Learning Swedish in 7 Days

- Part 2 (30 days): • Learning Swedish in 30...
In the spirit of connecting with the roots of my own name and inspired by Nathaniel Drew´s Italian language challenge, I embark on an exciting journey to learn as much Swedish as possible in 7 days, as part of a 30 day challenge to learn Swedish.
I go over different language learning methods that I used (how to learn Swedish in general) and document the language learning process along the way.
My hope is that by watching this, seeing the mistakes and limited, but still significant results achieved after 7 days, this can motivate you to take those steps yourself to learn a new language.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate you.
Sven.

"I'm going to try get some words out" *proceeds to have a full conversation*
Very impressive:)
Well with plenty of mistakes and half broken sentences, but thank you lol
@@SvenVee in 7 days, that is still impressive.
Learning language is about allowing one self to make mistake and try again. So you are doing great.
I am the only Katie and the only being reflecting pure animaIs like birds / crows and the only Vee and the only Empress and the only beautiful being etc, while my pure protectors aka the alphas are the only beings reflecting big terms like emperor / lord / king etc - all humnz are the exact opposite of big terms / special names / compIiments etc, and such terms / names cannot be misused by humnz, and must be edited out / changed!
Tho I must say, I am also learning Swedish, which is one of my favorite languages...
By the way... The word sven means guy / man in Swedish (similar to the word swain in OId English) and only men that are pure / virgin by choice (such as my pure protectors aka the alphas) reflect words like man / guy / boy / swain / lad / sven etc, while I am the only being reflecting pretty-sounding terms like kvinna / quean and girl(s) / maiden(s) / chick(s) etc and big terms like dam / dame / damsel or Lady / Ladies etc... So one should never use the words dam and kvinna (Swedish terms) or kvinne (Norwegian term) or other similar terms to refer to womyn...
For learning ALL of that in 7 DAYS is very good. I know some people that have lived here for like 5 years and have the same amount of vocab as you. You should def keep going
I appreciate that Lisa, thank you 🙏🏻😊
@@SvenVee Sven I really want to thank you again for giving me one of your 20 Lamborghinis last year. You are such a great friend !
Just came across your video. I sort of started learning Swedish last year, but not very seriously. I’ve been wanting to take it more seriously and commit time to doing it every day. It’s good to see someone like you have success with it in such a short time. It’s a bit inspirational! Grattis!
Ah I'm happy it helps somewhat. Thanks for watching and the best of luck with the language learning 😀
Väldigt bra jobbat! Im from Sweden! Hope you are keeping it up, that way you will not forget anything.
I am still revising on the regular! Thanks for watching!
Du är fantastisk! Har du lärt dig bara 7 day.. Vilken imponerande!!
most underrated youtuber no cap
Thanks a lot Martin! 🙏🏻
I can't believe he's so good it makes me so motivated
Glad it helps, thanks for watching!
Thankyou for making this video!
Swedish is not that hard to learn, it has a lot of similarity with English and German (Swedish is North Germanic branch of the Germanic languages) so as someone who speaks English and German I believe you can learn it very quickly. Also an interesting fact, Swedish is also one of the official languages in Finland. :)
Yes I've heard about the Swedish community in Finland, very interesting!
It's not that hard, but the pronunciation definitely is a challenge at first haha.
Thanks for watching!
It is also similar with russian
Oh yep, definitely interesting to see how quick this guy learnt swedish considering I'm constantly studying it in school. (Here where I live the minority isn't even swedish, It's Russian so I don't even technically need swedish, still we have to learn it lol.)
Not hard i live there
Swedish is not easy but not difficult to learn , only try, read more, write more, watch films some on swedish more but if you are new in sweden and if you go to school or university , swedish look likes so difficult with subjects . So swedish is not easy to learn , grammatic is difficult , subjects to, but you can do it if you try more .
Very interesting story. Your English sounds like you're a Native English speaker from the U.S.
Thank you! Ah yes, I've heard that before, I'll take it as a compliment :)
bra jobbat, och väldigt bra utal! hoppas att u fortsätter att lära dig!
Hey, that was really good man! I myself am learning Swedish and it was definitely motivating.. Keep up the good work! 🤘🏼
Hab mir schon länger überlegt, auch Schwedisch zu lernen. Dein Video motiviert mich sehr :) sehr unterhaltsam
Danke dir :)
Amazing video! Looking forward to the 30 day follow up.
Ay thanks buddy, I'm looking forward to sharing those results too, quite a jump!
Currently on day 3 of my own attempt to learn Swedish in a week. Pretty cool that you’ve shared your experience, given me sum extra things to try
Wow! You did very well on that part. Ivcompletely agree with all the thoughts you shared.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Amazing! It's really impressive. It was really good for just seven days! I know people who didn't take up pronunciations like that after a *year* in Sweden! I am very impressed. Amazing!
Thank you so much, that means a lot. 😀 I also recently uploaded the follow up video of 30 days of learning, would love to know your thoughts!
Bra jobbat! Imponerande 👍🏻
Tack så mycket Niclas 😄
So Swedish is my native language and for 7 days your Swedish is impressive! I understood what you were saying in Swedish which most of the time people who first speak Swedish normally have pretty trash pronunciation but yours was pretty good for only 7 days!
love from Sweden
Really nice video. I remember doing a 30 day challenge for Swedish when we were in lockdown in 2020. Thankfully I had English, Afrikaans and German to help me and it was a pretty cool experience 👌🏻👌🏻
Man, that’s awesome. I’m living in Finland. I need to pass a language test in either Finnish or Swedish in order to become a citizen. I’ve been here 6 years but I literally know close to only 1% of what I need to (I know almost nothing). You’ve motivated me to learn, and try and pass the test
As a native Swedish person I thought you did great! I'm honestly amazed at how much you knew after just 7 days. I can sometimes find it hard to understand people that has learned Swedish for just a few days. But your pronunciation was very good and easy to understand for this short amount of time :)
Thank you so much, that means a lot, glad you enjoyed the video 😊
I am impressed, ngl. Congrats man!
Thank you 😄
Otroligt bra!
Very motivating Video Sven! Maybe I try the same with Dutch! 🧡💚💜💙❤️
Thank you Anna, go for it! 😄
Holy shit for what I saw you were solo fkn good at Swedish for only having learned it in 7 days. Im subbing
Vad duktig du är som lärde dig så fort. Jag sätt och hört folk som pratar sämre än vad du gjort de bott i sverige mer än 6 månader eller flera år i vissa fall. Så jag är imponerad.
Tack så mycket 😄
Nice production value
Thank you!
Well done!
Thank you, Andrew!
Du var faktiskt väldigt bra om man räknar hur lång tid det tog för dig att lära dig språket, förstod allt du sa😃
Nice interesting video man, Swedish is a hard language as well! I'm trying to learn Portuguese now after living there for 6 months...so will add some of your techniques to my learning. Cheers!
Thank you. That's awesome! Good luck with Portuguese, it looks quite hard 😄
@@SvenVee Aha yeah I’ve just been quite busy, as I just released my first film about the lockdown in London. So now that it’s out, I have more time to learn Portuguese now..
Impressive!
I remember your channel name from years ago for some reason! I think I thought you had Swedish in you or something because your name is very Swedish. And now I see you in my recommendations and you're learning the language haha! Can't wait to watch! 🇸🇪🇸🇪 // another Josefin
Du gjorde det så bra!! woo! Jag lär mig italienska just nu, så det här inspirerade mig :)
Ah mycket bra! Jag vill lära mig italienska en dag också :) lycka till!
you spoke very good Swedish for just 7 days, you had a whole advanced conversation
Ah thank you so much 😊
Not advanced, but yeah.
@@Nekotaku_TV That's advanced.
@@ItsKevin183 No.
Mycket bra!
Helvete så bra!
Tack så mycket 😄
Hey Sven, surprising to see myself in the video haha, but great to see you're doing good man :)
/ Fredrik
Ah thanks for watching man! Hope you're doing well too 😀
Im impressed. You speak better swedish than alot of immigrants who have been here for years.
My confusion why he has an American accent!!? Gut gemacht! Goed gedaan!
Danke, dankje! And I don't know, it just happened 😄
Because most people who are good at English adopt the American accent, because that's what we hear the most of.
Das echt wel cool haha!
Merci Felix! :)
I’ve been learning for two days, and I can make sentences already! And I can kinda talk just from immersion (I’ve been listening to music, watching shows, and reading in it)
That's impressive, hope you keep going!
I live in sweden for 2years and i barely know just a single word in swedish, this just help me so much beacuse i’m too scared to go to school bc of the language they’re talking about and if they’re talking trash about me and me not know what they’re saying, I’ve been homeschool to California bc if even i homeschool in sweden i still wont be able to understand what they’re saying. I did took a swedish class when i was 10 but i wasn’t paying attention bc my anxiety keep attacking me bc im stressed and struggling so i’m very thankfull for these tips.
good job
Thank you, I appreciate it :)
Great video! I worked for the govt at an airport and I love languages and learn them fast so I learned from passengers how to say the general phrases, hello, goodbye, thank you in 32 languages although I know more French, Russian and Korean. I want to learn Swedish after watching several Swedish series on Amazon. Of course, I started with the swear words first😀 I was lucky in my job because we had free access to Rosetta Stone. UA-cam is a great source though too.
Wow that's amazing, 32 languages! 👏🏻🤯
Yeah Swedish is cool, I definitely recommend it haha. Have fun learning on and thanks for watching! 😄
@@SvenVee I have also checked out the culture. Ketchup on spaghetti?😀
@@edc5338 yikes! Never tell an Italian 😂
I’ve been learning Swedish for a couple of week. I understand a good amount I think ( given the time I’ve been learning) of the language while written. My issue is with prononciation. I sound like a cow giving birth each time. If anyone knows an app or an online class where I could improve my pronunciation It would be amazing. Tack
Good job!
I am also learning swedish, I started 1 month ago and I must say that you are better than me 😂
I understand a lot, but I am struggling to speak beacause it's not perfect, so I shy away and just talk when I am alone. Hah.
Curious how much you going to learn in 30 days. It gives me hope. 🙏
Haha thank you! Just speaking, even if only by yourself is always the best. :) Yes the 30 day video is coming out soon. Thanks for watching and happy learning!
After French, English, Spainish one my family, so on, then I would like to know very much how does work about Swedish in 7 or 70 days... Tackar.
Thanks for watching! I just released the follow up video about my progress after 30 days 😀
Any recommendations of swedish youtubers? (Just to get a feel for how it sounds and used in daily conversations)
as a Swede, It was very impressive to hear that in just a week! work on your pronounciation and, boom fluent in speaking swedish!
Jag har redan glömt hälften av det!!!
Det händer ibland haha. Tack för att du tittade!
Imponerande!!
Thank you!
What a coincidence I'm moving to Belgium soon, much better quality of living in my opinion compared to the US. I need to start learning Dutch.
That's so cool! Hope you enjoy the language once you start :)
I'm curious, it is nearly a year later, have you been able to retain the Swedish you learned? What goals do you have next Sven?
Hey Matthew! Yes I have been able to retain it and even increasing my level slightly. It's been in phases where I was spending a bit more time on it. I have to admit that I've been so busy with moving countries and building my business that I haven't been able to intensely study, but I am in no rush at the moment. Next period I have to spend more time on it, I might make another video about the progress. Thanks for watching and asking!
Any chance you can upload that sheet you compiled with words somewhere?
Might do in the future, new vid coming soon about Swedish
Wow! that's seriously impressive. How many hours per day did you study?
Thank you! That first week about 2.5h per day spent on learning through different mediums 😊
You sound more American than me, a Vietnamese guy that has lived in America since 2009…. So impressive😅😅😅
Haha thank you so much 😄
@@SvenVee you should do a video where you speak English, Dutch, German, and French. I think many of us would like to hear what you sound like in other languages besides English.
@@josephnguyen4548 Contemplating doing this with my mom actually haha
Awesome, can you share your Swedish music playlist ?
Thank you! I just use the regular playlist mostly of "Swedish Top 50" and the likes on Spotify 😄
@@SvenVee Tack så mycket !!
I'm curious as to why you speak with an american accent if you lived (or live?) in the UK. In Germany we usually learn british english in school - is that different in belgium?
No not different, but I somehow never took to that accent. Bio-Linguistically, the British accent is a lot harder to adopt than the American / more neutral one though. Something I learned later at uni in a linguistics class
0:47 is especially funny considering frozen takes place in norway, not sweden
💗
WHAT YOU LIVED IN SHEFFIELD FOR A BIT!! I've just started learned Swedish and I'm from sheffield !!
That's awesome! Good luck with the learning!
Well done bruh...
Thanks Matthew!
you should try learning afrikaans , its very similar to dutch and german and swedish actually
Haha that'd be a fun challenge for sure
Okej det där var läskigt bra
Tack så mycket 😄
this is making me want to try harder to learn the language for my partner even more now. i enjoy the language aswell, but i’d love to visit him one day & not need to be helped w/ translation the entire time 😅
Glad it motivates a bit, and good luck with the language journey!
That's better than many african/arab migrants who have lived here for 10 years and do not even bother learning Swedish.
Ppl worry about grammar or pronunciation. Do not worry about that, just try to talk and ppl will understand you. But I can´t understand why ppl want to learn Swedish, if you don´t want to move here, so small country. And IF you move here, everyone will understand english. And being with ppl talking the language you want to learn, you will soon be a native.
It can just be for fun, which is what it is in my case 😄
But if you want to learn Swedish, then you should want to learn... Swedish. Also he can't be a native, but it's not impossible to sound like a native speaker.
Do you have any Scandinavian ancestry? What’s the story of your name?
Hello fellow belgian, I speak dutch and french and now I'll learn german in school. But I'm fluent in english, and I'm now learning italian maybe swedish in about 1h I'll decide and I also know a bit of polish spanish chinese and korean. Unfortunately I live in freaking europe so eughm this aint impressive at all
Europe is definitely a hub of polyglots haha. Still impressive tho!
🎵Åååå ääää öööö🎵
Your name is an Norse name in origin.
Didn't you know smörgåsbord (even though the English version is just the metaphor)?
While I love people learning Swedish and helping them with it, Norwegian would be more useful unless you're very focused on Sweden.
It's possible to say "jag fick jobba i England" as opposed to "jag fick ett jobb i England". And your "en", which is supposed to be "ett" in this case, could be heard as a "um/eeh".
More accurately, släkt means relatives. But of course they can be synonyms.
You did very well for just a week, damn.
Thanks for the feedback! I didn't actually know that. Maybe Norwegian lies in my future too somewhere 😄
Well, I speak Greek and trying to learn Swedish. Maybe Josefine and I can help each other. Lol
If in seven days in I get then I'll Leave others all and just gonna to learn to servenca?
Not sure what you mean
I’m Swedish :D
Hi! 😄🙋🏻♂️
@@SvenVee hej
Reason behind learning =VIKINGS ; )
Jag behöver hjälp med mig svenska
Did you know that Sweden was more of an trading part of the North and that it was Norway and Denmark that was raiding other country.
Edit: i'm from Sweden btw and i think it's hilarious to hear people try Swedish.
That's not true though, acording to the archelogical evidence. We even have 30 Runestones that are called "Englandsstenarna", which describes the raids to England. Adam of Bremen also said that Swedes had mighty fleets, and many wives. It's true though that some of the most important scandinavian cities was in Sweden. From Uppåkra to Uppsala and Birka. As well as Gotland.
The pireus lion in Greece, is also one of few Runestone carvings down there, which was made by Swedish warriors from Roslagen.
Omg I thought you were an American. Impressive
Haha thank you so much!
Speaking as an English man, no, no I don't agree that Vikings were badass. They were brutal savages. Remember Lindisfarne.
Sweadish is sooo easy (I am from sweaden)
Well of course it is for a Swedish person 😂
"sweaden" haha.
Du kan prata svenska men jag äger med scrabble, pim pam pet och till och med dvärgkast 🤪
Lmfao du är verkligen rolig 😂. Tack för att du tittade!
You speak German and Dutch so should not be so hard. I speak fluent Yiddish and can pick out words in other Germanic languages
For rudimentary language skills and some common basis, definitely agreed. To become proficient is another story tho, especially with the pronunciation difficulties, but it does help to have a more accessible start so to speak. Is Yiddish considered difficult?
Hi, not possible in 7 days
Yes it is
Don't believe you man, all that conversation with only 7 days of learning? Naaah 🤔
Don't know what to tell ya, because it's true. And I still made plenty of mistakes
@@SvenVee genius then
