Swedish language group

[Tap10lan]

This is great! I was aware of this friendly rivalry between the Nordics from reading SATW, and it's always fun to find out new aspects of it. I wish we could get a person from each nation to comment with their opinion on the other languages

It's weird what beer does to people...

Hej!

I'm in Sweden this summer but everybody around me speak English… Does someone want to practice basic Swedish?

Hej Troposphere!
Our skype chats were at one point a weekly thing, but now it seems like they're gotten a lot sparser as people go on trips and stuff over the summer. That said, I know I would be totally fine with it If you're not into actual voice conversations (I for one am reduced to a pile of awkward noises if you ask me to speak swedish out loud), you can also pop into the IRC chat, we have a few swedes (LarsB, Windfighter) or Swedish-speakers (myself, Ruth, Ryagami, Kjeks) who hang out there

Tack Solovei, I don't have skype but the people on IRC are amazing!

Du kan väl skapa ett nytt konto på Skype.

Det tar mycket lite tid att göra och vi skulle vara glad att ha en ny person med vilken att prata.

I would love to join to the skype group and maybe learn swedish, but I am scared now from a group.

my swedish sucks, I basically use my computer, my phone in swedish, so I understand them mostly, but I could not talk to a person.... my vocabulary is like knowing "create, new, search, error, message" or something basic computer stuffs..... looking at my phone, it says "draw your finger over the screen for ____ up"..... mostly my swedish is like I can understand if i read, because they are similar to english or german, but I also learnt some words from using computer/phone in swedish. I have watched melodifestivalen for years now, and I basically can understand they basics they talk about, like "you can vote not, we have a result, you can vote in text message or call, number 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10" some few other stuffs they talk about, and I am so happy when I get a joke they say! e very year it is better. first time I understood noting, last time I understood like 40% of the show or more........ out of 40% there was only like 20% I actually got right the rest was more like I could guess what is happening, or what they say
I was also trying to watch swedish kid shows I found and tried to understand (it was nice to see them with subs, i understood more then without it)
and I never actually tried to SPEAK... I never actually tried to speak much, if I did I used dictionaries or something for words. I can't create any sentence by myself in swedish......

I've formed a very small Swedish language group, namely with my American fiancée (Talonvaki on this forum). The difficulties in learning Swedish are several. Pronounciation is one major obstacle, as well as where to stress the syllables. She is determined to learn Swedish, though, as she is to move to me in Sweden. But learning a new language when you are 50 is a bit harder than when you are in your teens, even if I've met immigrants who have picked up the language in half a year.

It just takes more work.  I learned what I know of French and German in my 40s and I've only just started Swedish recently. 

Pronunciation is a bear, men jag kan skriva och läsa lite.

I'm definitely better at reading and writing Svenska than I am speaking and hearing it...

Jag också.  Min svenska är bara lite.  Jag var i Sverige två veckor sedan men jag tala där engelska.  Jag kan inte förstå svenska

does anyone know a site, where I can watch tvshows or child shows online in swedish (would be nice with subs [swedish sub is okay too])
I used to watch some shows on svtplay.se (with swedish subs), sadly many blocked or some shows has only 1-3 eps and the rest of it is gone already, not even always the first few eps.

_{Ooooooo the Swedish thread has been dug up again! Woop!}
Ehh well the only thing I can recommend right now is watching Jordskott on dailymotion. It has quite good English subtitles (although apparently they get a tiny bit sloppy towards the end). The show itself is hard to describe - it's sort of like a mystery/detective genre with some fantasy elements thrown in, set in a forest. I've watched a few episodes, and so far it's been really good. The only thing I would warn about is that it has a tiny bit of gore, which might not be your cup of tea.

Here's the link. I hope it works for your region!

Jag är inte säker på huruvida det var nånsin inlagt här, men det finns en spellista på YT av vissa svenska filmer med undertexter: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKkDjgBOPjWEk0q4oWEw7iTUs-8GwAYap

Jag hoppas att det är hjälpsam!
