It is! I'd say that's one of our biggest hurdles right now; some of our members are in North America and others are in Finland/Sweden and I think one person was in Japan? There's not really a time when all of those people are awake, sadly XD But  we will figure something out, I promise!
You called? I won't be back in Sweden until August, but I could help if people need someone to proof read or something.

So lately I developed a serious music-crush on Kent and decided I must learn Swedish (this is a thing that keeps happening to me). I was very happy to find this thread, and the lessons are bite-sized and not intimidating and pretty awesome! Will there be any more? Is any minnion learning Swedish right now?

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?

Ja, tack!  Jag lär mig svenska för min semester i juni.

Yep, quite a few in fact! Mostly they/we hang out here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=250

Hej, alla!Hej alla,

Jag heter Dave och jag är från USA.  Jag lära mig svenska bara lite veckor.  Jag går till Sverige och Finland på semester i juni -- 5 dagen i Stockholm, 4 dagen i Mariehman, och ett vecka i Åbo och Helsingfors.

Jag är ledsen för min dåliga svenska.

Nej nej, din svenska är helt bra! :)

Two things I picked up on:
"lite veckor" - seems a bit confusing, since "lite" means "slightly" or "a little"
i.e. Jag är lite hungrig just nu = I'm a little hungry right now.

går is commonly used for places you are/could conceivably walk to. I don't know if there's an english equivalent...
for places that are farther away you would say åker (to ride/drive) or reser (to travel)

välkommen dave! jag skulle säga att vi är en jättevänlig klunga, och jag tror att om du stannar här ett tag kommer du att lära dig mycket från vår grupp av svenskar och svenskstuderande. var inte ledsen! jag kan förstå dig gott.

om jag skulle tillägga något mer än det solovei har redan föreslått (och det var allt bra!), är det bara några få saker som minskar inte min förståelse:

pluralformen av dag är dagar - man säger då t.ex. "5 dagor i Stockholm." och artikeln till vecka är en, inte ett. men de är bara småsaker. du kommer säkert att klara det!

Tack!  (Just don't ask me to actually pronounce this stuff properly -- it's bad enough I speak French with a German accent and German with a French accent!)

Hur säger man "a few" på svenska?

No, I don't think there's really an English equivalent. "Go" would be correct for any of those.  "I am going to the store" "I am going to the next town" and "I am going to Sweden" are equally correct, although I could say "I'm walking to the store," "I'm driving to the next town" and "I'm travelling to Sweden".

"Reser" -- very similar to "reisen" in German (Jag talar också tyska ;)) 

Tack också för hjälpen!

Tack gode Gud för Google Translate...

Så mycket ord det jag inte förstå.  Men jag kan lär mig!

Argh.  Ja. OK.  Dag/dagar.  Det är min tyska :/ 

Ett/En.  På svenska, har substantiv kön?  Engelska har inte kön för substantiv.

Well, you can say "ett par" which means a couple or (literally) a pair.
"a few" is more closely translated as några
i.e. Det tar några veckor = It takes a few weeks.

Kolla den här topic där en svensk lärare förklarar de svenska könen: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=340.msg26896

Long story short the masculine and feminine genders have merged into a common gender. Where there once was 3 genders there now is only 2: common (en) and neuter (ett).

You can also use "några få", which is basically the same, but tends to indicate a lesser (but undefined) amount than "några".

Mmm...so någ by itself must me something like "some" right?  If memory serves, någon is "someone" and "något" is something?

Nej, du måste minnas dem. :)

Men, substantiv är mestadels en-ord, så om du måste gissa, du kommer att ha bättre chans om du välja "en".
