Ändrar bloggspråk till svenska — Blogging in Swedish

Jag har gått gan­ska länge och fun­derat på om jag borde byta språk på bloggen och skriva på sven­ska. Har nu bestämt mig för att göra det. Den främ­sta anled­nin­gen är att jag själv uttrycker mig mycket snab­bare och ledi­gare på sven­ska än på engel­ska. Anled­nin­gen till att jag från bör­jan valde att skriva på […]
