Well /int/ the votes are in, and we're learning Swedish.
Share your learning strategies, and your progress.
Check out the sticky for some useful language learning resources, start the duo lingo trees, lets get this ball rolling! This thread is for learners to practice/discuss what we're learning and scandis to correct us.
Might be a little slow at first, as we're all hard at work learning a new language.

Why would we learn Swedish? To read a Qu'ran?

To all speak a common language that isn't English, and also to destroy the enemy you must first understand him/her/xir/xem/phi.
>>60595085

Forget it. Swedish is impossible.

i fucking hate this sound, this is what prevented me from learning swedish last year
>>60595183
Not him, but Swedish is literally the gayest language on earth.
>>60595206
Who cares about pronunciation. Americans don't pronounce English like Britbongs either right. If it's understandable you're good.
>>60595206
>implying we'll actually be speaking it and not just typing
Even if we were like in vocaroo threads, I'm sure we'll get it eventually or close enough to it
>>60595241
>Who cares about pronunciation
This.
Especially since we'll be mostly typing it anyway.
>>60595076
Good choice
Svenska är inte svårt alls
Man kan ju bli rätt duktig på det om man använder Duolingo i ett par månader
I want to learn Swedish
>>60595311
It's easy as fuck for a English speaker to learn, so go get started and you should be able to say whole very simple sentences by the time this thread 404s.

You're confusing it with Dutch.
>Who cares about pronunciation
Smart people.
>Americans don't pronounce English like Britbongs either right.
That's why American English is the standard for the world.
Anyone know how multiple verbs work yet or I am jumping the gun?
It's a fact that every english-speaker who speaks swedish sounds like a gay fashion designer.
>>60595467
kek
>>60595467
It's probably because they speak Swedish.
>>60595467
How would you know what a gay fashion designer sounds like? You must be dating one.
>>60595445
Sequences of verbs?
As in "Mannen vill äta smörgås" and "Jag kommer att spela schack"?
Some verb sequences require "att" between the verbs and some don't. You just have to get used to it and learn one by one, I guess
Let's study Swedish vocabulary.

In Dutch all Germans sound gay as fuck. Americans sound like cowboys. Regardless where they're from they'll end up sounding like Texans.
As a native spanish speaker, this shit is very awkward for me to pronounce. I like it tho.
>>60595516
>Sequences of verbs?
Yeah
Thanks, I didn't know where the 2nd verb would go or what needs to be done to it. Like how in German they have set places where they need to be
>>60595537

>>60595539
>In Dutch all Germans sound gay as fuck
Why? I can take a guess at why we'd sound that way but why do they sound like retards?
>>60595598
In english Germans sound pretty gay too m8.
>>60595598
Stop talking to that idiot.

>>60595553
Oh, I get what you mean. The verb will almost always come second in a sentence, except in subordinate negative clauses (I think this is what they're called)
For example:
>Jag älskar inte henne (I don't love her)
Verb appears before the adverb "inte"
>Jag sa att jag inte älskar henne (I said that I don't love her)
"Att" makes the clause subordinate and, thus, the verb appears after the adverb "inte"

>Why would we learn Swedish?
It's a gateway language to other languages. Don't mind learning anything else before you learn Swedish, you'll learn better with Swedish.
You can learn any language better if you first learn Swedish. Even languages not related to Swedish, because learning Swedish is culturally enrichening.
We also have to learn Swedish so that we can better discuss our Swedish friends here on /int/, even if they are in the minority and the majority knows English.
And should we not learn Swedish, the Swedish language will suddenly cease to exist and you are a racist.
t. Finnish government and it's mandatory Swedish poltics

When I took Swedish classes on my exchange in Finland, they taught us the homo Stockholm dialect by the book. My Fennoswedish teacher did not however, and we learned by her dialect. I also have relatives in a little town across the water from Umeå, and so I did my best to speak Swedish like a Finland Swede. I met with a relative and he told me I was doing well with it, which was nice. People there were really wonderfully friendly and it was one of my best and most treasured travel experiences.
Here's a pic from the town.
>>60595598
Same as in English. Except in Dutch the German accent comes out a lot more clearly. I guess due to the close relation between the languages it's easier to fall back on German pronunciation habits.
jag kan tala 8 språk och jag tror att svenska är mycket lätt att lära det enda som är svårt är uttalet. du måste stanna i landet för att få den optimala accent tbqf
>>60595756
Germans generally like our accents. Although they say we sound like drunken farmers.
>>60595782
att lära sig* favä

>>60595748
Dont get too much into it i heard finlandsvenska is wacky as fuck to native swedes with its rough finnish accent and somewhat archaic vocabulary retained from the 1800s
>>60595893
Gott natt
Vi ses senare
>>60595892
Förlåt. Jag ville inte verka oförskämd.
Jag har bara pluggat svenska i ett år, så jag är inte så där flytande på det heller.
>>60595893
God natt, anon

>>60595658
>subordinate
subjunctive mood?
>"Att" makes the clause subordinate and,
if we're talking about moods (not sure what you mean w subordinate here) wouldn't it be the verb "Sa" that makes älskar subjunctive and not att?
>>60595959
I was told just the accent is older, apparently the upper-middle class Swedish accent from c. 1770. I just went for accent anyways, but textbook Swedish. I still put in a few hours a week of study.
>>60595994
haha nej jag skojar bara
jag talar danska flytande så jag fuska lite

aaah du kallar det "underordningsbindeord" i danska. översatt: subordinate "tying-words" (conjunctions; subordinate conjunctions)
trevligt!
>>60596189
Vad har du för anledning för att kunna danska och sju andra språk till, förresten?
>>60596263

Jag har också bott i olika länder

Coolt
Jag vill att jag kommer att kunna prata så där många språk i framtiden
>>60596395
lycka till, men du måste resa i så fall!
>studying a language that will be dead in less than 50 years
>>60596429
>lycka till
Tack :)
>men du måste resa i så fall!
Javisst, det vet jag
Jag vill ju åka utomlands för att bli flytande i flera språk, men jag kan inte göra det just nu.
Jag började plugga japanska i januari också, så jag har inte studerat svenska alls i senaste månader
>>60596471
No the ethnic Swedes will be dead, the language will live on. Same goes for french, english, german etc
>>60596561
>we take the Swedish language as our own
>the Swedes die off but we still speak it online
>we conglomerate, forming Swedish shitposting communities online
>we become the vikings of the internet, conquering and spreading fear through our shitposts
>others join us and join the Swedish language
>eventually some people are reproductively successful
>they teach Swedish to their children
>mfw the Swedish language is memed back to life by a bunch of shitposters
>>60596651
kek That'd be kinda awesome, actually
>>60596534
det verkar som om du är skicklig med det praktiska, så det kommer att bli lätt om du bor i det aktuella landet 2-3 månader.
Jag studerar franska på min fritid pt
Jag pluggar också svenska. Uttala är lite jobbigt, men jag kan läsa tonårsböcker och förstå det mesta.
>>60595685
No, you are learning their language as a gratitude towards what the Swedes have done for Finland throughout its existence.
The way that articles are used is somewhat annoying but not too bad. I just hope it doesn't inflect the nouns any further
>>60595076
i already do. As-salamu alaykum bro, you're gonna need when muzzies rape you all

That comic looks great but the writting hurts.
Why can't she hire a proffesional writer and focus on drawing? Right, I know the answer, it's called arogance and infated ego.
