Trying to learn a new language is never easy. You can read books, use online courses and programs to practice your reading and writing, day and night. But then you travel to Sweden, and people start speaking to you in their native tongue. No matter how well you know our grammar or how correct your spelling is, understanding a person speak a language at any pace, can be a challenge if you don't get the chance to practice.
This is where my videos come in!
I produce videos in very clear and slow spoken Swedish paired with Swedish and English subtitles so that you can practice your understanding at a pace that suits you!
If you're still learning Spanish I recommend Dreaming Spanish, I'd really like if you did superbeginner videos like they do, but for Swedish. Buena suerte con tu Castellano!
Jag vet att jag kommer lite sent på festen, men jag undrar hur det gått under året sedan du spelade in den här videon! Hur har din Patreon utvecklats och ändrats? Vad har du lärt sig och hade du möjlighet att göra det om, vad skulle du göra annorlunda? Jag ser din Patreon som det är nu och tänker vara med! Jag hoppas det betyder att saker och ting går tillräckligt bra för dig när det gäller pengarna du tjänar på den här kanalen.
Great video, but where in Sweden did you grow up? In other words, what dialect do you speak? Stockholm, Southern, Northern? Just in case not all these tips tranfer to all regions of Sweden...
Your idea of just speaking SLOWLY is SO HELPFUL. It really has made a huge difference in learning. I don't know why more language teachers don't do this also.
Can you (or someone else who knows Swedish well) tell me, why sometimes jag is spelled "joa" (with an open O) and sometimes "joag" (with a clearly audible G) ? Thank you!
Det här hjälper mig mycket. Jag behöver träna på att lyssna på någon prata svenska. I det här fallet utan undertexter. Jag insåg att det är en av de svåraste sakerna att göra i språkinlärning.
Question: how can you measure your own knowledge? How do you know how much you know about a certain subject like a foreign language for example? You can take language proficiency tests but you need to pay for them, and they are usually offered only a few times a year. There may be free tests, quizzes, exams on the internet, but the quality of these tests may be suspicious. Even if you could get high scores on these tests, that may mean very little. I have been studying Swedish for the past 3 years every day for an hour, mostly by translating song lyrics. I keep track of the number of songs I can translate in one hour. Right now on average I can translate 8 songs per hour. Even though I am mostly reviewing songs that I had translated before, there are always words that I don't remember or I am not sure and I want to check in the dictionary. My goal is to become faster and faster to a point that I can read entire texts without consulting the dictionary. But there should be a better way to test or measure my own knowledge. I am against using ANKI or flashcards to learn a language. But at the same time, tests like flashcards seem to be the only way to measure your knowledge of a certain subject. How can you measure your knowledge without using tests, quizzes or exams? For example, many youtubers claim to be fluent in a foreign language. But they may offer no concrete or objective evidence or proof of that claim They may say a few sentences in the foreign language, but that doesn't mean they are fluent, it just means that they memorized those few sentences. How can you objectively and precisely measure someone's knowledge without using tests, quizzes or exams? Is that even possible?
that’s so interesting that in swedish you have a phrase that translates to “I have it on my tongue” because in English (in america at least) we say like “oh, it’s on the tip of my tongue” when we’re trying to think of something that we just can’t quite remember
