  • Learn Swedish with Easy Swedish: Olof is out in Malmö to ask people what's typical Swedish :)
    GLOSSARY:
    Fika:
    Could be a verb: att fika (to fika) or a noun: en fika (a fika). To fika is basically ''to have a coffee'' but often accompanied with pastries. It's often when you take a break from something. Example: you've been out Christmas shopping all day with a friend and then say: ''Vi tar en fika!'' (Let's take a fika).
    Lagom:
    Could be a adverb: lagom mycket godis (a suitable amount of candy) or an adjective: temperaturen är lagom (the temperature is moderate). There is no direct translation, but it sort of means: a suitable amout of/moderate/adequate. Many swedes explain it as ''not too much, not too little'', and many think that Swedes are very ''lagom'', not too extreme in any way; that we're moderate.
    Jantelagen:
    ''Jantelagen'' is a bit related to ''lagom''. ''Jantelagen'' says that you're not allowed to succeed too much, you have to stay ''lagom'' (moderate, not too extreme)

They'll probably mention some dialects from up north too. Just like they have different dialects in the USA and The Netherlands

      @illyrian8330 Před 3 lety +11

      @@pauloketch4635 Ive been studying Swedish for a year on and off, so I hope you find some use in this advice: I would start with smth like duolingo to get the basic sentence structure and vocabulary down, since it forces you to come up with swedish sentences. you can go through the material quite quickly since a bunch of the exercises are nonsense, for example translating swedish to english because that is easy most of the time. After about 3 months of practicing english->swedish mostly, I think you can start watching videos/series/films that are swedish with subtitles ON. Research has shown that watching with subtitles on greatly increases your productivity in learning a language. If you're up for it, you can also read along with the subtitles, trying to copy the pronunciation. This is where I am at right now, I can understand 50-70% of spoken swedish, depending on the subject. When you can understand almost everything, its time to find a buddy to have conversations with to practice your speaking. After this point, im not sure what to do to get to an expert level, maybe reading books or start writing in a journal in swedish or smth like that. Just remember that a language consists of 4 elements: speaking, listening, writing and reading. The speaking and listening part are the most difficult, since it requires spontaneous and quick reactions to what was said. The way to learn listening is INPUT INPUT INPUT, and speaking, well, just find someone who has a bit of patience to talk with you:). Thats all i know about language learning so far, I wish you good luck, and NEVER think that its not possible, because it is if you keep on practising!

    • @thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038
      @thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038 Před 7 měsíci

      To be honest, Norwegian and Danish are a bit prettier than Swedish as the word endings are a bit prettier and the aspect looks a bit more modern, while Old Norse is a bit prettier than Icelandic because it doesn’t have that extra U before the R at the end of nouns / adjectives, so it looks more modern, but all Nordic / Germanic languages are super gorgeous, anyway, the prettiest and most refined languages ever with the most pretty words and the most gorgeous word endings and great letter combinations, so I highly recommend learning all of them / any of them / some of them, they are all just so magical and unique and distinctive! I am advanced level in Dutch (quite fluent) and intermediate level in Swedish / German / Norwegian and writer level in English and upper beginner level in Old Norse / Icelandic and beginner level in Faroese / Danish / Luxembourgish etc and the other Germanic languages, and I can also understand a lot of Swedish sentences and words already, even if I see certain Swedish words for the first time, because many times the Swedish word is similar to the Dutch or German or Norwegian or English word! It would be real great if there were Easy Swedish / Easy Norwegian / Easy Danish / Easy Icelandic / Easy Faroese yts and Easy Old Norse yt teaching vocab and grammar / prepositions / verbs etc!

    • @thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038
      @thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038 Před 7 měsíci

      In addition, I highly recommend learning all / some / any of these pretty languages, including all Germanic languages, such as Dutch / Norwegian / Danish / Swedish / Old Norse / Faroese / Icelandic / Norn / Old English / Limburgish / West Frisian / Gothic / North Frisian / Platte Deutsch / East Frisian / Luxembourgish / Middle English (and Modern English if one doesn’t know it yet) and the other Dutch-based / German-based languages, and the 6 Celtic languages, namely Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic, and Gallo / Guernsey / Galician and Walloon / Latin / Occitan / Aranese / Esperanto, and the Italian-based languages such as Sardinian / Pretarolo / Sicilian / Venetian / Neapolitan / Friulian / Corsican / Ladin etc, and Hungarian, and Slovene, and Finnish / Latvian / Estonian - these languages are super pretty and magical!

    • @thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038
      @thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038 Před 7 měsíci

      By the way, I highly suggest that they make Easy Languages yts for all these pretty languages that don’t have one yet, such as Easy Norwegian / Easy Swedish / Easy Danish and Easy Icelandic / Easy (Old) Norse / Easy Faroese and Easy Gothic / Easy Latin / Easy Norn and Easy Afrikaans / Easy Yiddish / Easy Burgundian and Easy West Frisian / Easy North Frisian / Easy East Frisian and Easy Luxembourgish / Easy Plattedeutsch / Easy Limburgish and Easy Welsh / Easy Breton / Easy Cornish and Easy Manx / Easy Scottish Gaelic / Easy Irish and Easy Gallo / Easy Guernsey / Easy Galician and Easy Occitan / Easy Walloon / Easy Aranese and Easy Sardinian / Easy Pretarolo / Easy Sicilian and Easy Neapolitan / Easy Venetian / Easy Friulian and Easy Ladin / Easy Corsican / Easy Ladino and Easy Hungarian / Easy Slovene / Easy SwissGerman and Easy Finnish / Easy Latvian / Easy Estonian - even tho they are more unknown, they are so pretty, and the pretty languages should always be prioritized and helped to become very known, and I am sure support groups (or ppl that would support the efforts to make these pretty languages more known) could be found on Patreon and other platforms that would help make these languages more known and help teaching them etc! Many of them have very few speakers at the moment, and resources / videos teaching them are very limited, which makes it very difficult for one to learn them - some of them could even become ‘unliving’ languages in the near future, so to speak, or unspoken languages, which would be very unfortunate, because these languages are so pretty, and should be included everywhere, and they should definitely be the focus on yt etc, as opposed to focusing on languages that are more popular or that have many native speakers or other languages that aren’t a pretty language with mostly pretty words! I also highly suggest that, if someone has the ability to get these languages added to Google translate and Duolingo etc, that he do that as soon as possible, because many of them aren’t on Google translate etc yet - for example, Faroese / Limburgish / Norwegian Nynorsk etc aren’t on Google translate, and Breton / Manx / Cornish and Gallo / Guernsey / Galician and Occitan / Walloon / Aranese and the Italian-based languages aren’t on Google translate either, and the ancient languages such as Old Norse / Gothic / Old English / Norn / Old Dutch / Burgundian and Ancient Latin etc also aren’t on Google translate yet, but at least Latin is - however, they should all be added to Google translate and Duolingo etc, and they should make Easy Languages yts as well as many other yts teaching them for each one of them, so that many can learn them easily, and so that they can become very known / more known! There are many who want to learn them, myself included - I am sure many will start learning them once they are added to Google translate and Duolingo and other language learning platforms and once Easy Languages yts teaching them and more yt videos teaching them would be made! I also heard that a lot of ppl started learning Welsh / Irish / Scottish Gaelic once they were added to Duolingo, for example - this indicates that many ppl would learn more unknown languages if there would be more / many resources on the Internet!

      It takes a lot of éxpòsure to the language (over a period of time) and learning many thousands of words and developing an automatic mode in the new language to become fluent, but luckily Swedish and the other Germanic languages are so easy to learn, the easiest languages, so one can get fluent quite fast in Germanic languages, in general, especially if one uses the right learning techniques, such as spaced repetition (watching the vocab and grammar videos multiple times over a period of time) and observing patterns / word ending etc! I am advanced level in Dutch (quite fluent) and intermediate level in Swedish / German / Norwegian and writer level in English and upper beginner level in Old Norse / Icelandic and beginner level in the other Germanic languages, and I can understand a lot of Swedish sentences and words already, even if I see certain Swedish words for the first time, because many times the Swedish word is similar to the Dutch or German or Norwegian or English word!

    Just a minor warning to foreigners! The interviewer and the others are Scanians and speak Scanian. Scania was conquered as late as in the mid 1600s, so there´s still a slight streak of Danish in what you´ll hear.

      Exactly. I don't want to sound like I am attacking scanians, but the scanian dialect is slightly different than swedish spoken anywhere else. That said It's not "another language" different, but someone that doesn't speak the language natively could (possibly) get confused.
