You're welcome :D


I'm wondering about the rest of you, do you want me to go in and "correct" your Swedish when you write here? I don't want to be rude, but at the same time I know a lot of you want to learn so I'm unsure of what to do ^^

Jajaja! Definitivt! \o/ (Om det inte är ett problem...)

I am fine with you correcting anything I write. I think rya told me I accidently used some Icelandic words last time I said something in swedish oops :P

:sweden: hej alla! jag startade lära svenska ett par veckor sedan, på Duolingo! Jag också använder lite av Google Translate och Wiktionary (för specifika ord).

:uk: Hey everyone! I started learning Swedish a couple weeks ago on Duolingo! I am also using a little of Google Translate and Wiktionary (for particular words).

(I know Google Translate is bad, but it sometimes points me in the right way :p)
Also, please do feel free to correct any of my mistakes! And if anyone wants to add me on Skype or Steam or whatever and practice with me, that's alright too, just ask! :D

google translate is kind of good one word between english and any other language, however it is horrible for sentences. if you speak a minimal level of the language, you can use it, I use it almost every day between hungarian-english. whenever I need for swedish, I translate between english-swedish, never hungarian-swedish. it could cause huge confusing in that case.

Hej och välkommen! :D

Your written Swedish is really good for just a few weeks of studying! :) I made some edits to your text if that is okay ^w^

Hej och Välkommen!  Du talar svenska mycket bra, för en nybörjare!  Mycket bra jobb!

I have been learning on Duolingo for about a year now and have made a lot of progress.  My main stumbling block right now is vocabulary, and understanding spoken Swedish.  But I am a lot better on pronunciation.  I can even do that pitch accent sometimes. :)

I have also a basic knowledge of Spanish.  Been trying to work on that too, although sometimes it creates a blended language I call Svenspañol! LOL ... like when you use Swedish articles on Spanish sentences (Yo quiero en taco) or the wrong prepositions (Jag bor en Sverige) or use the wrong pronoun (Yo talar svenska) ... or wrong verb (Yo quiero talar sueco!) ... it gets hilarious.  Que es problemen? :)

I am not fluent in Svenska, but I can give some tips.

Jag gjorde det alltid när jag började lära mig italienska och försökte byta tillbaka till svenska... "Io kan inte parlare bara svenska adesso" osv. x)

Jag vill också alltid använda Memrise för att lära mig mer ord, men alla kurserna börja med några enkla och bekanta ord, så det tråkar ut mig.

Jag vet två webplattser för att lära sig ordförråd.

http://www.learnwitholiver.com ... it is free, but has lots of great vocabulary building exercises.  Jag använder det mycket!

http://www.babadum.com ... is a nice little web game for learning more vocabulary.  Covers 17 languages including svenska.

Finland-Swedish?

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

Here's a good example of André Wickström, a Finland-Swedish comedian.

For me the typical finlandssvensk is Mark Levengood, so here's a video of him and two Sweden-swedes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=355iqDE9-PM

Oh nice! Thank you both :D AquaAurion, thank you for finding a video which shows it with together with Sweden-swedish. I can hear some differences (the intonation doesn't go up and down so much and some of the vowels are different?), but I'm not sure how much of that is due to just differences between individuals. It is a good start nonetheless.

Since finlandssvenska is also known as "muminsvenska", here's a link to a Moomins episode in Swedish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G506jtSEzv8

You're welcome! I'd also say that the intonation is the main difference
