Hey Sup Forums we're learning a new language, Swedish.
Most of us just started yesterday, so join us today and don't be left behind.
Swedish was chosen for its variety of learning resources, relative simplicity, and how related it is to English.
This thread is for discussion about learning Swedish, or just discussion in Swedish. Share your favorite language learning tools and ask fluent speakers questions.
Sure, but it's not like indo-european languages have a monopoly on being simple. Something like, say, swahili would have been manageable. Bit harder since it's a different language group, but still simple enough to work as a language learned to a low level for the hell of it.

Jag talar inte svenska still, but I'm having fun. How far have you guys gotten?
Isaiah Sanchez
do you have a chatroom or what
Jayden Foster
If you want to learn Scandinavian language for fun it should be Norwegian
Isaiah Barnes
fuck offfffffffffffffffff
Brayden White
Nah, not yet.
I'll make one tonight when I get off work or something. That's not for another 7 hours though.
Elijah Anderson
I personally like Swedish a lot. Plus it's basically slightly gay sounding Norwegian, isn't it? (I thought this long before I came to Sup Forums, so it's not memes)
Chase Foster
lolno, swedish is official language in more than 1 country, best scandi movies and tv shows are swedish and swedes make the best music
Hudson Lopez
I've decided to retake Russian after 1 month of work (got a semi-decent level, started declension, future, past) and 1 month of wait.
Apart from the alphabet I forget everything Also, the old method was fast, efficient for the grammar but had shitty vocabulary choices, the new one has no real exercises before lesson 50
Aiden Cooper
thanks pekka
James Hughes

Easton Howard
Shit I thought it was language learning general
Hudson Nguyen
Fix a chatroom or something, i can help if you do.
Jeremiah Perry
No worries man. Sad you're too busy with Russian to learn Swedish with us. Good luck with that.
Connor Rogers
You can understand Swedish if you speak norwegian
Landon Kelly
See I'm at work, an I've got to get back to it now. If you'd like you can take control for now. Make up a good OP and such. I'd be grateful.
Alexander Walker
Hey, you forgot to turn on your proxy
Carson Johnson

Actually Swedish is in my (veeeery) long list
German Russian Finnish (going to go there for school) Swedish-Spanish-Italian (pick 1) would be nice
Lucas James
pls dont even try to learn anything more than basic finnish, its for your own good
Zachary Lee
its not that hard to learn
Henry Cook
Can't be estonian-tier >öö >jäääär
Those are legit Estonian words
Lucas Peterson
it is hard and it is useless since all finns worth talking to can speak fluent english or swedish
Hudson Martin
If you want to go to Sweden just learn Arabic
Sebastian Thomas
why
trash language trash people
Luke Russell
But the memes, Peter
The memes
Would people laugh at me if I tried to communicate in (obviously broken) finnish ?

Evan Sanchez
most likely they would give a little smile and say its nice that you bothered to learn at least some words of the language, even basic stuff like kiitos goes a long way for you in here
Isaiah Ramirez
Official language is soon arabic anyway, so why even learn swedish. They even have arabic at some signs already, no joke.
Benjamin Powell
Hvorfor må du være 20 år for å handle på systembolaget, selv om aldersgrensa på ǿl er 18?
Oliver Cruz
This. Norwegian sounds qter

För att vårat land har haft idioter till politiker, man kan köpa upp till 3,5 % i vanliga butiker. Det är dock 18 på krogen

Joining the discussion is beta
Matthew Lee
Yeah, we know. When we held the vote, we weren't considering usefulness. Toki pona and Esperanto came in a close second. We're just doing this to make another Sup Forums lingua franca
Though personally, I kind of like the way Swedish sounds. Shame about its fate
Cameron Hill
Hej int! Jag ska ga till Lund om tva manader för att plugga, still level 3 on duolingo though. Should I directly approach people in English or will people be touched by the effort?
Jason Long
just say basic stuff like hej min svensk är inte så bra and continue in english, thats what i did and nobody was bothered at all
David Williams
i think people will like it if you try to speak swedish but they will switch to english if you struggle. Still i think you should try, its worth it if only for the practice.
Ian Nguyen
>Danish: used in Denmark and Greenland, taught in Faroe and Iceland >Swedish: used in Sweden taught in Finland >Norwegian: only Norway >Nynorsk: hillbilly language used in black metal
Still like Nynorsk the best because Gorgoroth, Windir, etc
Jack James
is Sup Forums still ded
Cooper Allen
It will work out fine, most swedish people have a decent enough knowledge of the english language. At least among the younger generations
Brody Sanders
I've always been curious, how does it actually sound like in your opinion? To peoåp
Adrian Cruz
Norwegians sound too damn happy and pleased with life all the time even tho black metal, you can't take them seriously
Jose Young
Why bother learning a soon to be dead language?
Just learn Arabic brothers.
Evan Gray
To people who are from other countries ofc* sorry i'm kinda drunk
Ethan Gomez
It sounds a lot softer than the other Germanic languages except maybe English (not sure there, I don't have perspective). It doesn't sound threatening or harsh, it sounds really gentle. It seems like you guys don't use harsh sounds much at all. It's kind of pleasant to listen to
Jayden Jackson
Jag gillar svenska cunt
Charles Cooper
Oh, interesting. :) yeah, maybe I could see that, even more with Norway. I don't know shit about the history of languages and stuff but it sure sounds like that's the most similar language to ours so I'm guessing it is
Robert Long
By the way, what does peoåp mean? I checked a dictionary but it didn't have it
Isaiah Mitchell
Svensk fitta*
Tyler Ross
not him but
Ethan Jenkins
I've never heard about that word, maybe it's spelled different or something, where did you hear it from?
Jordan Peterson
fuck this shit I'm learning Norwegian instead
Jaxon Scott
Thanks Literally this thread
Aiden Campbell
Jeg giller Svensker Fitte
James Cooper
wow it's literally a Swedish dialect
Samuel King
Norsk er bedre fåvæ
Jose Cook
Oh just discovered my mistake in hindsight haha. But whatever
Christian Murphy
det är det norrbaggarna vill att folk ska tro men i själva verket har de det minst utvecklade språket favä. Hur kan man vara så hanrejad att man skriver på danska men talar svenska? Kan inte hitta på detta
Isaiah Jenkins
Bunch of cucks.
Austin Scott
>denmark and skåne is just poop i can accept this poop is also great fertilizer for potatoes so it makes sense
Julian Gray
dfn du er en amerikansk hvem ikke egentlig snakker norsk, du er halvveis gjennom læring det, og du fortsatt supplere med Google Translate.
Hunter Flores
I like that they're a bit more laid back and not as much afraid to speak their minds in general than most swedes tho. But the Skåne dialect and danish language is still an issue haha
Landon Hill

Kayden Hill
I've been learning Swedish on duolingo for some time now (going slow as fuck, but no hurries) and I was wondering if someone would like to be there to lend me a hand from time to time. Like with "har du det bekvämt?" I still have a hard time remembering (and understanding) why it's said like that. In exchange I could help with Spanish if someone is interested (even if they can't help me with Swedish).
Nathan Robinson
I could! For a while at least, I can't promise how commited I will be but I have no problems with answering questions and stuff if you're interested
Thomas Stewart
Awesome! As I said, I'm going pretty slow (I'm now with adjectives) and well, people in the comments tend to explain things quite well, but not always.
