, which I suspect is superior in terms of guided programs. I am always on the lookout for Swedish speakers in my area, but so far no luck. Thanks for the help!See More

Hey, great! I look forward to seeing it. I've been looking for someone to start a discussion on "My creative side" (or something similar), where people can share original work.

Greetings, Vitomama! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus since Dec. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

I've asked them how they would go about showing evidence for the non-existence of the dragon in Carl Sagan's garage or Russell's celestial teapot. They assert that the analogy is false, but don't explain how. They use words like 'logic' or 'inference' as if they were magic charms without fully understanding what these words mean. It's not unlike superstitious primitives from a cargo cult…See More
