hehe, this is a good thing :) There are always so much funny things.
In Serbian, "kaka" means "poo", as young children say. :)
Also, Serbian word for God is awfully close to "bög", it's "Bog" :)

Hi,
I'm actually learning Swedish. I laud your efforts and appreciate them!
However, I believe you can go a step further by creating pronunciations for them. It will be of extreme help.
My 2 cents worth.
