Here's a weird question for you: If you were to listen to a beginner speaking Swedish etc, would it be possible to recognise which learning method / app / whatever that person is using, just by how it sounds and what words they use? and is there a relationship between language learning and being a singer / musician? I should probably ask someone with some kind of "ology" but don't know anyone. 🙃 Sorry if I broke your brain / this isn't relevant or whatever.
i guess im asking randomly but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any tips you can give me.
Hej då Joakim! Gog morgon från Grekland. For me, the "secret" in learning and speaking a foreign language, is to think only to the language you're trying to speak, to "forget" your native one and not to translate, for example Greek to Swedish and vice versa. Tack so mycket. Yiota...
Beginner here. My greatest difficulty so far has been with pronunciation. For example, "gratis" and "grattis" get me confused all the time. The thing is, in my mother language (Brazilian Portuguese) the word for "gratis" is pronounced exactly (or almost, depending on the accent) like "grattis". Another compounding factor is that Brazilian Portuguese is relatively forgiving of how it's vowels and some consonants are pronounced, so we generally have a harder time hearing the subtle differences in the more stringent languages like the Germanic ones. On the upside, we can pick up Spanish and, to a lesser degree, Italian relatively easily.
That's super interesting. I'd say that, the double consonant isn't as important as trying to at least get the vowel length right. The vowel qualities are different there, meaning the a in grattis and gratis are two different vowels.

Thanks for all the details you've provided. It's so helpful for me being beginner. I started to get introduced to swedish a few weeks ago and I'm going to be fluent sometime. I really appreciate your job
Another great video. I struggle with the Swedish word order a lot. Not because I default to English word order, but because I just can't remember all the rules for Swedish word order (like in bisats, for example), so I sometimes just guess, and usually get it wrong.
Yes i already do this mistakes 🤣 . But aAmazig - arabic - English and now swedish , all off them are different , my teacher says " do not translate " but i compare between these languages all the time .
Zwietracht Trupp! The theory that even native speakers of another Germanic language make these latin word order mistakes makes a lot of sense to me if I think about it. I had Latin as my first foreign language in school and a few years later English and French. So my brain is conditioned to use that word order when learning a new language. Even though I just need to make myself clear, hey just use the order like your used to in your native tongue. Thanks to the lifelong plasticity of our brains we can still form new habits though. We just need to keep repeating it the right way.
I can't help noticing Joakim made basically sound like bazically. Or is it just me? Great videos, Joakim. It is super helpful for people who already know the language for a bit or two. Not fo rthe new beginners, so to speak. Thanks!
Very off-topic topic question. The word for the number 6 can also be used to mean intimate relations. How can I avoid the ambiguity when, for example, trying to explain that my car is so spacious that I could easily have 6 people in it?
There is never any ambiguity. We don't say "man kan ha sex i bilen" (you can have sex in the car) when we're talking about how many people are in it. We say "det får rum 6 personer i bilen" (six people fit into the car) or something.
Inconceivably good video, thank you Joakim! Btw, how many words that have got various meanings despite of emphasis (like *anden* or *biten*) does Swedish have? If we are talking about Finland Swedish that's almost without harmoning emphasis (akut 'n' gravis), how can you define certain meanings for those words mentioned above? Please, let me know.
There aren't that many pairs and they don't matter much. In Finland there isn't this distinction and dialects realize these accents in different ways. The grave accent in one dialect might sound like the accute one in another. So it does not interfere with understanding. However, if your pronunciation is very, very good it will come off as very strange when you use the wrong word accent.
Thank you for teaching, and I loved the reference to the old song ( who put the bop in the bop she bop she bop). Why are so many people commenting "discord squad?". Private joke? I'm looking forward to more videos.
@@sayitinswedish Oh, come on! You definitely are. By the way, I started taking Swedish classes and now you're like my second teacher Haha. Best regards from Chile 🇨🇱
I was waiting for something like funny advices but this video is more like a hard criticize to people who make the effor to learn your language. If you have taught for 11 years I don't see that experience as teacher.
Weird that you take it as criticism when i don't critize anyone in the video. I'm making people aware of the errors basically everyone makes. Nowhere do I say that anyone is stupid for it. The mistakes are common for a reason. So what I say in the video is useful stuff. Just listen and learn instead of taking the video as personal criticism.
No matter how well you speak a second language, little mistakes like this will slip through the cracks once in a while, even though you know the correct idiom.
@@sayitinswedish I had been in Sweden for about two months. My gf had been back six months (I came later because I had to renew my Irish passport). We were going back and forth between Swedish and English. She had not spoken English to the degree she did when she lived here before coming to the States. We were babysitting her infant cousin (we lived in the apartment above her parents). Her mother asked what she was doing. Gunnel said, with Swedish words but English grammar, "I'm giving the baby a bath." It sounded okay to my ears, considering my level of Swedish. But it sounded odd to her mother.

Im also greek and whats funny is that im using english to translate it to swedish 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for the intresting edge of Swedish!
Jag gillade det första, fjorta och sista tipset. Tack så mycket!
This is what sucks about duolingo. As a German speaker, skipping english would make it so much easier, because the word order is closer.

Yes, sometimes it turns into bazically. Whatever.
Kan du förklara hur ”även” används?
"Även" betyder "också" eller "till och med".
Kan man använda heter för saker också eller det är bara för människor? Som exempel ”bilen heter Volvo” eller ”bilen kallas Volvo?”Vilket är rätt?
Ja visst, man kan använda heter om andra saker också. "Det finns en hemsida som heter UA-cam"
Bra jobbat 🇸🇪🇦🇺🇵🇱

How is is easy it for a sweed to undrstand norwegian and Danish which is closer and how much can u understand
Depending on the dialect and practice we can understand almost all of it.
The use of heter is phonetically more convenient, honestly.

Name of person is noun basically!
It doesn't make any sense to use verb as I understood which I learned ..dont get me wrong.
Sorry, I don't follow
when is the second place not the second word?
When the first place includes a whole phrase.
