One of the few videos about the Swedish language that mentions the Estonian Coastal Swedish minority. Hälsningar från Estland!

Spoken Swedish sounds so beautiful, I may be considering to learn it in the future. Greetings from Italy

8:21 anyone also noticed "the birches" :D?

This video is 2yrs old. It's very informative, I can't believe I never found this channel before. :D

Very interesting. And yes, I'm German and it's so cool to see so many similarities between German and Swedish. It makes it a lot easier to learn.

"because for some reason the swedish government isn't interested in what language people speak at home" I LAUGHED :D

I study Swedish, because as a Dane I find it really embarrassing that I'm not able to understand much Swedish xD I understand maybe 50% when listening to Swedish and maybe 80% when reading.. I live in the west of Denmark and most people I know over here don't understand Swedish very well, while people living in the Copenhagen area understands Swedish almost perfectly :) Swedish pronunciation is really difficult for me though! xD

Jag tycker om det svenska språket.:-) Hälsningar från Finland! :-)

Germanic languages are my favourite branch of languages, thanks for making these videos.

Tack för att använda Mumin som en exempel till det svenska språket i aktion. Det varmar mitt hjärta varje gång när mitt kärä land blir nämnde av utlänningar :)

Thanks! I'm studing Swedish. I know almost nothing because I've just started some days ago xD. For me, it makes sense that å, ä and ö are different letters for Swedish people and not a a and o with accents. Because in Spanish (my native language) ñ is a different letter. And we don't think it's an n with a mark. And swedish verbs are easier. I know spanish verbs are complicated, specially for foreigners. Besides, our verb conjugations are too specific that we usually don't say the personal pronoun. For example. Corro todas las mañanas which means I run every morning. We already know corro is for yo because there isn't another option xD

I'm living on the coast of the Gulf of Finland in Saint-Petersburg but I'm not yet fluently speak Swedish but I am going to mend this mistake soon!

Hablas español, inglés y sueco? Whoa, eres mi héroe, ojalá sea tan bueno en idiomas cuando sea adulto, yyyyyy gracias por este y los otros videos enseñando sueco, me ayudan un montón y hacen un gran cambio en mi rutina de aprendizaje. I think its normal to speak english when you learn swedish, even if you aint actually good at grammar or pronunciation. To study swedish at duolingo you need to speak english and there's no swedish teacher I know where I live. Knowing english basics is a handfull tool to learn swedish. Luego de 6 meses de estudio, gracias a videos, libros y duolingo siento que he aprendido bastante, pero se vé como una pizca cuando me doy cuenta de que mi peor enemigo es la "i" sueca.

Thank you for reading some passages. There is a town near me in california, where people speak Swedish.

Excellent! That’s an amazingly complete introduction to a language, comprising history, phonetics, grammar and listening. Thank you very much!

Puerto Rican learning Swedish and this super helpful! Hälsningar från Puerto Rico!!!

I've been binging these videos and I'm a native Swedish speaker. Idk what I'm doing with my life.

well done! that's very helpful thanks.

Thank you! it's very helpful!

Excellent introduction!!

U R amazing, thank u so much for this series of vids! I've already started learning it. Greetings from China

I love this program so much

The Swedish -en Prefix sounds so much like a plural. My native Language is Dutch, and "Dogs" in Dutch is "Honden". "Cats" is "Katten". I'm going to make a ton of mistakes learning Swedish.

Man this is the best I am learning Swedish 2018 and made easy for me tack så mycket

I like that you compared with spanish, as I am an spanish speaker myself so it was easier. Loved your video, very informative, thank you!

These videos are really great so thanks! So nice to have the sounds finally broken down, describing the technique in detail! Ive been trying to learn Swedish on and off for a while using different self taught methods and i think I got an OK foundation now. But my speaking and pronunciation needs some work as I haven't had much experience speaking with natives so these videos are excellent! I would love it if you could make a short video that breaks down the Swedish E sound in more detail with technique. This is the one I always heard when visiting and couldn't figure out how to move my mouth to make that sound it has a really strange throaty/nasally sound especially when females use it! Look forward to more videos!!

Your videos are amazing , Thanks man ! , you are doing great job ! Even i am not native english speaker but , thanks man for teaching , great job :) do some more videos :)

Tack så mycket för den här video!! ♥ (Thank you so much for this video)....

I bet he is Swedish. I am norwegian but i understand swedish really well. He sounds like a native speaker. Love from Norway!

Great intro to languages!

This is good. Tack!

hello! thank you for these videos, i'm spanish & trying to learn swedish, i love the culture, the culture & the language itself. I really appreciate finding such a good explanation on YT, really, thank you (:

if you're a Swede visiting Estonia, then Aibolands museum in Haapsalu should be worth visiting. Also Ormsö is a small ferry ride away from there. I got here from a Danish video so... back to Danish. :I for now.

Really interesting, thanks!

Tack für videon🥰

I wish I had known this series existed when I began learning Swedish! I would've gotten it much faster. xD

*clicks away the "birches"* I'm sorry I couldn't stop laughing

to be fair, the swedish language shares a lot of words with the dutch language, for example; all day = hela dagen = hele dagen, landscape = landskap = landschap, knapsack = ryggsäcken = rugzak, happy = lycklig = gelukkig, himself = själv = zelf, tomorrow = morgondagen = morgen

I’ve been learning Norwegian for about a year now and so it’s really interesting to see similarities in other languages. Because it occurred to me how little people speak Norwegian and I was wondering if it was even worth learning until now.

Very Helpful!

yeah i have been trying to learn Swedish and so far i have learned to try to connect things and i can be hard, but so far my best connection is with the swedish word mannen or the man so i think of it as john madden it helps me a ton when trying to translate from swedish to english

Thank you for sharing this. A slight correction at around 8:20: "between the birches" instead of "bitches" :)

I like big playlists about things that I like to learn.

very nice, thank you

Jag älskar Svenska. Hälsningar från Indonesien!

I study Swedish, so I found this very interesting; one day I hope to visit Sweden.

I love that the passive aggressiveness in the explanation of how the letters å, ä and ö are just not some accented letters.

Great channel -- very methodical an well paced. Volume is a tad low; not too bad, but cranking it up a bit would be nice.

This is actually good, anyone wishing to learn a North European langauge, they should totally watch this channel

I am swedish and I can read dutch fairly well, but spoken is impossible except for a few words. German shares many words but accent and spoken is not similar or easy for us.

tack så mycket

Tack!

I am from Sweden!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!

Omg the last paragraph saying "between the bitches" instead of "birches" haha, anyway, amazing video, thank you so much,your channel is fantastic!

I’m Swedish and I’m watching this

I'm danish, so I was like, this should be easy enough to understand, but when you were reading the text aloud, I didn't understand at all, though I could follow along perfectly fine when reading it myself...

There is this sound that you have in words like hej it sounds like how stitch in Lilo and stitch speaks and it's very hard to pronounce. Any tips on how to pronounce it or video recommendations? Thanks for the video btw!

I am a german who learns swedish,It isn't really hard because the grammar is the same exept with the articel,and some words are so similar,that a german can read them,without any sweish knowledge for examble:In english:I choose. In german:Ich wähle.In swedish:Jag väljer. The letter v is has the same sound in swedish,as in german the letter w. It is really cool.

You didn't mention Faroese as a sister language... It's not big, but it exists.

Great videos! How can I get in touch with you? Can't locate your contact info. Tack!

And you could have added how ett and en efffects the whole sentence and its meaning

omg you did say every word right thats really god. //from a swede

I'm starting to learn Swedish 🙈

Åh nej! Momin-books should be read in their original language of moomintrolska (aka finlandssvenska/Finnish-Swedish) !

When you are a Swedish yourself and still finds this interesting xD gryma videos du har fortsätt med dem. Kan du inte berätta lite om Svenska stormakts tiden?

Actually Mumintrollet spoke Finland Swedish :)

do you provide skpe one on one sessions?

Once my German gets better I would like to learn Swedish! I wish I knew a cool dialect to try out alongside standard, I have a feeling the Estonian dialects are very uncommon nowadays seeing as most of them moved back so I bet most speakers are academics :/

Swedish has been on the list of my next new language for 45 years. :?(

genders in grammar is very confusing for English speakers, when you learn a new word how do you know if it's common or neuter? (or male/female)

6:51 Is there any system to whether a noun is common gender or neuter? In German (my language), whether a noun is masculine, feminine or neuter is completely random (Or rather based on cultural associations, not any grammatical logic).

It's a school night at 11 pm what am I doing?

Hi thank you I know this sounds crazy but I wanna learn Swedish because pewdipie But I’m so glad I found you

Bra kanal! Du kanske borde uttala platsnamn på svenska istället för att göra om dem till engelska. Ett exempel är Åland som du uttalade som en amerikan kanske skulle uttalat det.

is it a european thing to use commas instead of dots to do decimals?

That sample in the end does not sound like muminsvenska to me :D

what??? the verb ? No changes? Hooooooray!!!!

As a German I can understand not that less single words but no full sentences

Please can you give me any advice to learn Swedish faster,😑😑 And I subscribed already

❤❤❤❤❤❤

EKRE!

Isländska är dock något mer likt svenska än vad holländska och tyska är, och även färöiska som tyvärr saknades från filmen

I've spoken with a Dane, she said that swedes don't understand Danish and they will often switch to English...

Could you please explain why you have Estonian flag on all of the thumbnails when Swedish is not spoken in Estonia.

du kanske förvirrar dina tittare när du säger bekymra, när det står bekymrade till exempel. tänkte låta dig veta det bara :)

Hi from🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I'm Finnish and I was often called out for pronouncing Tove Jansson's name as 'toove' and not 'tuuve', and then here's a native Swede pronouncing it like toby, wtf

I have a question, why do you not say some of the words in swedish like "är" sometimes you don't say it... I probably didn't make any sense -_-

Yes yes also fun thing. Dutch people are more able too understand swedish. Then vice versa

The Icelandinc numbers were not that much more different from Norwegian/Danish than Swedish!

Is it me or does och sound like just and o? Is it just like how he pronounce and as n?

Hej

När han började prata svenska blev hans röst mindre taggad eller hur man skriver.

hey

Aland? Åland!

"Correis" is "We run" in Spanish from Spain, the Vosotros form "Corremos" is "We run" in Spanish not from Spain, the Nosotros form Very nice video though. Very informative and helpful

Are you swedish? Ps jag är det/i am swedish

Tere

"Swedish is not too closely related to German." >Hund >Katt ????????

Few corrections: The share of the Swedish speakers in Finland is officially 5.2%, not 5.5%. If the Åland Islands are exluded, the share is 4.8%. In reality the share is somewhat smaller, because many (most?) bilingual couples in bilingual municipalities register Swedish as the official language of their children - regardless of the actual language of use of the family. That's because Finland is one of the few countries - if not the only one - where speaking (officially) the minority language is in several ways more beneficial than speaking the majority one. There are no more unilingual Swedish language municipalities in continental Finland. All municipalities in the mainland are either unilingually Finnish or bilingual. Most of the official Swedish speakers are fluent in Finnish too, many of them are bilingual and some of them even stronger in Finnish.
