A few tips to help you learn the language:
- books for children. They have a simpler language than books for adults, so getting used to the language is less of a problem. As you learn you can increase the level of complexity of the literature you read. Just don't skip over Asterix in Swedish: it usually contains a lot of references to other things (both visual and in the text) and some puns as well. I find them worth reading, even if I am over 45 years old, and native in the language.
- crosswords and other word games. They will teach you vocabulary and spelling. Do as with reading books: start with things for kids and progress upwards.
- use what little Swedish you know, and fill in with English when you don't know the words. Just the fact that you use Swedish will help you learn more.
- use your hobbies: try to find a club that does (one of) your hobbies. Join it and get as stuck in as you can, speaking as much Swedish as you can. What you actually do is less relevant, as long as you get to meet other people and speak Swedish doing your hobby. By keeping it to your hobby you will not feel like it is a burden on top of everything else. You could join a sports club, a photography club, stamp collecting club, scout group (which would help you learn about the Swedish nature as well) or any other kind of club/society that require interacting with other people.
- listen to radio shows. Obviously you should concentrate on the shows with less music and more talk, but a bit of music might help lighten the mood a bit. You can also watch TV-shows. Depending on the show, it could give you an insight into Swedish history and culture as well as the language. The few I know are on SVT: Så ska' det låta (entertainment show based on music) and På Spåret (general knowledge quiz show, with questions varying between difficult and impossible). There are articles on Wikipedia about both of these shows, as well as a lot of clips here on YT.
" or any other kind of club/society that require interacting with other people." .. r u sure ur from sweden?...JK..lol,...not a bad idea use any hobby/interest...
Love to follow your days in Sweden, especially since i live in Malmö too. If you have the time and possibillity, go North for a few days during winter to escape the grey weather in the south, we dont want you depressed already girl =) Also try finding a simple job or some courses to take, easier to get to know Swedes that way i think.
Yes. We are always listening and watching /SÄPO.
You said that you need swedish to for example study. You might want to know that at some Swedish universities there are international courses and programs where the courses are in English. It might be something to look into if you want to study. My master's program was 100% in English.
I'm not in Malmö but I hope to visit sometime! I'm in Stockholm but if you do another meetup and it's nice weather (maybe in the spring) I'd love to come and just have a little mini vacation in Malmö. I'm American too so I'm just super interested in meeting other Americans in Sweden :)
🙌🙌🙌🙌
A "stenbrott = quarry" where you want to swim is a place where they have been taking Stones and sand. Then over time it's been filled with water.
♥️
Get a library card. There are sort of "newspapers" in easier Swedish. I don't know if that's for you, but some people use them to use their Swedish - alsi, as someone saud, there's books in several levels.. childrens books, youth books... other than that, just use your Swedish and listen to Swedish... that's the fastest way to learn, usually.
Hahaha!!!
Så en podcast på youtube:D
Du fattar att jag kommer inte att skriva på annat än svenska nu?Jag gillar dina videos.
Haha igen :p
Hi Kimberly 🇸🇪cool that you are back in sweden i hope you get the sun good to get energy to the dark December Januari februari 👍🏼 the hardest if you are self and think you have to talk every second thats the reason why you get drye don't bee afraid of to bee silent and trye to find your normal talk rytm ask your boyfriend hi know who your normal talk rytm 👍🏼👍🏼 when you talking in your pod now its sounds like get payed on every letter you sound out lol and Kimberly you are beautiful so nobody care if you don't talk 👍🏼👀🇺🇲🇸🇪 and when you say SFI in us style is way better than Swedish Sfi. 🇺🇲🇸🇪
Suggestion:
Besides watching english program with swedish suptitles.
Watch/Listen to swedish moves/show with english subtitles,
u will never learn how to pronunciation just having the words.
also have the tv/radio running in the background when doing something else will get ur brain accustomed to it..and/or try speak swedish with who ever...learning the words and thir meaning is one thing, the hard part is pronunciation.
One important thing..
DON'T be afraid use swedish however crappy u r at it...u must to learn...and it is probably appreciated... most swedes would take the extra time what ever situation it is...
another thought...i know PRO(Pensionärernas riks organisation) (Organization of pensioners) used to have events to meet and talk to new immigrans or 'meet a swede' events...just to talk the language, maby thir exist more of those i dunno, prob also a greate way to have cultural interchange and integration goes faster...ask ppl at that event u will have...maby some has other greate ideas or know...
Iam sorry i live Very far from Malmö i live in Högsjö (Södermanland) … i would love to meet you one day!!!! ♥️
For Sweden

For those who don't understand the context: it's the motto of the current Swedish king: "För Sverige i tiden".
While there’s something to be said for SFI what will be the fastest way to learn (at least conversation) is just try to use Swedish. But as has been established since Swedes are fairly good at English and are too happy to speak English it’s very hard to make us speak Swedish.
När jag var i Tyskland i våras blev jag först tilltalad på engelska, men de flesta gick över till tyska, när de märkte hur bra jag var på det. Dock har jag en känsla att det inte kommer att hända i första taget med Kimberleys svenska🤡
Btw. What happened to your SFI class? Never started?
I was put on a waiting list. Still haven’t heard from them!
Keep up the good work!
You live in Malmö ? Start to stady Danish, Thats closer to the way they talk in Skåne 😂
This was news to me. When I was a SFI teacher I had an Iranian student, he said: Jag behöver förbättra min grammatik. And I had students who couldn’t speak a word in Swedish. How was I supposed to teach?
Lots of people here tell you to read swedish, I would say it's better to listen to swedish, that way you learn the right prounciation, how it's spelled is not how it's said. Swedes learn english mostly by watching english movies and tv shows with subtitles.
Snart kommer du att drömma på svenska. 🥰
Lycka till hos doktorn.
To learn å. ä .ö. Four = Får , Care = Bär, First = Först.Det är ingen översättning av ord utan uttal av bokstav. Ni som inte har ÅÄÖ så säger ni redan med dom bokstäverna på engelska.
jag antar att högkostnads skydd inte finns i usa???
Lived in Malmö before moving back abroad and I would of met you at this meetup, if a gay man would be an exception xD
I totally get that of course your focus is on Sverige, but as you're learning svenska you might also think learning something with a wider context or usage as Skandinaviska.
I include the following in swedish as a small language exercise for you:
Det har länge varit självklart att använda svenska för kommunikation i Norden, särskilt med de närbesläktade nordiska språken norska och danska. De tre språken har sammanlagt c:a 20 miljoner talare, och de blandvarianter som ofta används i dessa sammanhang brukar kallas “skandinaviska”. Svenska är det ena av Finlands två officiella språk och danska är skolämne på Island, Färöarna och Grönland. Nu tar engelskan dock alltmer över rollen som kommunikationsmedel över nationsgränserna i Norden, särskilt bland yngre talare och särskilt utanför Danmark, Norge och Sverige, där skandinaviska fortfarande håller ställningarna gentemot engelskan.
Why should you learn Swedish? We love to speak english.

Sweden ? LoL Last time I went there I thought I stepped on the wrong plane and landed in North Africa, I would not recommend anyone to go there. way to dangerous, and clan and gang wars everywhere in the streets. Well bring a bullet proof west , that is my recommendation.
Vem tror du att du lurar? Du heter TrollGubbe. 😆
🤣 Yeah its so dangerous 😂
I can NOT recomend living there
