Will's Swedish is honestly INCREDIBLY good for someone who's only been here for a year and he sometimes even drops the Swedish pronunciation for some words to that degree that I can't even tell that Swedish is a secondary or tertiary language for him... Props to you, sir!
Ja, Wills uttal på "prioritet", var rätt första gången. Stefan rättade honom till fel uttal. Will säger "lära", Stefan säger "lörna", (försvenskat 'learn') och där säger Will rätt på svenska.
@@designstinamarshmallow9868 sant men det är ingen tävling, vi behöver inte jämföra. poängen med första kommentaren var ju att will’s uttal är riktigt bra.
Wow! Will måste ha lätt för att lära sig språk och han har väldigt bra uttal👍🏼
ibland kan han uttala gräjer fell som jag henger mig up på, fask själv kan jag inte stava NÅGRA ord i svenskan så jag ska inte säga not- XD
Stefan, for some reason you are more fluent when you speak Swedish, but for some reason your friend got the strongest Swedish accent. Haha
Håller med
Yeah Stefan speaks fast and easy and knows a lot of words but with less good gramatics and pronunciation. Whereas the friend has incredible good pronunciation and grammar but selects words careful. Clearly two different ways that people approach a language, I have seen it before, it is very interesting.
@@hnorrstrom totally
Aa
I agree with that too 😃
En amerikan som pratar svenska med dansk brytning är väldigt roligt att se! Bra jobbat båda två!
Yep! Han har mer Dansk brytning än Amerikank 😂😂👏👏👏 stephan du får akta din rygg för han kommer springa om dig ganska snabbt 😂😂😂
I as a Swedish person find your videos about Sweden very interesting. I love seeing the view of a non Swede living in Sweden and their opinions about the country and the language, so i really appreciate you making these types of videos :>
Jag är imponerad av svenskkunskaperna efter nästan ett år i Sverige. Ni har båda bevisat att det går att lära sig svenska och få kunskaper för att kunna klara sig i Sverige. Mycket jobb och envishet ligger förstås bakom, så bra jobbat!
Will's swedish is so good omg, it sounds like he's speaking swedish with the northern accent
and there's some accent from dalarna lol
He knew danish beforehand so its a danish accent
Vad härligt att höra er prata vårt märkliga språk! Ni är jätteduktiga! Danska ... förstår jag knappt alls. Ett hopplöst språk ;)
Wow your Swedish is amazing, well done!!!
Han pratar verkligen bra svenska!
Really interesting video. As some have noted in the earlier comments, Will's prononciation is actually insane considering he's barely spent a year in Sweden. Though that might have to do with him actually understanding and speaking Danish earlier.
Great video guys. Tusen takk! I'm a Dutchman living in Amsterdam. I visited Stockholm and I speak a bit Norwegian which came in handy. Maybe it's a nice idea if the both of you travel to Norway, speak Swedish and make a video about it. See how that works out. Ha det bra!
Hearing Swedish as someone who studied Norwegian is like hearing an English speaker with a Dutch inflection to it. Very interesting!
4:16 his reacktion before hem reaslised what he ment were incredible
Sjukt bra video! Har alltid varit mycket intresserad av att höra folks dialekt när dom lär sig svenska som andraspråk i vuxen ålder. Gillas starkt! Ni är suveräna, sjukt kul att höra er snacka med varandra!
Nice video! My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!
Wow,,, mycket bra Svenska efter så kort tid. 👍🥳👍
Uttalet och rätt grammatik kommer med tiden. Huvudsaken att våga och göra sig förstådd. Känner engelsmän i Sverige som förstår allt, men vägrar prata svenska.
Exakt! Det blir ju bakvänt liksom🤔
well, it's a little embarrassing to try speaking swedish in sweden as a foreigner
because the natives often switch to english the second they hear something even a tad off.
Wow you can not tell he is American on the accent. This guy's good.
"I spoke swedish, he spke danish, and some english to bridge the gaps"
Well... Många Svenskar byter gärna till engelska när vi pratar med Danskar med för vi fattar verkligen ingenting av vad dom säger xD
4:16
"men tänk om man är en kock..."
"Vad SA du!?"
"En kock, alltså en kock som lagar mat på jobbet"
"aah en kock!"
hahahah
This must've been awkward, I feel very awkward speaking English with Swedish friends, speaking Swedish with an English friend should be just as weird.
Not everyone is the same
Only a year and he's that good! That's really impressive! Even the pronunciation is good
Wow, Wills uttal va fantastiskt för någon som bara pratat svenska ett år. Ok att han har hjälp av att kunna danska, men danska låter verkligen inte som svenskan. Jag är grymt imponerad.
How are you all doing with the particular rhythms / prosody of speaking Swedish- I’d like to see a video about that!!
Fantastiskt, Stefan!! Du har bra ordförråd👍🇸🇪🎶 Pronunciation is always a challenge but on the other hand no one is really gonna be bothered by it. Accents are just fun😃 Keep it up!
I haven't spoken Swedish in almost 30 years. When I hear natives speak it, it's difficult. When I hear you guys, it's much easier for me to follow.
I am swedish so i understand perfectly, i am AMAZED by your guys swedish! it is honestly amazing :)
This was fun to look at because I’m from Sweden.
I've been studying Swedish for a year and a half now...it's really hard to find people in the US that I can practice with. I plan to move there eventually, but right now...learning happens in bursts. I can understand everything you two are saying...I'd love to chat one day.
nice concept!
Glad you think so!
Jag är svensk och kan inte ens danska, props to you
My wife is from Pitea and understands Danish but doesn't speak it with Danes.... She speaks in English. Its odd!
@@jjohanesson9139 To me danish sounds a bit like they are drunk all the time. Dont understand anything
Alltid kul att se Will på kanalen. Tycker ni båda pratar riktigt bra svenska.
Swedish is spoken in many cultural and heritage places in America. I had the pleasure of hearing two very old ladies in Minnesota.
They spoke Swedish between them with the most beautiful and sweet accent that I could remember.
They told me that they were the daughters of Swedish immigrants. And that I should try going to the Swedish Cultural institute in Minneapolis.
Swedish is taught in many American Universities.
Sadly, many Swedish TV channels are blocked outside of Sweden, due royalties I believe.
Yes, VPNs etc I know the drill...
If you can, please write to SVT, Kanal 5 and many others to unblock their programming.
Lets hope that the Swedish Institute follows the success of the Goethe Institute (DE), the Alliance Français, etc , and invests in the
language expansion initiative.
Heja Sverige, allihopa!
Imponerande svenska och uttal ! Will är en polyglot ! Stefan har arbetat hårt !
Båda uppenbarligen språkbegåvade. Will har riktigt bra uttal!!
4:17 Will’s ansikte... bästa på länge
What Will have just been here for one year??? I suppose it is because he learned Danish before. Pronunciation A+
You both speak very good swedish. I am impressed! :-)
Riktigt duktiga båda 2!
Jag bor i USA nu för många år, men jag borde i Göteborg för 7 år (1953-1960)...Jag älskar prata svenska! Har Ni visst "Vår Tid är nu?" (en svensk serie på Sundance/Amazon Prime)...det var underbart att höra svenska igen...och svenska språket är väldigt clart...
Fortsätt så grabbar! Ni är jätteduktiga! :D
"tänk om man var en kock" och bästa oscar'n går till-
Ni är ju båda riktigt bra i Svenska. Grattis.
haha så kul "en kock" "va sa du??" "en kock, alltså som lagar mat"
Jätte bra!! Jag gillar mycket!!
Oj, jag skrev på fel ställe! Will måste ha lätt för att lära språk. Han kan många ord, bygger meningarna bra och har jättebra uttal👍🏼
Ni är fantastiskt duktiga. :)
WAUW! How is his swedish already so good :O I'm danish and you can both speak and understand more swedish than me :P
Good job learning Swedish! It is not easy here were everyone wants to practice their English😟
I have studied English in school like every other Swede and after university in the late 1980s i vent traveling for a year on my own. I vent to Japan, Hong Kong, South East Asia, Australia and New Zeeland. Traveling by my own I almost only spook English and at one point I realised that I was dreaming in English while sleeping. I took that as a sign that I was really getting into the English language😎.
Have you guys experienced that?
I have, I had dreams that I could speak French but in reality I can only basically read it and put some simple sentences together. You know the rest.
@@589steven You know when you start to learn a new language you translates everything in your head both listening and talking. I think that I at some point got so used to only speak English that I did not have to do the internal translation and at the same time started to have dreams in English.
I think your friend had a very interesting access. A mix of swedish, danish, norwegian, and some words sounded like finn 🇫🇮 talks swedish.
I love it when people from other countries speaks Swedish, as it sounds a bit funny, no puns intended. I'm so used to hear other Swedes and myself speak Swedish, so it's quite intressting when people outside of Sweden speaks Swedish. I myself have begun go away from Swedish and begun speaking way more English than i used to do. I do throw random Swedish and English words in all sentences i say, but nowadays, i speak more English
What would've been the pun? You know a pun is when you play with words. The Swedish translation would be "ordvits".
@@cevs3123 It depends on what the context is. In Sweden, everything can become puns if you so chose to do s. Sweden is the country that's so weird, not even we Swedes knows what's going on. That's the case for me. I don't care about what's going on here anymore. Honestly though. I'm thinking of learning German and maybe move to Germany, but i'm just thinking about it
@@Chisszaru haha va? Claylo syftar ju på att du skrev ”no pun intended” vilket man kan tillägga om man råkar säga något som kan tolkas som en ordvits. Det lät som att du sade det som ”inget illa ment”, vilket skulle vara ”no offense” på engelska. Pun på engelska = ordvits på svenska :-)
@@Typewriter285 det beror fortfarande hur man ser det. Är det no offence, så är det alltid något man egentligen inte borde säga eller att man inte riktigt ska ta något allvarligt, alldeles för allvarligt
@@Chisszaru Haha jo fast att du sade att det låter lustigt när folk från andra länder pratar svenska är ju typiskt en sådan "inget illa ment"-situation. Att du säga "no pun intended" har ingenting med det att göra, det betyder "den ordvitsen var inte avsiktlig". Ett typiskt exempel där det skulle kunna användas var när jag för många år sedan var på Hemköp och inte hittade några citroner. Frågade en i personalen som berättade att de var slut, och jag utan att tänka mig för svarade "åh, vad surt". Där hade jag kunnat säga "no pun intended" om vi haft den frasen på svenska, eftersom citroner är välkända för att vara sura men jag inte hade en tanke på det när jag svarade honom.
Det vore kul om ni skulle göra nånslags tävling, kanske göra nåt slags svensktest. Kanske läsförståelsedelen och orddelen på nåt gammalt högskoleprov? Bara för att liksom testa hur många procent ni klarar!
Will's Swedish is fantastic!
Härligt! More videos with Will, tack!
Me looking at the thumbnail:
”He became white after four years in Sweden?” 😄lol
I don't know if this comes across as criticism - it is not, because I am genuinely impressed by how fluent you are in Swedish and how big your vocabulary is - but if you want a minor pronunciation tip that will go a long way, I'd recommend you try to consistently pronounce the ö's in words having that letter, rather than pronouncing the words as though they were spelled with an "o". Like when you said "örter", I really thought you meant to say "orter" and was really confused about what that had to do with food for a bit haha. The same goes for å and ä to a degree but I feel like you get those right more! Anyway keep up the good work, you're doing great! :D
Its fun to watch others that live abroad from a Swede living in Japan =P
GO WILL! Amazing and really good accent you have going there. I had that luck, too -- after just several months living in Sweden, I was often told I often sounded native, with a few words of exception here and there. And no one pegged me as from North America. If people guessed, they used to guess I was from Belgium, for some reason. lol.
Ni är så duktiga!!👌👌👌
WILL!!! u speak really well.
Jeg må bare si at fotballspilleren snakker veldig bra skandinavisk!!!!👍😃
Håller med dig till 100% :)
Yo the Danish dude has a really strong swedish accent that's actually impressive AF to me as a beginner in the language lol. I think some people are just better at picking up languages.
That was great! Any tips from either of you about how to learn the prepositions? I find that the most complicated
So strange, at 2:10 I was thinking of French too.😯 "Mirror neurons" maybe... (or that Danish almost sounds a little bit like French)😜
Really like your chemistry, you should make more videos together in the future!
It’s interesting to see 2 American dudes speaking Swedish to one another. And what’s even more interesting is, one of them is also fluent in Danish. I guess it makes his learning of the Swedish language a lot easier.
Otroligt bra svenska Will
Will uttalar svenska bättre än Stefan men såklart kan Stefan mer ord och det flyter bättre. När Will lär sig mer ord så kan han nog prata svenska utan mycket brytning
Ni pratar så bra svenska! :)
Wow. Båda har otroligt bra svenska. Grymt imponerande!
Det är så himla kul att se det här!!
deat ar ssjelvklaArt laettarae låter lite som en kille i min klass
Det var underbart!
Your accents are adorable! So cute!!!! Also damn you are good :)
Wow. As a native Swedish speaker I’m quite impressed.
Vad var det som gjorde att du flyttade till Sverige? Och jag tycker att ni kan bra svenska och tycker att det är roligt att höra när ni pratar svenska! Bra video! :D
Will is incredible holy moly
Nice. Will e ju bra
Bra jobbat, killar 😀 Ni gör mig att vilja öva mer
Grym svenska efter så kort tid
1:57 Det lät lite finskt😆🇫🇮
Dragon (pronounced as dragoon) is tarragon in English, Stefan.
1:06 for the Swedish part
Maybe this is a silly suggestion.
Listen to audiobooks in Swedish.
Pick a book that you already read in english so you can focus more on how they speak instead of what they say ?
Can you do a video on equestrian terms/ words in Swedish? I am trying to learn Swedish. Thank you.
I wanne visit sweden got some small tips to get comfortabel?
Bra video, kärlek från Östergötland!
Härligt å se hur långt ni har kommit i språke' 👍
Ооо 😻, jag studera svenska också och den här videon så rolig 😁
Great video. Truly interesting about the last 20 percent of language understanding. I think it may be like that in all language. I wonder if that is the 80-20 rule in practice. I think it is. The important 20 percent of effort for 80 percent of language. Its not directly the 80-20 rule but it is a very general rule that applies on many situations. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle
Ni är duktiga, keep going!
You guys are realy good at talking swedish!
Even tho your pronounciations aren't quite right, you can still easily understand what you're saying.
Kanonbra svenska! Så bra kanal! Använder i min undervisning 😊 dragon=tarragon☝️😉
With knowing Danish understanding Swedish will be easy, but speaking it not. When I lived in Stockholm we watched a police program where the cop had a boyfriend in Denmark, she spoke Swedish and he understood, but if he spoke Danish she did not understand. Cannot remember if he used Swedish or English to talk to her, I think it was English, as we enjoyed understanding at least a little bit of the story then!
So you are Danish? When I lived in Denmark for a few years, I only hung out with Danes frequently. Learned the language quickly and was first taken for Norwegian "a Swede who you understand must be Norwegian". After six months, many thought I was from Bornholm. There they pronounce a little more like Swedes, or? I must add that I was in my 20s. Understands Danish completely and still speaks a little after many years. Has noticed some change in teh Danish language though.
Any Norwegians or Danes watching and enjoying their scandinavian language learning journey
Norwegian here and very impressed with both of them, their Swedish is very good! :)
yes I am Danish, it's fun to watch with the Scandinavian languages👍🏼
Det roliga är att det finns ord på engelska (speciellt amerikanska) som inte riktigt går att översätta på rätt sätt till svenska. Detta är något som jag har problem med ibland när jag vill uttrycka mig. Kommer inte på några exempel på ord just nu dock
Jättebra och uppmuntrande på alla sätt som alltid! Vad jag förstår, är ni båda idrottsmän - kan det vara så att att idrotten dels gett er vinnarskalle och dels (vilket kanske är ännu viktigare) lärt er vikten av att träna och öva och därigenom nå resultat?
Svenska och Danska är samma sak. Fast Danskar har gröt i munnen när de pratar lol
Wow, Will's pronunciation is very very good! He has the best pronunciation to be honest haha XD
Sjukt imponerad av er båda två!!
Bra jobbat killar 👍
Will actually surpassed you in Swedish Stefan. Du behöver kämpa mer! 😅
Wills uttal är väldigt bra, men Stefan kan mer svenska. Olika saker att jobba på
