How to learn Swedish in 1000 difficult lessons

My friend A., the former model, is now working for the Swedish version of the television program "Big Brother."

She told me that every single one of the 2,000 or so female applicants who applied to be on the show stated that they were bisexual.

I had no idea that there were so many bisexual Swedish women wanting to make names for themselves in reality [sic! sic! sic!] television.

The Swedish word for the day is förvånad. It means amazed. (The Swedish word for the day should be something that would translate to incredulous, but it's not a word I know.)
