@@pauloketch4635 Ive been studying Swedish for a year on and off, so I hope you find some use in this advice: I would start with smth like duolingo to get the basic sentence structure and vocabulary down, since it forces you to come up with swedish sentences. you can go through the material quite quickly since a bunch of the exercises are nonsense, for example translating swedish to english because that is easy most of the time. After about 3 months of practicing english->swedish mostly, I think you can start watching videos/series/films that are swedish with subtitles ON. Research has shown that watching with subtitles on greatly increases your productivity in learning a language. If you're up for it, you can also read along with the subtitles, trying to copy the pronunciation. This is where I am at right now, I can understand 50-70% of spoken swedish, depending on the subject. When you can understand almost everything, its time to find a buddy to have conversations with to practice your speaking. After this point, im not sure what to do to get to an expert level, maybe reading books or start writing in a journal in swedish or smth like that. Just remember that a language consists of 4 elements: speaking, listening, writing and reading. The speaking and listening part are the most difficult, since it requires spontaneous and quick reactions to what was said. The way to learn listening is INPUT INPUT INPUT, and speaking, well, just find someone who has a bit of patience to talk with you:). Thats all i know about language learning so far, I wish you good luck, and NEVER think that its not possible, because it is if you keep on practising!
Just making it clear that this dialect is from the Southern part of Sweden. Not all Swedish speak like this (actually, most non-south swedish people make fun of this dialect)
Sarah Brooks you could look it up on youtube 'different swedish dialects' and they'll mention something like Skånska (from Skåne, the southern part of Sweden), Göteborgska (from the Gothenburg region) and Stockholmare (from the Stockholm region). They'll probably mention some dialects from up north too. Just like they have different dialects in the USA and The Netherlands
Swedish looks pretty easy, after watching this video i got interested into this language. Thanks EasyLanguages. Btw don't say "fika" in Italy, because it can be an offensive word!!! :D
+LilloWorld In Italian "fika" (written "fica") is a vulgar word, bu not offensive. It means "vagina" but it can also mean "beautiful girl". Where I live, in the Northern Italy, we prefer to say "figa".

Just completed level one with Duolingo Swedish. Watching this video, I think Easy Swedish will help a lot. What a difference to actually hear native speakers. Tack sa mycket. I cannot go to Sweden anytime soon...unfortunately, but the internet will bring Sweden a little closer.
and the way sentences are structured. I have background knowledge of German, so Swedish seems easy in terms of grammar and vocabulary. Not the pronunciation though :D @@UA-camlongvideos
It takes a lot of éxpòsure to the language (over a period of time) and learning many thousands of words and developing an automatic mode in the new language to become fluent, but luckily Swedish and the other Germanic languages are so easy to learn, the easiest languages, so one can get fluent quite fast in Germanic languages, in general, especially if one uses the right learning techniques, such as spaced repetition (watching the vocab and grammar videos multiple times over a period of time) and observing patterns / word ending etc! I am advanced level in Dutch (quite fluent) and intermediate level in Swedish / German / Norwegian and writer level in English and upper beginner level in Old Norse / Icelandic and beginner level in the other Germanic languages, and I can understand a lot of Swedish sentences and words already, even if I see certain Swedish words for the first time, because many times the Swedish word is similar to the Dutch or German or Norwegian or English word! It would be real great if there were Easy Swedish / Easy Norwegian / Easy Danish / Easy Icelandic / Easy Faroese yts and Easy Old Norse yt teaching vocab and grammar / prepositions / verbs etc!
In addition, I highly recommend learning all / some / any of these pretty languages, including all Germanic languages, such as Dutch / Norwegian / Danish / Swedish / Old Norse / Faroese / Icelandic / Norn / Old English / Limburgish / West Frisian / Gothic / North Frisian / Platte Deutsch / East Frisian / Luxembourgish / Middle English (and Modern English if one doesn’t know it yet) and the other Dutch-based / German-based languages, and the 6 Celtic languages, namely Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic, and Gallo / Guernsey / Galician and Walloon / Latin / Occitan / Aranese / Esperanto, and the Italian-based languages such as Sardinian / Pretarolo / Sicilian / Venetian / Neapolitan / Friulian / Corsican / Ladin etc, and Hungarian, and Slovene, and Finnish / Latvian / Estonian - these languages are super pretty and magical!
By the way, I highly suggest that they make Easy Languages yts for all these pretty languages that don’t have one yet, such as Easy Norwegian / Easy Swedish / Easy Danish and Easy Icelandic / Easy (Old) Norse / Easy Faroese and Easy Gothic / Easy Latin / Easy Norn and Easy Afrikaans / Easy Yiddish / Easy Burgundian and Easy West Frisian / Easy North Frisian / Easy East Frisian and Easy Luxembourgish / Easy Plattedeutsch / Easy Limburgish and Easy Welsh / Easy Breton / Easy Cornish and Easy Manx / Easy Scottish Gaelic / Easy Irish and Easy Gallo / Easy Guernsey / Easy Galician and Easy Occitan / Easy Walloon / Easy Aranese and Easy Sardinian / Easy Pretarolo / Easy Sicilian and Easy Neapolitan / Easy Venetian / Easy Friulian and Easy Ladin / Easy Corsican / Easy Ladino and Easy Hungarian / Easy Slovene / Easy SwissGerman and Easy Finnish / Easy Latvian / Easy Estonian - even tho they are more unknown, they are so pretty, and the pretty languages should always be prioritized and helped to become very known, and I am sure support groups (or ppl that would support the efforts to make these pretty languages more known) could be found on Patreon and other platforms that would help make these languages more known and help teaching them etc! Many of them have very few speakers at the moment, and resources / videos teaching them are very limited, which makes it very difficult for one to learn them - some of them could even become ‘unliving’ languages in the near future, so to speak, or unspoken languages, which would be very unfortunate, because these languages are so pretty, and should be included everywhere, and they should definitely be the focus on yt etc, as opposed to focusing on languages that are more popular or that have many native speakers or other languages that aren’t a pretty language with mostly pretty words! I also highly suggest that, if someone has the ability to get these languages added to Google translate and Duolingo etc, that he do that as soon as possible, because many of them aren’t on Google translate etc yet - for example, Faroese / Limburgish / Norwegian Nynorsk etc aren’t on Google translate, and Breton / Manx / Cornish and Gallo / Guernsey / Galician and Occitan / Walloon / Aranese and the Italian-based languages aren’t on Google translate either, and the ancient languages such as Old Norse / Gothic / Old English / Norn / Old Dutch / Burgundian and Ancient Latin etc also aren’t on Google translate yet, but at least Latin is - however, they should all be added to Google translate and Duolingo etc, and they should make Easy Languages yts as well as many other yts teaching them for each one of them, so that many can learn them easily, and so that they can become very known / more known! There are many who want to learn them, myself included - I am sure many will start learning them once they are added to Google translate and Duolingo and other language learning platforms and once Easy Languages yts teaching them and more yt videos teaching them would be made! I also heard that a lot of ppl started learning Welsh / Irish / Scottish Gaelic once they were added to Duolingo, for example - this indicates that many ppl would learn more unknown languages if there would be more / many resources on the Internet!

@@barzinio92 you're probably right, studying it is a pain tho because I had different teachers every year so I didn't learn the basics properly :( But if I started from scratch I guess it'd be easier
Many thanks to the creators of this first Easy Swedish video. What I find most intriguing concerning Swedish pronunciation is the vowel "i" like in the word "förbi" at 3:01 in this video.
Olof - where did you go???? This was the first UA-cam video I watched when I started learning Swedish. Enjoyed this video over and over when I started and now can understand so much! Tack!
As a Swedish person that's the first time I have ever heard the word "Velig" only understood it thanks to the English subtitles 😂 Also out of every accent too it had to be Scanian 😅 kinda like going around Scotland with a Scottish host trying to teach English 🤣
I've been living in Sweden for four months now and at the start I couldn't speak any swedish but now when I listen to this o understand everything besides 1 or two words.
I've been to Sweden before. I was in Stockholm and Gotenburg and I also spent time in the far north of the country next to Finland that has lots of forests. I think Swedes are a nice but somewhat aloof people. They are also very anti-pretentious people so basically the opposite of French and even Germans. As a lot of people in this video say, there's something very indecent about bragging about success in Swedish society. I think part of the reason is because Swedes already feel like they live in a lovely country that has much to offer even for poor people. That being said, I believe Swedes are starting to get worried about the future of their country especially with the refugee crisis.
i baked kannelbullar it is similar to the zimtschnecken here in germany. I like yur channel and wish you do more swedish videos Ihr habt da einen großartigen Kanal DANKE
I am 1/4 Norwegian, and hope to learn Norwegian and Swedish. I speak German and used to speak Spanish, but the goal is to become fluent in at least German, Norwegian, English, Spanish and hopefully Swedish and some other languages.
Jag har aldrig varit i Sverige men jag tror att de bästa är att samhället inte är så hierarkiserat och arbetsrätten. Fikapausen är mycket viktigt för svenskarna. En annan trevlig sak är landskapet.
I love these videos! Jag älskar din videos Very helpful for those learning Swedish! English subtitles, are useful, but Swedish subtitles even more so, because than we can look up the words we don't know and we can see what words they are saying :)
As a citizen of the modern part of Sweden this feels very surreal, never heard anyone wanting to be moderate. I'll even go as far as to say a lot of people suffer from hubris
Jag skulle säga att "det här" inte räknas som en 'artikel', så en/du måste lägga till "-et" på "språk" för att kompensera för "The". Annars en grammatiskt korrekt mening. Also this was recorded in the south so don't tunnelvision when it comes to pronouncing letters.
The woman at around 3:30, is that a particular accent? I'm learning Swedish and even with the Swedish subtitles, I can't distinguish the words in the middle of the sentence. Same with what she says earlier in the video, she speaks insanely fast with a lot of emphasis on the last word of her sentence. Can't figure out the sounds when the man with her says "det är väl det".
Just a minor warning to foreigners! The interviewer and the others are Scanians and speak Scanian. Scania was conquered as late as in the mid 1600s, so there´s still a slight streak of Danish in what you´ll hear.
Exactly. I don't want to sound like I am attacking scanians, but the scanian dialect is slightly different than swedish spoken anywhere else. That said It's not "another language" different, but someone that doesn't speak the language natively could (possibly) get confused.
People in Scania have never spoken Danish. They have always spoken Scanian, just as Finnish people in Finland never spoke Swedish. They have always spoken Finnish.

Jå, lagom, köttbullar och fika är väldigt typiskt! :D
Jättebra lektion! Tack så mycket!
I am 1/4 Norwegian, and hope to learn Norwegian and Swedish. I speak German and used to speak Spanish, but the goal is to become fluent in at least German, Norwegian, English, Spanish and hopefully Swedish and some other languages.
If you become fluent in Norwegian you'll understand Swedish so you don't really need to learn it.
0:33 idk why this sounds extremely soothing lol
Jag har aldrig varit i Sverige men jag tror att de bästa är att samhället inte är så hierarkiserat och arbetsrätten. Fikapausen är mycket viktigt för svenskarna.
En annan trevlig sak är landskapet.
Thank you, love the language and how it's sang :D
I love the fact that this was filmed in Malmö.
Precis is my favorite Swedish word for some reason :D
It's "presis" in Norwegian.
been trying to learn swedish after being thrown into this country, this helped :)
The most beautiful language on earth, for real!
you swedes are so beautiful humble shy and loyal ..i would be honored to have a swedish friend male or female , its just beautiful
As a new Swedish learner that is something i was looking for
Love Swedes
0:53 omg, the angels exist really, they are swedish children !
I love these videos! Jag älskar din videos
Very helpful for those learning Swedish! English subtitles, are useful, but Swedish subtitles even more so, because than we can look up the words we don't know and we can see what words they are saying :)
I need more easy swedish 😍😍😂😂❤❤ it is so awesome
Watching from algeria Africa i Love swedish
Yay!!!!! Thank you for this this will help a lot! Hopefully much more comes!
I suddenly learned how beautiful the swedish languages is
As a citizen of the modern part of Sweden this feels very surreal, never heard anyone wanting to be moderate. I'll even go as far as to say a lot of people suffer from hubris
Vi åker till Sverige nästan varje sommar, därför att det regnar inte så mycket som i Skottland!
Hej
Am i the only one finding it surreal that people WANT to learn Swedish? Its flattering but it always feels so surreal
0:50 - Så söööt! 😄😊
Jaaaaa! Jag lär mig Svenska! Jag tycker mycket om det här språk! :)
Jag skulle säga att "det här" inte räknas som en 'artikel', så en/du måste lägga till "-et" på "språk" för att kompensera för "The". Annars en grammatiskt korrekt mening. Also this was recorded in the south so don't tunnelvision when it comes to pronouncing letters.
språket*
The woman at around 3:30, is that a particular accent? I'm learning Swedish and even with the Swedish subtitles, I can't distinguish the words in the middle of the sentence. Same with what she says earlier in the video, she speaks insanely fast with a lot of emphasis on the last word of her sentence. Can't figure out the sounds when the man with her says "det är väl det".
More Easy Swedish videos, please!!.
Please!! Another episode would be so helpful!!
Jag är jätteglada med Easy Swedish. Tack för den här videon! :D
Just a minor warning to foreigners! The interviewer and the others are Scanians and speak Scanian. Scania was conquered as late as in the mid 1600s, so there´s still a slight streak of Danish in what you´ll hear.
Johnny Lundberg Det er derfor, det lyder mere forståeligt ;D
Exactly. I don't want to sound like I am attacking scanians, but the scanian dialect is slightly different than swedish spoken anywhere else. That said It's not "another language" different, but someone that doesn't speak the language natively could (possibly) get confused.
Låter ju bättre på Engelska än Svenska 😃
People in Scania have never spoken Danish. They have always spoken Scanian, just as Finnish people in Finland never spoke Swedish. They have always spoken Finnish.
@@pierrenilsson6189 thank you for pointing this out!
We need an easy swedish channel in 2022
A little bit hard for a portuguese speaker. But I'll try to learn it!
What a nice reporter/host:)
I'm going there in september! I dont speak but we have friends there and people is nice, im soooo excited
This is really nice n easy n fun to watch! Tack for video! ~
Malmö's Swedish sounds Danish. It's very noticeable in the Rs and intonation!
+Ignacio Perez yup, It's the Swedish southern accent, called Skånska (after the name of Skåne, Sweden's southernmost region).
cz it used to be danish territory..
Yeah it really sounds just a like an awkward Danish dialect XD
They are somewhat influenced by danish but it's not the same.
Danmark and Sweden had lots of wars back in the Days.
Äntligen! Tack så mycket för det, jag har väntat länge på Easy Swedish! Det var också "lagom" ledig för mig :)
Why is UA-cam recommending me this almost 5 years later? I love this video!
Because now it's time for you to learn Swedish!
I am learning German. And between the other Germanic languages, Swedish looks very attractive to learn.
