"Jag tyckar om ol og kvinnor."
This is pretty much the biggest part of what I still remember after a Swedish language course I took some long time ago.
You must have the *thing* for acquiring new language knowledge. I'm getting through my 11th year of learning English and still have problems with it.
Not to mention German and Spanish, but these I know at a less-than-elementary level.
Actually it's "Jag tycker om öl och kvinnor"
What do you mean when you say having the thing, do you mean being entusiastic or have a natural talent for it?
I think it depends mostly on having good teachers.
I really wanted to learn spanish in the beginning and I got perfect results on the tests. Then I had a worthless teacher who was really terrible at spanish, then it went downhill.
It seems most Spanish teachers in Sweden are like that, because when I chose Spanish in High School none of the other students knew any spanish either from 4 years of spanish lessons.
