This is probably why when I try to watch a Swedish TV program online, I often can't understand anything, but if I turn on the Swedish subtitles, I find it easy to understand. A lot of people have told me that they have learned languages (such as French) well enough to read books in those languages, but still can't understand what the actors are saying when they watch TV shows or movies in those languages. (In Danish, there seem to be reductions in every word.)

The other problem with some Swedish courses (Duolingo, Rosette Stone) is the spoken Swedish is formal and will include these omitted letters in speech examples. If you play the slow version of a phrase on Duo, it will include omitted letters like someone speaking with extreme emphasis or to a child. And speech recognition for exercises speaking frequently require those omitted letters. I've gotten used to saying JaGGG to try to get Duo to give me credit for saying Jag.

Duo has the worst pronunciation ever. Not only for some words that are just wrong (especially when it comes to ö), but the whole prosody is completely wrong. Rosetta Stone is much better (my swede friends approve) and also has a much better speech recognition.

Thank you so much for this video, I have a similar problem. I am so much better in writing and spelling than speaking the Swedish language. This is because I use apps like duolingo when I started.

As I said in a comment on another video: Swedish HAS sounded almost exactly as it is written, but that was in the 1300s and earlier, and ironically some sounds then didn't sound like today, because Swedish went through the Great Vowel Dance in the 1400s. Old Swedish u and o sounded like in modern German and v sounded like w in modern English, and the th sounds existing in modern English words like 'this' and 'father' still existed in Swedish then.

Same with Danish, we don’t pronunce a significant amount of words as they are written in standard Danish but do in fact pronunce many of them as they are written in Norwegian bokmål, so the Norwegians was ahead of us simplifying the language.

I need dialogues with Swedish subtitles. My idea is: what about recreating famous scenes of films? Take any famous film, for example "The Matrix", and recreate the dialogue of a certain scene but in Swedish, with Swedish subtitles.

Hi Daniella, can I ask if the clips you showed in the video are from the beginner or from the intermediate course? They have been very eloquent and may have convinced me to take your course at Fun Swedish 🥰 Thanks in advance.
