lingo

Swedish is a crappy language. I mean, it works great here, but it's not really understandable once you leave Sweden. (Unless you go to Norway or Denmark, but those countries don't count here.)
At the moment I'm cursing my Swedish heritage because it makes me unable to understand the Dutch in all the job-adds I'm checking. Knowing English doesn't help me either and I haven't spoken proper French in 5 years so I'm not really sure I can count on that either. I know that I'd be a winner as soon as the employer meet me (after all, I have skills even if I don't have a paper that shows it), but searching for a job in a country where you don't speak the language seems rather stupid in my opinion. Of course, I could always take a course, but I doubt that'd really help me. I think that I need to move there and actually speak to people. I think that's the best way. It's a shame I won't be able to pay for my living just by moving... then I'd have it all sorted out.
