After moving to Sweden from Scotland a few years ago, I felt it was time to share my experiences with adapting to the culture and learning the language.
I'll try to keep each video focused on a topic or theme and write it in the title.
I hope you enjoy watching/listening. :)
In case you are wondering, that is me in a kilt in my profile pic and my clan is MacNeill.

Kex or Shex? What is the Swedish "K", how is it pronounced and why is it so difficult to learn?

Perhaps more Neil Connolly, or Billy Oliver, or Neilly Conniver... I was on Öland in Sweden and felt inspired to do a wee impression parody thing. It was just so very coasty, you know?
Falska Gäss "Drunken Piper" Söderköpings Gästabud 2022 - Intro in Swedish (English CC)
Переглядів 2502 роки тому
Music starts at 1:03 I missed the first part of the speech where the musician stated that (contrary to popular belief), bagpipes are not just a Scottish instrument. They have become known around the globe as something inherently Scottish, but their history and development seem to be very far spread. I did a little research myself and found quite a few theories. The origins are believed to date ...

Wow! Helt fantastiskt vad bra svenska du pratar😮 Efter 7 år bara? Och börjat lära dig som vuxen? Beundransvärt 🥇👏❤
@@ewaengstrom1640 Tack ska du ha! 😊 Nu är det 10 år också, kanske dags för en uppdatering. Ja, det gör det lite svårare som vuxen då det är lätt att ifrågasätta språkregler o.s.v. som man inte förstår, eller inte håller med om. Tack igen för dina fina ord, mycket uppskattat ❤️🙏
Dom is better than to write dem everywhere say all my teachers, because dom can never be wrong!
@@noelmeijer8095 Although I can understand it in terms of making things easier, the definition of the word "dom" with that spelling has nothing to do with either "they" or "them". What course are you doing?
@@kiltedswede my swedish teachers said it! XD
@@noelmeijer8095 Well just ask your teachers the definition of "dom" then! xD
@@kiltedswede Hahahaha I should do it XD
I know I'm late but the Öland and Åland wasn''t quite right. It'needs an even stronger stress at the beginning of the Ö and Å. Similar to how you stress the O in Poland.
I just checked and I heard it too that so I know what you mean. I was deliberately putting more emphasis on both the Å and Ö however, as it's what helped me learn. Saying both normally today I don't sound like that.
If you want to skip to the KEX/SHEX part: ua-cam.com/video/k4ViEIVX1gk/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared&t=447
I’ve been struggling with this word for like 4 days 😂
I can understand that haha 😂 it's often difficult when you learn what is "correct" and everyone does it differently. 🫣
Whoa! Jag har aldrig hört en en engelskspråkig person tala så bra svenska, kudos! Du har till och med lyckats få till vår "pitch accent" som de allra flesta aldrig lär sig.
Tack så mycket! Jag har alltid haft ganska lätt att härma dialekter och olika röster och det underlättar när man lyssnar och försöker kopiera/härma. Betoning var ju ändå mycket svårt i början och det tog lång tid innan jag fick "känslan" utan att behöva tänka på det.
You really nailed that "and"
Du pratar riktigt bra svenska kungen
Tack, uppskattar det verkligen
My parents are obsessed with bagpipe music. Every year I follow the bagpiper when I carry the haggis on Burns Night.
Oh! Yes, this was extremely helpful. Especially, since you spelled the words. Along with saying the pronunciation. You see, IM learning Swedish. I happen to B totally blind. The spelling of the word along with your pronunciation as I mentioned previously, was extremely helpful it actually made sense! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your kind words! I very much appreciate it. If I am able to help others by sharing my own experiences, it makes it all worthwhile. I like to imagine what would have helped me understand quicker in the beginning and present it in that way. You are very welcome, thank you for watching!
Wow bra jobbat! Jag håller på att lära mig Gàidhlig som svensk.
Tack så mycket! Jaha det låter ju roligt, är det bara för att ha kul eller känner du några som kan språket? Även som skotte känner jag tyvärr ingen som kan!
@@kiltedswede bara för skojs skull.
Now what's the difference between O (when pronounced as /o/, and not /u/) and Å?🤔
Good question! Those can be difficult and easy to mix up, especially o and u. I cover all the letters in my alphabet video, but I'll do another one to answer this and go into more detail.
