I am supposed...

...not to speak, write, think or even dream in Swedish for three days.

Effective business English is the title of the course that I'm attending this week. And I assure you - it is effective.

"You're all going to have a headache at four thirty", the teacher promised.

We are eight lucky (sic!) persons who have got this golden opportunity to dig into the deep nutritious English language soil in order to be fighting fit (no - you must not say "fit for fight". That's Swenglish.) to turn business meetings, writing CVs or socializing at a conference, into art.

There are so many occasions that can go wrong. Even writing an e-mail becomes scary after this.

It's hard. It's good. It's fun. And very, very necessary.
