Learning Swedish in 30 Days 

I'm learning swedish as well, but i can't have access to as much resources as you do from my country, can you share your netflix with me, haha , i for real wanna watch ice age or any movie in swedish 😢

Deutsch 🙌🏻

Haha vpns are the best is all I'm gonna say 😂

yea i want to learn swedish also cause i want to live there and have a job there

I am trying to learn Swedish and I am, but I keep forgetting stuff. I use Duolingo and RU-vid videos, as well as Google Translate to teach myself words and phrases that I personally want to know. I have a Swedish boyfriend and am planning to move to Söderhamn to live with him. He taught himself English, but his family doesn't speak English. I've tried Swedish tv shows with English subtitles, but was unable to grasp which word was which. If I could really learn Swedish in 30 days, that would be awesome.

Haha thanks, maybe I'll do another follow up in a while!

That sentence blew my mind haha. Thanks for the compliment and the fun idea!

det är väll "Sju sjösjuka sjömän sköttes av sju sköna sjuksköterskor på skeppet Shanghai”? annars kan han ju prova "ställ stället i stallet istället"(har för mig att den är lite längre men minns inte :( )

Spanish is actually next on the list! Thank you so much and thanks for watching 😀

Hi, how is your Spanish going. I am just starting to learning Swedish :)

Thank you, and I'm glad to read that, lots of luck with Spanish! 😀

Thank you so much. Southeast Asia is definitely fascinating for its language diversity, and very cool that Wedee is learning a new language. Can definitely recommend practicing conversations, it's key to more efficient (and fun) progress. Thanks for watching and sharing. :)

Kan du flytande nu eller?

Ah thank you so much, that really means a lot! I'll keep working on it all for sure 🙌🏻

Thanks a lot 🙏🏻

Thanks a lot bro! Which language you gonna pick tho? 😄

@@SvenVee Still working on improving my french :)

Thanks a lot bro 🙏🏻

Thank you, I appreciate it 🙏🏻

@@SvenVee No problem bro

Tack så mycket

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it! Good luck with learning Swedish yourself, let me know how your progress is! 🙏🏻

hey, i want to start learning swedish as well but im kinda lost on where i should start at. could u help me? i was trying to learn it on duolingo but i feel im not learning it at all. if u can help me lemme know :)

@@pam5668 In part 1 of this challenge I go into detail about the basic methods that can be really useful to try out! It's a quick and simple overview there, check it out :)

Thanks so much. Feel free to share this video with your friends and fam :)

@@SvenVee tack så mycket!

Lmao thanks man 😂

Jag kan säga så här, ni kommer bli besvikna lol 😂

Thank you! New Swedish video coming soon 🙌🏻

Awesome! It's a cool language 🙌🏻

Yeah I've heard good things about babbel! Thanks for watching Anna :)

Thanks a lot man!

Tack så mycket, Josie :) Jag kommer förmodligen till Sverige inom de närmaste 6 månaderna!

No gimmicks required, I like that haha. That's awesome, that you're learning 2 new languages. Do you have any specific goals in mind for Swedish? 😀

@@SvenVee A good B2 is always the target goal. That usually requires getting familiar on a number of subjects of interest plus some general knowledge. When I go to Sweden to visit a friend of mine I hope that I will 'live' in the language with little to no English. What about you? Are there any future targets or next videos on 60 days coming up? All the best! :)

B2 is a really good goal man, would be awesome to get to that level. In what time span are you hoping to get there? I'm currently doing a big overhaul on my video production business as well as moving countries, so language learning is a bit in the back burner for now, but I am still planning on making a 6 month video at some point when I get there (albeit not linearly 6 months after i first started learning Swedish). 😁 I also want to learn Spanish and make a video about it at a certain point 🙌🏻

@@SvenVee with german and dutch we have the vocab advantage so the focus even from the beginning should be listening comprehension/pronunciation and speaking with natives. If I can keep this pace for the next 3 months I think I could be close. I will start having 1-on-1 sessions after a couple of weeks. I will see how it goes since combining Software engineering with languages can really leave you energy deprived. Spanish should be easier I guess. Checkout LingQ for spanish content the library is quite extensive. (I am not sponsored or payed from them, I just happened to use the tool a lot). Video production in different countries sounds cool by the way! xD

@@juanspada3904 ah yeah that's intensive for sure man! I'll check the app out, thanks for the recommendation 🙌🏻 Hey give me an update now and then on the journey, would love to know 😄

Hmm talk to locals as much as possible and listen to locals speak on RU-vid / tv / etc

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Thanks a lot bro :)

Hi Selhor! I just added the English subtitles, hope it helps. If you could make Russian subtitles, that would be amazing! :)

@@SvenVee Good. I will start make russian subtitles today.

Thanks a lot! :)

@@SvenVee Hi Sven, its my second account. You should permit the users add subtitles on your channel in customization s of RU-vid.

@@levonlazaryan55 That's amazing, thank you! Apparently RU-vid removed community contributions last year in September. But if you want, you can send the subtitles to me at hello@svenvee.com and then I'll add it myself. :)

Ja absolut! Det var mycket upptagen nyligen, men jag tränar fortfarande lite :) Kanske efter 6 månader av ordentlig träning!

Yeah songs are such fun tools for language learning! What languages do you have under your belt? 😄

Haha thank you 😂 Very cool you live and work in Sweden!

Yes I do, but title works better on RU-vid 🤷🏻‍♂️ Go for it, it's fun! 😄

@@SvenVee Maybe we can meet at a language café in Hanover someday once the whole covid thing settled down

Ah thank you so much for the feedback and insights. I'll look into those pronunciations. Thanks for watching :)

Haha thanks, but I think there might be a v flawed educational system in place then for French lol

@@SvenVee maybe, I can't speak English either tho

Hahaha this cracked me up 😂 They most definitely are 😂

Lmao yes 'mellon nín' 😂

Ah thanks for watching haha

Your original rude comment had nothing to do with constructive criticism and just assumed falsehoods about my intentions and process in this challenge. Before I started, I did in fact only know the 3 words mentioned consciously. Did I find out similar words/sentence structures whilst I learned the language? Yes of course, I did. But that's a given for anyone who spends about 10 seconds researching languages from the same language family tree (Germanic languages, roman languages etc). As for your backhanded comment about calling Nate drew a "legend", that was very obviously tongue in cheek and I even acknowledged the criticism he received for his video. If you don't like the challenge or think it's unimpressive, then fair enough, but that was never the point of the video anyways. I don't make these videos to show what a good job I did at any given activity. It's about documenting a process I go through and sharing the results of sticking with something for a given time. Everyone has their advantages and disadvantages for any given activity/skill/etc. I don't think there is ever a good enough reason to be putting people's efforts down and shitting all over someone's work like that. It says more about you then about the person you're verbally attacking. But by all means, share the video on reddit, if it makes you feel better somehow. I don't mind. I'd rather have a constructive discussion first though. Feel free to dm me on Instagram or mail me at Hello@svenvee.com

@@SvenVee First of all, I highly appreciate your reply :) I know my original comment was too critical of you. And I think I went overboard with it. For that I'm sorry. But if you've been in RU-vid trying to actually learn a language from scratch you'd know the feeling. The title of the videos should have been "how much Swedish I can pick up as a German speaker in X days". The truth is your experience is 100 times easier than someone who doesn't know a germanic language, and you do definitely sell the idea at least subconciously that anyone can do it you only know 3 words and you learnt so much in X days. If you wanna know what I mean, try speaking with a Japanese native after 7 days of learning Japanese. I think these are just things to be mindful about in the future :) but that being said, congratulation on your journey and achieving what you did. I will not share anything, I admit I was just impulsive with my comment :)

I appreciate you saying that and engaging in a discussion, thank you. I understand the frustration and embrace the criticism of my title. I am definitely also not a fan of titles that only give out a half-truth or just plain clickbaiting. Unfortunately, this ecosystem we find ourselves in rewards that because it gets more people to actually click and engage with the video (point in case here I'm guessing). I would love that to be different (as would literally any creator I've ever talked to), but if I want my content to be viable on the platform, I have little choice. I try to minimise it, but my livelihood is literally tied to everything I put online. I am self employed as a videographer/filmmaker/photographer and sometimes get paid leads from the videos I post, so if I want that engagement and the eyeballs on my work, I have to play the game RU-vid / Google / social media have made for us. Apart from that, I also think there are languages that have a generally higher difficulty degree than others. Japanese, Mandarin and Arabic are examples that come to mind, because their structures, alphabet and just general language system is vastly different to anything I am used to and are hard to master even for native speakers to some degree. That's just to say that I'll do my best to give a more nuanced conclusion in my videos at the end (big fan of nuance, to the annoyance of my close friends and fam sometimes lol), but of course I'll be forgetful and imperfect in my striving towards holistic conclusions sometimes, as well as - again - being limited in the time I can spend on conclusions because of viewer watchtime and the attention span of people that browse social media (myself included). I also, maybe naively so, hope/assume that viewers are generally filling in the gaps on certain bits of information that aren't explicitly mentioned or covered, or just that they don't assume any ill intent in my making my videos. Above all else, I do (maybe vainly so) hope that my videos generally motivate/inspire/inform or invite to have a discussion. Thanks again for engaging in a conversation with me, I do really appreciate it.

I know that video you're talking about. Great one! And thank you, I appreciate this conversation 🙏🏻

Haha yes, even better with a z tbh

@@SvenVee Bangelijk hoe goed ge Zweeds spreekt al wtf

Ay merci maat :)

Haha thank you :)
