My Best Language Study Tips · Slow Swedish With Subtitles

- [SWE+ENG CC AVAILABLE] I think it's so important to HAVE FUN while studying and learning new things. So my absolute best tip when it comes to learning Swedish is doing things you enjoy. Even if it might not be the "correct" place to start or exactly on "your level." The best studying is the studying that takes place, whether it's ideal or not.

Hi! My name is Katrin. I'm Swedish, but I'm not a Swedish teacher. Here on my UA-cam channel, I offer you videos about my everyday life in slow and clear Swedish, with English and Swedish subtitles so that you can practice your understanding. Välkommen!
-------------------------
Thank you for your amazing support!
Without you guys, this wouldn't be as much fun for me.
Lots of hugs!
♥ Katrin

Your idea of just speaking SLOWLY is SO HELPFUL. It really has made a huge difference in learning. I don't know why more language teachers don't do this also.
I'm a beginner learner and I found this video so helpful! I needed the subtitles on for the whole video but I recongnised alot of words. I've been using duolingo which is good but it is nice to hear it spoken by an actual person and hear a how a whole sentence is spoken. Thank you for making this video, it has made me more motivated.
Thank you so much for being so nice and friendly that you use your time to help us to get a better understanding of Swedish.
Tack🙏🏻
Det bästa som man kan göra är att ha vänner som bor i Sverige faktiskt. Jag pratar med mina vänner bara på svenska och det här får mig att lära språket väldigt snabbt, fast jag pratar och skriver med misstag då och då. Det är en jättekul upplevelse och jag hoppas att nån gång kommer jag förstå svenska perfekt när ni pratar för snabbt. Hälsningar från Prag.
Vet du kanske om det finns filmer dubbat till svenska? Det skulle vara intressant för att lära spraket.
@@javiluxekir92 dom dubbar inga eller bara några, det är därför dom är så bra på att tala engelska. Men det finns ju svenska filmer som du kan titta på.
@@Barthandelus-ep4tp känner du en? Och var kan jag titta pa den?
@@javiluxekir92 red dot, midsommar till exempel. Du kan kolla internetet, är säker på man kan ladda ner dom nånstans. Dom här är ju svenska filmer.

Understood near enough everything as a norwegian learner, amazing how similar the languages are.
Thank you Katrin!!! Im spanish and I'm learning swedish since 1 year and this channel is just I need to attune the ear to the language😺
I am a language teacher and you suggest a lot of what I tell my students of all ages (I've taught my own kids German from birth, middle and high school kids, and adults; and I am learning several languages). One tip for people in the US (and possibly elsewhere) - Disney+ has a huge amount of foreign language content, more than any other streaming services we've looked at, especially if you're looking for a language other than Spanish. Also, shows geared for little kids are a great way to boost vocab without getting bogged down by complicated sentences.
Funny note: Harry Potter was the book I used to take myself from reading and translating every phrase to just reading and understanding in a second language. I was doing an internship in Germany and literally went from having to have my host family translate movies during commercials and translating stories and conversation phrase by phrase to dreaming in German and just understanding the language in the span of two days (this happened about 6 weeks in to my experience there; one Wednesday I was incredibly frustrated and exhausted with my limited language but Friday we went to the theater and something just clicked).
And I definitely support the tip to just try it. I'd love to join the small groups but Patreon isn't in my budget quite yet. But speaking a language helps so much!
Hello madam I am from Bangladesh, I am trying to learn swedish by watching your videos regularly, thank you very much. 🇧🇩🇸🇪
Tack Katrin, I'm from Brazil and I'm starting to learn Swedish, a beautiful language, country, culture and people, its definitely a country that I will be travelling to when I have the basics of the language.
I will be subscribing and getting more tips to help my journey of learning a new language.
If someone is starting to learn Portuguese I will be more happy to help in any way.
Tack.
Thanks for your Slow Swedish channel. I spent a couple years learning Swedish with Rosetta Stone software basically because I loved Swedish movies. I don't know any Swedish people or have any relatives from Sweden. Anyway I found it hard to learn Swedish when there were no classes offered locally. This was 10 or 15 years ago. I have a lot of Swedish shows and movies on DVD. I live in Southern California USA. But I just fell in love with Sweden and all the Scandinavian countries but I picked Sweden to learn the language. I am retired now and it's been over 10 years since I was trying to learn Swedish, but I enjoy your channel very much and you have rekindled my desire to learn Swedish. Thanks again.
I highly recommend learning Swedish 2gether with Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic / Welsh - these languages are real fun to learn and way to pretty not to know, as pretty as English, so I am learning them all and all other Norse / Germanic / Nordic languages and the other five modern Celtic languages, and I always watch every single video with subs in my target languages!
Having fun is key! I had tried learning Spanish for years because it's what I thought I "should" do as an American who grew up in the Southwest, and who is half Mexican. But it didn't interest me personally so I never succeeded. I've been in a relationship with an Icelandic man for 3 years now and that language is so insane and there aren't many resources to learn it, so I picked Swedish to learn as a "bridge" to make Icelandic easier. It's been so fun and I've stuck with it every day for 6 months now! I watch Swedish shows on Netflix (my favorite is Kärlek & Anarki) and I found your UA-cam! I find Swedish recipes (and branch out to other Scandinavian things like smörrebröd). Makes it easy to want to learn. 😊
So true! And Icelandic is a cool language 😃
I highly recommend learning Swedish 2gether with Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic / Welsh - these languages are real fun to learn and way too pretty not to know, as pretty as English, so I am learning them all 2gether and all other Norse / Germanic / Nordic languages and the other five modern Celtic languages, and I always watch every single video with subs in my target languages, and Icelandic can be learnt from vocab videos (Go Learn) + Skáld lyrics + G translate + Icelandic subtitles, so I highly recommend watching every video and movie with Icelandic subs and in other target languages to learn new advanced words more passively because Icelandic vocab videos don’t cover all the words, and for Norse I highly recommend learning from Skáld songs + Norse to English dictionaries and English to Norse dictionaries from the Net + random yt vocab videos + wkp for the declensions of most verbs and nouns etc as most of them are on wkp, and I highly recommend using the vegan versions of smörrebröd etc! (But ‘réłationships aren’t meant for ppl, and there should be a distance between all ppl at all times and no śÿnńing, and words like man etc only reflect the pure protectors, and the word dude / dudes should be used instead!)
I know that Icelandic and Norse may seem very intimidating at first sight, but they are actually two of the top 10 easiest languages to learn, as easy as Norwegian / Dutch etc, with English being the absolute easiest ever in every way, plus most words are cognates in all Nordic languages and more than half of them are also cognates with the English / Dutch / German etc word, and once one knows the base word automatically, the different forms are easy to remember, especially if one also knows the different endings associated with each group of nouns / verbs / adjectives, as they all follow the same patterns and each group of nouns / verbs / adjectives etc have the same exact endings - I am upper intermediate level in Icelandic and Norse after only learning them for a few months more intensively, and I know over 5.000 words in Icelandic, so I am very close to an advanced level in Icelandic, and I have already learnt like eighty or ninety percent of the Icelandic words from the vocab videos with hundreds and thousands of words (Go Learn) that are on yt and all the Skáld lyrics, which was a great start, so now I can follow sentences easily and I can learn new words naturally from subtitles + G translate, as I tend to use G translate a lot as well, especially for Icelandic, as the Icelandic pronunciation is also very accurate on G translate, at least for 99% of the words, and it is way more accurate than the Danish pronunciation which needs major improvement on G translate because it doesn’t sound clear enough, so G translate is really great for learning Icelandic and for Dutch and Norwegian as well as they have very accurate and realistic pronunciations and so many words!
Tack så mycket! Jag är tysklärare men lär mig nu också svenska. Det var hätte intressant, att lysna på dig. Nästan alla ord förstods av mig🎉
Tack så mycket! I lived in Sverige 15 years ago and am trying to re-learn the language. So helpful hearing you speak slowly and amazed at how much I could pick up. Still a long way to go though 😊
It's great what you're doing with this channel. Listening to you I can understand almost everything, but when watching SVT play for example I understand
I can understand a lot of these words, like, over 70% or so, even though I don’t know as many words in Swedish as I know in Norwegian and German, but many of the words are similar to the German word or to the Norwegian word, so I can understand a lot in Swedish, in general, especially when I see the sub, plus I am advanced level in Dutch, and some words are similar to the Dutch word - I am like intermediate level in Swedish / Italian / French at the moment, and upper intermediate level in Norwegian / German / Portuguese and native speaker level in Spanish and upper beginner level in Old Norse / Icelandic / Welsh and beginner level in most of the other Germanic / Celtic / Latin languages and in Hungarian / Slovene etc!
Buenos consejos y recomendaciones, Katrin. Muchas gracias.
Tack så jättemycket ❤😊
I just found your channel, exactly what I am looking for. Marvellous
Du pratar jätte långsam, jag förstår allt. Tack så mycket
OMG, that's so weird. I did the same thing when I learned English back then (I'm French Canadian) and it really worked! What also helped is falling asleep to any English channels everyday for over a year and well dating an English native lol. ;)
Thanks for translating English
Nice work, Katrin! Although I haven't implemented it myself yet, a tip that I heard that I thought would be very helpful is to use a label machine to make and apply labels to everything in your environment with the words in your target language. Although it won't help with sentence structure, it should certainly help with vocabulary.
это шикарно, когда ты говоришь медленно. Правда ничего не понятно всё равно)) но мы пытаемся понять хотя бы отдельные слова.
Tack för att du skapa olika videor med slowly svenska språket 🌺👍
Tack for this video! I appreciate the fact that you say that everyone is here to learn and you should never feel bad for not knowing a word. ❣
Tack för dina super pluggtipsar👍💕💕
Tack så mycket por los consejos! Jag ska prova det . Tu canal es genial para empezar a escuchar sueco. Muchísimas gracias!
Tak så mycket Katrin for speaking slowly, I am trying to learn Swedish now and your channel helps me a lot. I am now subscribed. 😊
Vad kul! Hej, jag kommer från Peru! Jag förstår dig! Tack så mycket! Du är bäst! Svenska är mycket intresserad. 🤓
Love this. Really helpful… tack tack. Hi from Holland 🇳🇱🙋🏼♂️
Tack ❤❤❤
Tack sa mycket, Katrin! 🤩
Jag använder chatGPT och det är så jättekul!
Jag ber chatGPT att skriva en liten text för nybörjare (a1-a2) öm ämnet jag studerar just nu på Duolingo. Sedan ber jag om den lägger till speciella ord och fraser för att utöka den skapade texten och sedan ber jag om att använda några grammatikregler som jag också studerar nu. Sedan arbetar jag med texten.
ChatGPT even helped me to proofread the text above: I wrote an English version followed by Swedish version (both of these languages are not my first ones so I also improve my English!) and ask chatGPT to check the translation and suggest improvements. :)
Thank you for the video!❤
Tack så mycket för den här kanal. Jag kommer att flytta till stockholm i augusti för att plugga, och så jag är entusiastisk för att studera språket också. Förra året jag pluggade i finland och det språket är jättesvårt jämfört med svenska lol
Du är bästen ! Tack så mycket för alla dina video:ar !
Jag förstår inte alt men ganska för att bli glad att lysnar dig.
Tack, tack igen !
Omg. I'm sooooo glad that I found you! ❤ tack så mycket ❤
It's really explained so nice, i hope soon i can express my self in full Swedish 😀
I like so much the way you're talking and thinking.. you are charismatic (and amazing)! 😊
Katrin, please keep up your great work! It is so inspirational and incredibly helpful.
Great tipps! But be careful when you pick your poison. For some reason, I got hooked on the show "Leif & Billy" (SVT has a lot of cool stuff to watch, even when you're outside Sweden). After watching every single episode, I can now curse like a pro - but not much else. :D I wish there was more Swedish comedy WITH SUBTITLES on UA-cam to choose from; I seem to have a hard time finding it.
Hi,pls upload a video everyday.Ur videos are very helpful for me. I am learning swedish only through watching ur videos and I really feel that I have improved so much after watching ur videos.
När jag lärde mig spanska, jag läste också Harry Potter. Om du köper dig en kindle (paperwhite till exempel), du kan bara "touch" varje ord på skärmen och då dycker upp översättning på ditt språk. Det är jättebra och mycket snabbare än att använda google translate. Jag har läst alla Harry Potter böcker på spanska och till den sista kunde jag förstå allt mycket bra utan att slå upp så många ord. Nu gör jag detsamma på svenska och jag hoppas att det fungerar lika bra 😅
¡¡Podcast!! No sabía que tenías Podcats. EXCELENTE!🎉
No lo encuentro 😞
If you're still learning Spanish I recommend Dreaming Spanish, I'd really like if you did superbeginner videos like they do, but for Swedish.
Buena suerte con tu Castellano!
Herregud, jag kan inte svenska, men jeg lærer meg norsk og forsto nesten alt du sa i videoen! Helt koko :D
Girlllll I know this video is old but I really leveled up my Hindi the EXACT SAME WAY with Harry Potter! I know it by heart in English and the hardest part was reading the English words written out in Devanagari but my vocabulary exploded!!!! I’m going to try to find Harry Potter in Swedish next!
Tack så tusen. Du är kul!
Big big thank to you for videos like this! Absolutely game-changing for Swedish learning :)
I’m a beginner. I’m trying to read and watch many different things in Swedish, things that make me curious to understand what it’s about. My algorithm on Insta (where I found you!) gives me a lot of Swedish content. I also try to read Swedish newspapers on line. I also found a few Swedish children's shows on UA-cam though I can't make heads nor tails yet of understanding it without subtitles. Books in Swedish are hard to find here (Netherlands), unless they’re e-books.
För mig det fungerar bäst att lära språk om jag kan hitta en intressant videospel som har audio och text på det språk som jag vill studera. Att ha kompisar som kan öva med mig är också jätte fruktbart.
thank you ! from USA ❤️
Tack så mycket för en bra video!
Tack, tack.
Katrin Berndt is adorable, Queen Katrin Berndt is the best
Jag älskar dig, tack for allt!
Tack så jätte mycket för informationen
Thx … Harry Potter is a really really good tip cause I know the books almost by heart - in English and German… 😂 so it will be a great help in comparing sentences when stuck with Swedish…
… also as translator try deepl … much better translation quality than the g… one!!
Hablo español, sé ingles y aprendo sueco🤗 thank you for the tips 😬 tack så mycket 🤭
tack så mycket
tack så mycket!
I do the same as you with a book that I have read and enjoyed in English, and I read the same one in Swedish (sort of side by side, but I try to understand the Swedish version first, then when I get stuck I go the English version) and so I save myself the task of looking up individual words and I can have the translation for a phrase or a turn of speech.
Excelente ! Entendí casi todo a la primera escucha ! Learning songs helps a lot in pronunciation and rhythm.
Omg yes I completely forgot to mention listening to music! I do that a lot too. 😄
Snälla, fortsätt att göra de här videorna :) Eres la mejor!!
Jag köpte också den första, andra och tredje Harry Potter-boken på svenska för att förbättra min svenska 😊
Tack så mycket 🎉🎉
Tak sò mycket! So patient!
Hola Katrin, gracias por tus videos, he aprendido mucho sueco. Me da gusto que quieras aprender español, si quieres puedes practicar conmigo, el español es mi lengua natal. En este video te puedo entender como el 50 por ciento de lo que dices, ya que también hablo alemán e inglés, entre otros idiomas. Un fuerte abrazo.
Hej Katrin, tack för dina videos, jag har lärt mig mycket svenska. Jag är glad att du vill lära dig spanska, om du vill kan du träna med mig, spanska är mitt modersmål. I den här videon kan jag förstå ungefär 50 procent av det du säger, eftersom jag även talar tyska och engelska, bland annat. En stor kram.
I tyckte mycket om Vanja barnbok. Det var enkelt sätt att påminna orden. Jag kommer ihåg väldigt länge om "Räven som smyger" . 🙂
Hej, tack så mycket.
Do you suggest using Duolingo for beginning rhen moving to a book?
DuoLingo is not perfect, but it's a great start in my opinion! :)
Fantastic! 😀
Bra tips. Jag hade inte tänkt att skapa min egen flashcards lista.
Amazing video!! I'm very interested in Scandinavian languages and I've been researching about Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish. However, I can not decide between Norwegian and Swedish. Which one would you consider the most influential or practical in terms of having access to the Scandinavian culture in general? Thank you very much!
Tack så mycket för videon!!❤️
Du är so vacker!!!
Nice du är, tack så mycket
You can just change the playback speed to 50 or 75
Pretty good.
En annat tips är att titta nyheter på din målspråk, om du redan vet nyheterna för idag på din morspråk. (I hope that is mostly understandable...lol)
Otro consejo es ver las noticias del idioma que estudias, especialmente si ya sabes las noticias de hoy.
tack so mycet
Tack ska du ha 😊
V fin tack
Jag älskar dina tato
More than wonderful performance
Thank god you exist
"En helt vanlig person"? Nej! En helt vänlig person!
Hej! Kan du skriva i kommentan vad heter den appen. Jag är tacksam
Hej 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
2:44 could you please tell what word was that I've heard as skrivibididog? I know that att skriva is to wright, but skibidi dop dop yes yes this was never a thing I might expect from Swedish speach ahaha
There are Swedish subtitles too :)
just trying to pass my Civil servant swedish test. Tack för tips.
I find chatting with a friend on Whatsapp or similar very helpful. It’s interactive, but if I’m missing a word I have time to look it up
👏👏
jag undrar om det finns nån som spelar COD på consol eller nåt liknande och vill spela och prata svenska, kanske är det en bra ide. :D
Hej, var kan man hitta min patreon
Tack så mycket .Om jag förstår allt vilken nivå ska du ge mig ?
Hej! Ingen aning. Jag kan inget om nivåer tyvärr. ☺️
awsome video. I´m studying swedish, and also bought a book from Sweden. And I listen much swedish - podcasts and playlist in swedish almost everyday. And I also talk in my thoughts with myself using swedish (like - "Jag ska plugga svenska nu" and so on :D
God dag.Jag börjar läsa bok till barn 3-4 år gammal.sedan läsar barnbok till 5-6 år.och så vidare.Jag åkso läsar Hary Poter på svenska.fyra bok.jag löna från min arbetsgivare.fårstos,jag titar film och lysna lot.
Pro tip. Learn sentences not words.
Find / translate a sentence where you do not understand max 2 words and play it with.
Like:
I am.
I am hungry.
I am hungry a lot.
I am hungry a lot today.
I am thirsty a lot today.
Are you hungry today?
......
Hej.....jag tror att de som följer dig inte bara är engelsktalande, så jag tror att det vore bättre om jag istället för att lägga översättningen till engelska ser att det är bättre att sätta orden på svenska, och så de som Vi förstår inte ett ord av att höra det, vi kan se det skrivet..tack
Det finns text på svenska och engelska på varje klipp. Du behöver bara välja vilken du vill ha. 🙂
Super bra
Hur man kan jag har en svenska vän om att prata med? Omoglit.
I'm new
man undrar när du tatuerar pannan ?
Nu var jag nog inte riktigt nyckter när jag svara ! pelåt 🌹
