This is a link to one of my favorite comics. They are usually written in English, but this one isn't. I picked it because it shows several different languages at once: Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Icelandic, English and Chinese. What I found interesting about the comic was just the different languages and it made me curious to know those languages as to know what they are talking about. And to also explain why they had that stuff on their heads. It may not effect the world, but I just thought it was funny and hoped some other people would look at this wonderful comic sight. The artist does a lot of informative comics that talk about different issues in the world in a satirical way.

It's great, trust me (Even if you can't understand this one comic). =)

Introduction

My name is Jessica O'Cheltree, I am 20 years old. I enjoy reading and writing and because of this I am studying to become a book editor and author. I spend my time with my friends, my sister Teri, reading and writing. The only language I am fluent in is English, but I am being taught Swedish by one of my closest friends who is from Gothenburg, Sweden. Also I took four semesters of Spanish in high school, unfortunately very little stuck with me. I am taking ENG 213 because I thought it would be beneficial for my major which is English/Creative writing. I also am taking it because it sounded interesting. My experiences with language are stated above but I will repeat them: I have a friend from Sweden who is teaching me Swedish as well as having taken Spanish in high school. I also know a few words in Italian and French.
