Somehow this #bookmail isn't as exciting as the others. I also exempted it from my book buying ban 😒 oh well.
tricours I translate for a higher ed website that keeps going on about GMAT and preparations and I'm just so glad I don't have to take it myself 🤓 8y

thec0zy @tricours I'm thinking about going to business school. Or at least, I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life lol. And taking the GMAT seems like a good idea to cultivate options. What languages do you translate? 8y
tricours Sounds daunting 😬 I don't translate much anymore, I live in the most expensive country in Europe (Norway) and translate into another language (Swedish), so it doesn't pay well enough... But if I do translate, it's mostly Norwegian, Danish and English into Swedish, with some very occasional French and Russian. But that pays even less... 8y
thec0zy @tricours that's amazing!! I want to learn more languages (besides English, I only know dead languages). Are there many similarities between Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish? Or are they very different? 8y
tricours Bokmål Norwegian and Danish are very similar in writing, and Swedish is quite similar to them ?Which dead ones do you know? I've also studied dead languages! 8y
thec0zy @tricours Latin, Ancient Greek, and a veryyyy rusty smattering of Old English! I keep meaning to add some live languages 😊 which ones have you studied? 8y
tricours The only ones I can actually read in are Old Church Slavonic and Old Russian, but I've studied some Ancient Greek and old Norse too, however without any proficiency... 8y
thec0zy @tricours Oh nice! I always wanted to check out old Norse, but my college didn't offer any courses. The library was a little scant too. 8y
tricours The old Norse class I took at the university of Oslo was so bad! It's obligatory for teachers of Norwegian in Norway, but they don't particularly like it, so it was full of uninspired 20 year old girls and the level was kindergarten:ish -- whereas I wanted an old Norse for historical linguists kind of class... 😩 8y
thec0zy @tricours that sounds so disappointing! And there was only that course, no ability to opt into a more in-depth level? That's so cruel. 8y
