Can someone point me to some examples of how the Swedish spoken in Finland sounds? I'm curious about its differences vs Sweden-Swedish.

I was told that I have finnish-swede accent, when I read swedish out loud to a swedish person


----------------

I know there is a duolingo board, but anyone use it? who learns swedish or speaks swedish? I need friends there.

För den som vill lära sig svenska lite mer seriöst snubblade jag just över den här sidan: http://learningswedish.se/courses/1

(A free online course in Swedish, run by the Swedish Institute, for those who want to learn Swedish more earnestly.)

Hello! I mentioned in my Intro post that I've been trying to learn Swedish - I actually just for the first time went on Duolingo five minutes ago. Would anybody who's more experienced with the language have any pointers or tips for me when it comes to speaking it, writing it, understanding it, etc? I'd really appreciate some help, since I have some problems with remembering words, pronouncing them (even in English, my first language! My family likes to poke fun at me for it, heh), and keeping track of different terms and such.

For remembering I personally use anki. It's a flash card application (I use it for Japanese) and there's often pre-made decks that you can import. If you're lucky there might be ones with an audio of the pronounciation.

Svenskar säger detsamma till mig.  XD  Jag lärde mig svenska i Finland, vid Åbo Akademi - så säger jag saker som "roskis" och "auto" och ibland "allena".  Jag använder också "vid" istället för "på" - till exempel "vid Åbo Akademi".  Nåt sådär.  :3

Menmen - har ni fortfarande en svensk grupp?  Om ni har den så vill jag komma med!

I had Swedish at school for years. I almost failed and passed only because the teacher didn't want to see my face again (yes, I was that much of an hopeless student). Now I don't remember anything from school-Swedish. My current Swedish skills come from few places:
1) Living in small bilingual towns (Finnish&Swedish) for majority of my life.
2) Using bastardized Swedish with my family (Smör mamma, julsex kommer tillbaka).
3) Duolingo.

I really like how Swedish sounds, it's like singing, and I want to learn it, but it's hard and my motivation have crumbled. I haven't even opened Duolingo for months...

Edit. When listening to spoken Swedish, I often understand what has been said or at least what was the topic. I still can't talk much myself, but I'm getting there. Slowly...

Can anyone give me a good "bad Sweedish" joke?
« Reply #201 on: August 27, 2016, 04:32:55 PM »
Ok - I have a character in a story of mine that knows all of two words in Swedish.  (hello or good day)  He has a strong hillbilly accent and I want to include a miss-pronunciation joke.  So far what I got is:

Lyman turned to greet the visitor and said "Good dog!"  His supply of Swedish thus exhausted he waved his assistant Franklin over to translate.

So are you looking for jokes that's only about Hello and Good day?

My character has learned one phrase in Swedish - and its some variation on "polite greeting".  The person he is greeting is a Master Painter if that helps?  "God dag" makes a funny miss-pronunciation joke in English as "good dog", is there a phrase he can mangle to be funny in SWEDISH?  Or is the mistake already funny on its own?

Thank you for the help!

I don't know if I am even allowed to post in here, since, old thread and stuff, but I just have to ask: Is there noone around learning Swedish anymore?

Because I have been practicing Swedish via duolingo and memrise for half a year now, and I am at a level now where I would greatly benefit from talking to Swedish people/people who learn Swedish as well.

Hej!
I learn Swedish with a textbook, entry level, but I need a person who would say if I'm doing the exercises correctly and maybe in listening? I also tried to duolingo and memrise, but it did not give knowledge.
This discussion is old, but maybe someone can help?

Oh, oh me! Pick me! I'm looking at teaching in an international school within the next few years, and I've just begun my journey of learning Swedish. If any fluent speakers would like to help me out through chatting via Skype or Discord, please let me know! I teach English Language Arts (and science, but, you know) and I hope I'm a fair learner... But I suppose we'll see how it goes.

So, a few people, either here or via message have contacted me that they would like to practice Swedish as well.

There were two suggestions for how to go about it, since no Swede has written to me yet:

1) It was suggested we use the Swedish language channel in the ssss discord to talk to each other.

2) The other idea was that we pick partners and write each other Swedish messages, in order to get into any form of writing Swedish more often.

Personally, I would like to try both. I can't promise how often I will be on discord, but talking to you guys sounds fun, too!

Swedish media subbed in English?
« Reply #209 on: July 20, 2018, 01:47:31 PM »
(I wanted to post this in the Swedish language thread but it's been dead for over a year and the forum threw a 405 error at me when I tried)

Anyway, I wanna get back to learning Swedish, and for this purpose, I'd like to watch media in Swedish, subbed in English. Ideally, something that can be watched online for free ;D Any recommendations? I'm down for TV series, cartoons, movies, documentaries, stand-up, pretty much anything that is somewhat interesting and (most importantly) subbed. Thanks in advance!
