This week, I want to share with you some sounds that Swedes make during a conversation. It’s so interesting that different languages have different sounds… I mean, it’s kind of obvious, why would we have the same sounds across languages?

But it’s something you don’t really think about until you hear someone use sounds that don’t quite fit the language they’re speaking.

Today, you’ll learn how to sound more Swedish! This topic is honestly a bit hard to explain sometimes… but once you hear it, you start noticing it everywhere. And more importantly, once you start using it, your Swedish suddenly sounds a lot more natural.

This week, you will learn something that will make your Swedish a bit more flexible!

Modal verbs are small verbs that work together with another verb to change the meaning of the sentence. With just a few of them, you suddenly gain the ability to talk about abilities, plans, obligations, and intentions.

Today, you will listen to a little short story in Swedish. The story is called En borttappad plånbok, which means A lost wallet.

It is a simple story about losing something important, looking for it, and then hopefully finding it again. The language is not too difficult, but it might include a few new words.

Today we’re stepping into something that feels small in theory… but can quietly cause a lot of doubt when you speak.

Today, we’re going to talk about långa meningar, long sentences in Swedish. Or perhaps not LOOONG long, but longer than we have been working on so far.

We will, of course, revisit this topic many times, but this is your first introduction to our main and subordinate clauses.
