Agree, but Carl's father was an immigrant in the early 1900s so no wonder he taught his son perfect Swedish. But it has nothing to the with the old Minnesota-Swedish. Gordon Hallstrom is a better example of a speaker of Minnesota-Swedish, it resembles the dialects from the province of Dalecarlia a lot I think.
Carl Boberg has amazing Swedish... Fluent and no american accent really. Amazing! The rest were quite bad and had strong accents, but it's still nice to hear them trying and preserving the little swedish culture that's left.
It's true, but Carl's father came to Minnesota in the early 1900s so no wonder he taught his son perfect Swedish. It has nothing to do with old Minnesota-Swedish though.
And I love the fact that he's (obviously) speaking "old" Swedish as well, as it's changed a bit over the last 100 years. You'll Still come across those old accents with old people, but that's rare
It doesn't sound really old to me. And he *does* have an accent, although I'd say he sounds 95% Swedish. The only "old" feature might be that he doesn't use modern slang words.
Nah not perfect. There's still an accent there. It's slight but you can hear it (and the grammar is a bit off like with the guy before him; not AS off though). He's got the melody of the language down real well though; that's what makes all the difference (most foreigners never get close).
Jag vill så gärna åka till någon stad i USA där många Svenskar (Svenskättlingar) bor. Gärna Mora, då jag är från Dalarna och trakterna kring Mora. I would love to visit a town in the US with many Swedish speaking ppl in. I would like to visit Mora in US since I'm from Dalarna in Sweden.
Gordon Hallstrom - I wonder if his dad was from Gotland? Carl's dad was definitely from Stockholm or lived there. It is amazing to hear the old Swedish accents and way of speaking preserved like this!
❤Nope! My darling Gordon is my mothers beloved cousin and his Swedish accents come from northern Sweden. Nearest big town is Örnsköldsvik. My grandpa and his two brothers went to Amerika 1902. But my grandpa Olle got sick and turned back home 1906 and started our familybranch. ❤😊
It's pretty cool to see people living today speaking Swedish like they did in the early 1900s. It's like a time capsule of the Swedish language, even though most have a very distinctly american accent.
thats usually what happens with immigrant language, I know Fins say the same thing about Finnish people living in sweden, its like the language stood still here while it evolved in the home coutnry,
Carl Boberg låter väldigt lik Christer Pettersson i hans intervjuer. Menar inget illa med det men det är något med rösten/dialekten och hans sätt att uttrycka sig. Riktigt fin video.
I love the Swedish people. I understand a little bit of their language. In Sweden, when I lived there forty years ago, I thought that they were arrogant... Over here, they're Americans who had a big part in building this Nation. Don't remember how to speak that language much,any longer... But.... They're always gonna be in my heart.❤️ Heja Sverige!!!
Yeah I agree, believe it's because there are so much hustlers in this world now and that some ridicule that way of being because sometimes if you're to honest and to fair you'll loose.
To have a monarchy in 2021 is....to much 1721 in my opinion. Time to get rid off it. But, the king has no power, we have a democracy. The king and his family are just a(n unnecessary) show. 🎪🏰
They have traits of Scandinavian culture, but it's Scandinavian culture from 100+years ago. Todays Scandinavians are not at all hard working and they're extremely protective of their free time.
yasashii89 Not hard working? The reason we're protective of our time is because hard working people have fought for better working conditions through unions and whatnot, and as a result we enjoy the highest standards of living in the world. It's not about laziness, it's about quality of life.
hard work is stupid today better to work smart and effective strength comes through the quality of the work you do and then it adds to your quality of life
Yes its the old Lutheran theme "Bed och arbeta". No one of the snowflakes of today knows this.They think they'fe gonna die from "Global warming" and what not...
Carl Boberg is speaking flawless Swedish, amazing!
Yes i almost thought that he was born in Sweden

His Swedish was really genuine old timer Swedish

Carl Boberg, very impressive he speaks perfect Swedish without even an accent.
Yes, he is great!

Carl Boberg pratar ju bra svenska :)
Han skulle klara sig här på svenska och alla skulle tro att han var svensk.
@@PMMagro men det är han också ahhahah!
Men du har nog rätt, alla skulle tro att han var född och uppvuxen i sitt faderland Sverige!
Den late bär hellre ihjäl sig än går två gånger 😂😂😂
Lat mans börda.
Carl sounded Swedish born! His pronouncation was a genuine Swedish boomer gubbe voice wow.
Inte alls haha den amerikanska brytningen är ju uppenbar
@@vanpike1649 som svensk hör man brytningen tydligt men man missförstår inte orden han säger, han är bra på sitt uttalande
Holy hell that guy Carl speaks so good swedish and he sounds exactly like the accent around my city and municipality!
Grandparents settled in Dassel; I am always proud of my Swedish heritage! Thank you for posting!
So interesting to hear the accents, in both English and Swedish! This mix of American and regional Swedish accents.
Carls svenska har inte utvecklas under de senaste 100 år haha så könt att inte höra en massa slang, ja joina skara ganget
Jag vill så gärna åka till någon stad i USA där många Svenskar (Svenskättlingar) bor. Gärna Mora, då jag är från Dalarna och trakterna kring Mora.
I would love to visit a town in the US with many Swedish speaking ppl in. I would like to visit Mora in US since I'm from Dalarna in Sweden.
Mr Hallstroms relatives in the video is from Mora. Their name was Hellström in Sweden, but obviously, they had to change it to Hallstrom.
Gordon Hallstrom - I wonder if his dad was from Gotland? Carl's dad was definitely from Stockholm or lived there. It is amazing to hear the old Swedish accents and way of speaking preserved like this!
I think Gordon's accent reminds me of the dialects of Dalecarlia (Dalarna).
@@sungod86 Yes, you might be right.

I'm really impressed by Carl Bobergs Swedish, it's clean and fluent.
Wow these are real Swedes! More Swedes than we are here in Sweden! I feel so proud to see this
Det var en bra reportage. Tack
Aaah, they're speaking Swedish as well as I speak Finnish!
So fun to se as a Swede. Thank you

What is interesting you can tell from the way they talk that its "old swedish"
Its makes me so happy that swedish americans are so proud of their heritage
Wow, it's truly reamrkable to see that the scandinavian culture lives in even now in America. These people are truly amazing
Frank Lindholms dad was from Skara, 10 miles from where I live. Amazing.
Miles eller mil?
@@jonasthemovie Miles
I am from Skara too. And i have relatives too that migrated from Sweden to the U.S.A.
Trust, honesty , fairness 💙💛💙
Carl låter som att han bot i Sverige hela sitt liv. 😮👍
Carls swedish is very impressive!
1:40 i thought the guy asked the horse, and the horse responded. I just woke up and haven't eaten anything, prob why lol.
Fantastic... Good luck froom Sweden
could you maybe put some kind of content warning/viewer discretion on the most brutal execution of a fish i have seen in my life jesus man
Very good Swedish and Norwegian, would easily handle themselves in Scandinavia.
“We survived alright” all I got from my grandparents love em to death so I know what they meant
Yes that is a Scandinavia trait!
I love the Swedish people.
I understand a little bit of their language.

Heja Sverige!!!
Who k new a drunken bi nge would leead me to knoow more abour my country tjan i wass taught in school
2:26, yup, that's how you do it!
Now I got curious if me and Carl Boberg have common ancestors. It is not a common surname here in Sweden.
999+ träffar på Boberg på hitta.se 🤔
Wow
No låt Gordon som en norrlänning va? 💚🇸🇪🤗
Står i kommentarerna att han har rötter runt Ö-vik
I hear alot of swenglish accent in this video
Todays Swedes are loosing that honest fair approach. Maybe we the old school Swedes should move to Minnesota...
Yeah I agree, believe it's because there are so much hustlers in this world now and that some ridicule that way of being because sometimes if you're to honest and to fair you'll loose.
Swedes confuse being naive with being honest and fair. And Swedes are paying for it.
He left because he got tired of living in a fascist monarchy.
@National Pride Rocker Our statesystem sucks here in sweden, he wanted to live in a free people-run republic, we all do.
