Being able to talk about something that has happened in the past and explain it clearly is a great skill to have. It’s easy to feel stuck when you don’t know how to weave things together and express what happened, when, with whom, why, and how it felt. Sometimes, you even get stuck when trying to START the story!

Let’s fix that today.

This week, we are going to play a little game to learn some new vocabulary and challenge your Swedish comprehension. Du ska gissa vilken film jag beskriver. You are going to guess what movie I’m describing… in Swedish!

I will be describing different movies that I think a lot of people have seen. If you haven’t seen the movie, it’ll of course be difficult. But you can still learn some new words along the way!

The correct answers will be posted in a few days! 😎

A few weeks ago we talked about “inte” and where to place it in a sentence. Today we’re talking about all the different ways to say no, not, nothing, and never in Swedish.

Today we’re going to do something very important. Vi ska klaga. We’re going to complain… in Swedish.

Not in a dramatic way, but the kind of complaining you hear all the time. Every day. When something is annoying, when you’re tired, when things don’t work the way they should. This is extremely useful, because this is how people actually talk in real life. And honestly, how a lot of people connect and socialize! For better and worse.

This week, we’re diving into a cultural phenomenon that confuses and frustrates some people from other parts of the world. At least when it comes time to interact with Swedes and perhaps try to make plans with them.

We are talking about Swedish politeness and what we call “soft no’s”.

You might have heard people say that Swedes are hard to read, unclear, or even a bit fake. That we don’t say what we mean. I don’t really agree with that, to be honest.

Silence is normal when practicing your new language. Because you won't be able to think of all the words you know at lightning speed!

The good news is that you do not need advanced Swedish to keep a conversation alive! You just need a few simple tools, and once you have them, everything becomes easier and more natural.

So today we are going to focus on exactly that. How to keep a conversation going in Swedish in a way that feels relaxed and natural.
