*sneaks in through backdoor*

still open for another beginner?
I tried learning swedish a while ago, about three years I think. I've recently gotten started on duolingo, main motivation being that my best (swedish) friend comes home from NZ in august and has invited me over. I'd love to surprise her by talking swedish with her mum! :D

I'd probably only lurk around in the beginning, but I've figured out a learning timetable and I'd love to get talking as soon as possible!
Curiosity is the most powerful driving force in the universe, because it can overcome the two biggest braking forces in the universe: reason and fear.

I will do my best! :D I signed myself up for duolingo and am poking around for some more resources, but meep, pronunciation is coming hard to me. Kvinna? The "Kn" consonants are so soft!

Here's your friendly neighbourhood Swede... The correct expression is "Du kan klara det!" Klara = succeed; gör[a] = do, make. This is one of those instances where some words may appear correct, but don't work in a proper Swedish sentence, and which requires a pretty intimate knowledge of the nuances and meanings of words with similar meanings.

So, if I understand it correctly, you'd say "du kan klara det!" when encouraging someone? Would it still be correct to use göra in the sense of "kan du göra det?" Like, are you able to do (something)?

That's correct. Full marks! :)

You usually ask "Tror du att du kan klara det?" ("Do you think you might succeed?"), and not "Kan du klara det?", which sounds subtly more questioning.

Hello everybody!

I noticed that some people in here are trying to study Swedish. I happen to be a teacher with my main subjects being Swedish and English (though I teach Swedish to native Swedes and English as a second language). I think I could probably help out with some basic lessons, and at the very least I could always answer questions as best I can.

Anyone interested?

I will!

I was thinking I could post some basic grammar rules, stuff like that, since I know somewhat how the language works. Vocabulary is easier to pick up from other sources. :-)

Yes please! :D We also have a weekly-ish skype chat if you're interested in helping with pronunciation as well.
