Hey /int/ we're learning a new language, Swedish.
Most of us just started yesterday, so join us today and don't be left behind.
Swedish was chosen for its variety of learning resources, relative simplicity, and how related it is to English.
This thread is for discussion about learning Swedish, or just discussion in Swedish. Share your favorite language learning tools and ask fluent speakers questions.

I'm at work now, just thought I'd make the thread real quick so nobody thinks I've already given up.
Jävla tittan fittan
>>60622556
I don't have any strong interest in learning Swedish, but what the hell. I might try to learn it with you guys.
>>60622556
Meh, boring choice. The proximity to English makes it uninteresting.
Good luck though.

If it was too difficult nobody would stick to it.
>not learning butifel polish for a true challenge
oh I'm laffin
>>60623139
Sure, but it's not like indo-european languages have a monopoly on being simple.
Something like, say, swahili would have been manageable. Bit harder since it's a different language group, but still simple enough to work as a language learned to a low level for the hell of it.
I am swedish AMA

okay, not like I have anything better to do, count me in

;___;
break time. Everyone still with me?
Jag talar inte svenska still, but I'm having fun. How far have you guys gotten?
>>60625515
do you have a chatroom or what
If you want to learn Scandinavian language for fun it should be Norwegian
>>60625723
fuck offfffffffffffffffff
>>60625553
Nah, not yet.
I'll make one tonight when I get off work or something. That's not for another 7 hours though.
>>60625723
I personally like Swedish a lot. Plus it's basically slightly gay sounding Norwegian, isn't it? (I thought this long before I came to /int/, so it's not memes)
>>60625723
lolno, swedish is official language in more than 1 country, best scandi movies and tv shows are swedish and swedes make the best music
>>60622556
I've decided to retake Russian after 1 month of work (got a semi-decent level, started declension, future, past) and 1 month of wait.
Apart from the alphabet I forget everything
Also, the old method was fast, efficient for the grammar but had shitty vocabulary choices, the new one has no real exercises before lesson 50

thanks pekka

>>60625972
Shit I thought it was language learning general
>>60625515
Fix a chatroom or something, i can help if you do.
>>60626079
No worries man. Sad you're too busy with Russian to learn Swedish with us. Good luck with that.
>>60625938
You can understand Swedish if you speak norwegian
>>60626097
See >>60625862
I'm at work, an I've got to get back to it now. If you'd like you can take control for now. Make up a good OP and such. I'd be grateful.
>>60626069
Hey, you forgot to turn on your proxy
>>60626180
I am about to fall asleep so i cant but if you make one when you get home i can find the thread when i wake up.

That's nice of you
Actually Swedish is in my (veeeery) long list
German
Russian
Finnish (going to go there for school)
Swedish-Spanish-Italian (pick 1) would be nice
>>60627624
pls dont even try to learn anything more than basic finnish, its for your own good
>>60627713
its not that hard to learn
>>60627713
Can't be estonian-tier
>öö
>jäääär
Those are legit Estonian words
>>60627903
it is hard and it is useless since all finns worth talking to can speak fluent english or swedish
If you want to go to Sweden just learn Arabic
>>60622556
why
trash language trash people
>>60627978
But the memes, Peter
The memes
Would people laugh at me if I tried to communicate in (obviously broken) finnish ?
>>60628030

>>60628044
most likely they would give a little smile and say its nice that you bothered to learn at least some words of the language, even basic stuff like kiitos goes a long way for you in here
Official language is soon arabic anyway, so why even learn swedish.
They even have arabic at some signs already, no joke.

Yeah, we know. When we held the vote, we weren't considering usefulness. Toki pona and Esperanto came in a close second. We're just doing this to make another /int/ lingua franca
Though personally, I kind of like the way Swedish sounds. Shame about its fate
Hej int! Jag ska ga till Lund om tva manader för att plugga, still level 3 on duolingo though.
Should I directly approach people in English or will people be touched by the effort?
>>60630920
just say basic stuff like hej min svensk är inte så bra and continue in english, thats what i did and nobody was bothered at all
>>60630920
i think people will like it if you try to speak swedish but they will switch to english if you struggle.
Still i think you should try, its worth it if only for the practice.
>Danish: used in Denmark and Greenland, taught in Faroe and Iceland
>Swedish: used in Sweden taught in Finland
>Norwegian: only Norway
>Nynorsk: hillbilly language used in black metal
Still like Nynorsk the best because Gorgoroth, Windir, etc
is 4chan still ded
>>60630920
It will work out fine, most swedish people have a decent enough knowledge of the english language. At least among the younger generations
>>60630675
I've always been curious, how does it actually sound like in your opinion? To peoåp
>>60630401
Norwegians sound too damn happy and pleased with life all the time even tho black metal, you can't take them seriously
Why bother learning a soon to be dead language?
Just learn Arabic brothers.
>>60633037
To people who are from other countries ofc* sorry i'm kinda drunk
>>60633037
It sounds a lot softer than the other Germanic languages except maybe English (not sure there, I don't have perspective). It doesn't sound threatening or harsh, it sounds really gentle.
It seems like you guys don't use harsh sounds much at all. It's kind of pleasant to listen to
Jag gillar svenska cunt
>>60633280
Oh, interesting. :) yeah, maybe I could see that, even more with Norway. I don't know shit about the history of languages and stuff but it sure sounds like that's the most similar language to ours so I'm guessing it is
>>60633419
By the way, what does peoåp mean? I checked a dictionary but it didn't have it
>>60633298
Svensk fitta*
>>60633502

>>60633502
I've never heard about that word, maybe it's spelled different or something, where did you hear it from?
>>60633511
fuck this shit I'm learning Norwegian instead
>>60633572
Thanks
>>60633584
Literally this thread
>>60633037
>>60633624
Jeg giller Svensker Fitte
>>60633711
wow it's literally a Swedish dialect
Norsk er bedre fåvæ
>>60633663
Oh just discovered my mistake in hindsight haha. But whatever
>>60633827
det är det norrbaggarna vill att folk ska tro men i själva verket har de det minst utvecklade språket favä.
Hur kan man vara så hanrejad att man skriver på danska men talar svenska?
Kan inte hitta på detta
Bunch of cucks.
>>60633932
>denmark and skåne is just poop
i can accept this
poop is also great fertilizer for potatoes so it makes sense
>>60633931
dfn du er en amerikansk hvem ikke egentlig snakker norsk, du er halvveis gjennom læring det, og du fortsatt supplere med Google Translate.
>>60634018
I like that they're a bit more laid back and not as much afraid to speak their minds in general than most swedes tho. But the Skåne dialect and danish language is still an issue haha
>>60634323
EN SVENSK TIGER
I've been learning Swedish on duolingo for some time now (going slow as fuck, but no hurries) and I was wondering if someone would like to be there to lend me a hand from time to time.
Like with "har du det bekvämt?" I still have a hard time remembering (and understanding) why it's said like that.
In exchange I could help with Spanish if someone is interested (even if they can't help me with Swedish).
>>60635131
I could! For a while at least, I can't promise how commited I will be but I have no problems with answering questions and stuff if you're interested
>>60635353
Awesome!
As I said, I'm going pretty slow (I'm now with adjectives) and well, people in the comments tend to explain things quite well, but not always.
>>60635504
Is there any specific words or stuff that I could help with right now?
>>60635655
I think my biggest problem is the mentioned before. The use of "har" when in English you say "are" and the det, why do I need that?
I'm finally getting used to the V2 rule, the verb in second place (still sounds weird, but at least I remember about it)
The only swedish I remember is påskmust, julmust and snopp.
>>60635980
bög xd
been learning Swedish on and off for about a year (though I've been seriously lacking). Visited Sweden for 3 months and everyone spoke english with me so I didn't learn much tb h
is there an IRC group or something?
>>60635803
>verb in second place
Oh that's great, I've been learning German for the past yer so this will come naturally. Is it the same where a yes or no question will have the verb in first position? "Sprichst du deutsch?" "Talar du svenska?
>>60636197
I just got home from work, I'll be setting some stuff up. I'll have it all good by tomorrow mornin
>>60636384
I think so.
In general it's easy, you see how it feels right where it is, but I did find some sentences (I can't think of any right now) where I'd put the verb at the end when it shouldn't have been there.
There's an introduction to it here if you want to check it out: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/8970470
>>60636411
okej. Godnatt!
>>60636384
Oh cool, another German speaker. So far Swedish is coming really easily to me because of the similarities. You?
>>60636411
>donken kom precis hem från 12 timmars skift mellan 6 pm och 6 am
>>60636653
If it's the same as German, then I'm golden.
I doubt it's exactly the same though, so thanks for the link.
>>60636739
I've only been learning German for a year, so I'm still pretty shitty at it.
How does everyone feel about making a group using some web based chat, rather than something you have to download a client for?
>>60636872
I'm at around the same frame. I'm good enough to read news articles and lurk /deutsch/ but I don't post much. Partially because I'm self-conscious, partially because I have nothing to really add
Yeah, a web based thing would be pretty good. Easier for everyone to get into too
>>60636872
It's hardly going to be the same
You're welcome though
Oh, and for those interested, there's a facebook group where a teacher posts some grammar and vocabulary notes on dropbox, as well as some movies he recommends, news websites and that kind of stuff. Not too often, but is a nice support I think.
>>60633037
>>60633171
The first time I heard it ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70aDA14FfUQ ), the intonations made me think of an extremely pretentious person bragging. Basically like a rich annoying French kid.
