Har Kommer Pippi Langstrump, Tjolahopp, Tjolahej, Tjolahoppsanna...



On Bryan's advice I'm trying to become more proficient in a foreign language and I'm gravitating towards Swedish. About the only stuff I can really sort of follow are the things designed for really little kids. I was pleased to find Pippi Longstocking in the original Swedish on youtube. Alas, the more you start to understand of a foreign language, the more you come to realize that lame dialogue and ridiculous storylines are not an exclusively American or Anglophonic phenomenon. It seems to be a curse of the human condition.
