Take a long term perspective

After working in Britain my Swedish girl-friend and I decided to make a life in Sweden. We moved back two months ago and I am currently learning Swedish as fast as I can. It's not easy as I am waiting to get on a full-time language course and therefore have to teach myself at the library every day!Anybody who is contemplating living abroad must take a long term perspective. I know that, at the moment, I understand very little and being unemployed compounds that problem but as time goes on I will understand more and the rewards are there! Wish me luck!

Good luck! I am also in the slow transition of learning Swedish.
