Well Sup Forums the votes are in, and we're learning Swedish.
Share your learning strategies, and your progress.
Check out the sticky for some useful language learning resources, start the duo lingo trees, lets get this ball rolling! This thread is for learners to practice/discuss what we're learning and scandis to correct us.
Might be a little slow at first, as we're all hard at work learning a new language.
i fucking hate this sound, this is what prevented me from learning swedish last year
Anthony Howard
Not him, but Swedish is literally the gayest language on earth.
Who cares about pronunciation. Americans don't pronounce English like Britbongs either right. If it's understandable you're good.
Evan Turner
>implying we'll actually be speaking it and not just typing Even if we were like in vocaroo threads, I'm sure we'll get it eventually or close enough to it
Lucas Robinson
>Who cares about pronunciation This.
Especially since we'll be mostly typing it anyway.
Lucas Gray
Good choice
Jaxson Robinson
Svenska är inte svårt alls Man kan ju bli rätt duktig på det om man använder Duolingo i ett par månader
Joshua Cook
I want to learn Swedish
Isaac Allen
It's easy as fuck for a English speaker to learn, so go get started and you should be able to say whole very simple sentences by the time this thread 404s.
>Swedish is literally the gayest language on earth. You're confusing it with Dutch. >Who cares about pronunciation Smart people. >Americans don't pronounce English like Britbongs either right. That's why American English is the standard for the world.
Camden Reed
Anyone know how multiple verbs work yet or I am jumping the gun?
Brayden Sanchez
It's a fact that every english-speaker who speaks swedish sounds like a gay fashion designer.
Noah Green
kek
Bentley Parker
It's probably because they speak Swedish.
Ayden Mitchell
How would you know what a gay fashion designer sounds like? You must be dating one.
Jonathan Edwards
Sequences of verbs? As in "Mannen vill äta smörgås" and "Jag kommer att spela schack"? Some verb sequences require "att" between the verbs and some don't. You just have to get used to it and learn one by one, I guess
Hunter Peterson
Let's study Swedish vocabulary.
Bög: Hollander
Parker Russell
In Dutch all Germans sound gay as fuck. Americans sound like cowboys. Regardless where they're from they'll end up sounding like Texans.
Brayden Sanchez
As a native spanish speaker, this shit is very awkward for me to pronounce. I like it tho.

>Sequences of verbs? Yeah Thanks, I didn't know where the 2nd verb would go or what needs to be done to it. Like how in German they have set places where they need to be
Noah Murphy

Jaxson Hill
>In Dutch all Germans sound gay as fuck Why? I can take a guess at why we'd sound that way but why do they sound like retards?
Oh, I get what you mean. The verb will almost always come second in a sentence, except in subordinate negative clauses (I think this is what they're called)
For example: >Jag älskar inte henne (I don't love her) Verb appears before the adverb "inte"
>Jag sa att jag inte älskar henne (I said that I don't love her) "Att" makes the clause subordinate and, thus, the verb appears after the adverb "inte"

>Why would we learn Swedish?
It's a gateway language to other languages. Don't mind learning anything else before you learn Swedish, you'll learn better with Swedish.
You can learn any language better if you first learn Swedish. Even languages not related to Swedish, because learning Swedish is culturally enrichening.
We also have to learn Swedish so that we can better discuss our Swedish friends here on Sup Forums, even if they are in the minority and the majority knows English.
And should we not learn Swedish, the Swedish language will suddenly cease to exist and you are a racist.
t. Finnish government and it's mandatory Swedish poltics
Jason Nelson
Just realized that this wasn't your question and I probably made this unecessarily complicated I'm sorry.
Blake Jackson
When I took Swedish classes on my exchange in Finland, they taught us the homo Stockholm dialect by the book. My Fennoswedish teacher did not however, and we learned by her dialect. I also have relatives in a little town across the water from Umeå, and so I did my best to speak Swedish like a Finland Swede. I met with a relative and he told me I was doing well with it, which was nice. People there were really wonderfully friendly and it was one of my best and most treasured travel experiences.
Here's a pic from the town.
Juan Green
Same as in English. Except in Dutch the German accent comes out a lot more clearly. I guess due to the close relation between the languages it's easier to fall back on German pronunciation habits.
Zachary Bailey
jag kan tala 8 språk och jag tror att svenska är mycket lätt att lära det enda som är svårt är uttalet. du måste stanna i landet för att få den optimala accent tbqf
Benjamin Brooks
Germans generally like our accents. Although they say we sound like drunken farmers.
Owen Johnson
att lära sig* favä
Brayden Gutierrez
hmm det är klart att du har läst upp på språket i förväg jag har använt max en halvtimme på det så långt
Josiah Russell
God natt.
Jag vill kommer... tommorrow... natt.
Kevin Williams

Ryder Garcia
Dont get too much into it i heard finlandsvenska is wacky as fuck to native swedes with its rough finnish accent and somewhat archaic vocabulary retained from the 1800s
Owen Morgan
Gott natt Vi ses senare
Gabriel Johnson
Förlåt. Jag ville inte verka oförskämd. Jag har bara pluggat svenska i ett år, så jag är inte så där flytande på det heller.
God natt, user Sov gott
Ryan Morris
>subordinate subjunctive mood? >"Att" makes the clause subordinate and, if we're talking about moods (not sure what you mean w subordinate here) wouldn't it be the verb "Sa" that makes älskar subjunctive and not att?
Juan Lewis
I was told just the accent is older, apparently the upper-middle class Swedish accent from c. 1770. I just went for accent anyways, but textbook Swedish. I still put in a few hours a week of study.
Jose Turner
haha nej jag skojar bara jag talar danska flytande så jag fuska lite
aaah du kallar det "underordningsbindeord" i danska. översatt: subordinate "tying-words" (conjunctions; subordinate conjunctions)
trevligt!
Joshua Jones
Vad har du för anledning för att kunna danska och sju andra språk till, förresten?
Aiden Martin
jag studerar och arbetar i kommunikation
Jag har också bott i olika länder
Brayden Powell
Coolt Jag vill att jag kommer att kunna prata så där många språk i framtiden
Ryan Garcia
lycka till, men du måste resa i så fall!
Hudson King
>studying a language that will be dead in less than 50 years
Jeremiah Bailey
>lycka till Tack :)
>men du måste resa i så fall! Javisst, det vet jag Jag vill ju åka utomlands för att bli flytande i flera språk, men jag kan inte göra det just nu. Jag började plugga japanska i januari också, så jag har inte studerat svenska alls i senaste månader
Chase Richardson
No the ethnic Swedes will be dead, the language will live on. Same goes for french, english, german etc

>we take the Swedish language as our own >the Swedes die off but we still speak it online >we conglomerate, forming Swedish shitposting communities online >we become the vikings of the internet, conquering and spreading fear through our shitposts >others join us and join the Swedish language >eventually some people are reproductively successful >they teach Swedish to their children
>mfw the Swedish language is memed back to life by a bunch of shitposters
Landon Martin
kek That'd be kinda awesome, actually
Noah Parker
det verkar som om du är skicklig med det praktiska, så det kommer att bli lätt om du bor i det aktuella landet 2-3 månader.
Jag studerar franska på min fritid pt
Charles Murphy
Jag pluggar också svenska. Uttala är lite jobbigt, men jag kan läsa tonårsböcker och förstå det mesta.
Nathaniel Taylor
No, you are learning their language as a gratitude towards what the Swedes have done for Finland throughout its existence.
Austin Bell
The way that articles are used is somewhat annoying but not too bad. I just hope it doesn't inflect the nouns any further
Kayden Gray
i already do. As-salamu alaykum bro, you're gonna need when muzzies rape you all
Eli Diaz
Can someone translate "Shit country full of boring stuck up wankers, dying culture, useless language" for me?
Nathaniel Ramirez
Gott natt bröder

That comic looks great but the writting hurts.
Why can't she hire a proffesional writer and focus on drawing? Right, I know the answer, it's called arogance and infated ego.
