“The German biathlon-the police arouses both curiosity and shame,”
“Tv-element with the German police allowed me to feel pride. And shame.”
“Suddenly, she stands there in a SVT broadcast, a happy German police in Stuttgart who, together with four colleagues should help the Swedish police to keep track of the biathlon-the audience during the world CUP in Östersund, sweden. She speaks almost perfect English (with a preposition fell away here and there) but in a slightly strange way.”
“The German police, Marei named she arouses my curiosity. Why can she Swedish? A search on the net shows that she seems to have a cottage outside Stockholm. Perhaps she has family in Sweden, or so she has grown up with Astrid Lindgren’s books as godnattläsning while she hugged her mjukisälg as uncle Dieter bought on a trip to Värmland, perhaps she has swallowed the Sweden-to celebrate the films of Inga Lindström.”
“Or is it something less stereotyped than that which has brought Mareis craze for the English language.”
“I understand that my fantasies about Marei is based in a kind of diffuse national pride: Think that she is from the great country of the major language are interested in our small country and small language. But I also feel that I am a little ashamed on all of our behalf that we could not reciprocate her love.”
“I’m a bit of a germanofil, at a comfortable sound level, but the general interest in German and Germany is low. Last year was reading 18% of students in year 9 German. A reduction by half compared to 20 years ago. It has been the German-Swedish chamber of commerce to bet 5 million to support schools that want to bet more on the German. Beautifully so, but it is difficult to become interested in something you are not exposed to. Therefore, it is gratifying that the SVT in recent years, been quick to buy into the German quality series: ”Weissensee”, ”Tannbach”, ”Deutschland ’83” – and now ”Das Boot” as Karolina Fjellborg’re reviewing here. Also, read the Jan-Olov Andersson’s review of Germany’s Oscarsbidrag ”Never look away” here.”
“I am going to stream ”My dad is Toni Erdmann”, add nin an order on the Nina Hagens autobiography, and repeat a few strong verbs.”
