First of all, I want to thank the author of the channel for making this beautiful and useful video for us! Many people are embarrassed to speak a foreign language if they have no speaking skills. People are afraid to hear criticism from others in their address. It all comes from having a psychological complex - to make a mistake. But, after all, he who does nothing is not wrong! In Yuriy Ivantsiv's workshop "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language" states that we need to talk as much as possible: with yourself, with the mirror, with inanimate objects, with children and with pets. Find an interlocutor in real life or online. Talk without shyness. People won't care how you speak. They understand that you are a foreigner, as long as they understand you. They may even acknowledge your progress in their language and compliment you. However, always be prepared for criticism of your speaking skills. If you have the will to speak, you will gain an interesting interlocutor to consolidate your knowledge. Everyone is strewn with mistakes - don't be afraid to learn from them. As the Latin wisdom says, "walk and thou shalt not go astray". In the book "Polyglot Notes" by Yuriy Ivantsiv an entire chapter is devoted to the development of spoken language. Here you will find many useful tips and each student can choose a technique that suits him or her best! I wish you all the best of luck in your language learning!
That's what I was looking for. Reading a lot and not just random short sentences. Which are also good, but this should be beheld as a great part of learning a language: we learn how to read correctly and we practice our listening skills.
He does, but it's a weak sound. I am an English teacher and my students often make me this same question about many words in English, which they believe "are not pronounced". Knowing this, I listened very carefully to it and he definitely says "jag", but it's normal not to notice
i moved to sweden from the usa The problem is you're trying to learn the language phonetically letter by letter and its not spoken as a strict science people speak much differently than the writing
ok 6 months later from my last comment i know swedish much better now than then there's several words that are pronounce 1 way when written and another way when spoken and there are many dialects Just yesterday I asked a guy how old he was he said .... "shulta" "28" which was apparently is also tjugoåtta as in.... "shoogy ulta" or "shoo-go-ulta"... OR "shoo-ulta but to hear "SHULTA" I had no idea what number he just said and this is
I think it work really good also for beginners because you can improve your reading and listening at the same time. This count like input which is one of the most useful ways to learn a new language.
YOU CAN DO IT, don’t give up :’) If this seems too hard, start with something less and you’ll get where you want to be eventually. I know this was three months ago though, so how’s it going now? Are you still learning swedish? :)
been studying swedish for 1 year in sweden... i can understand a lot of this now if i read the words but I can't understand a lot with audio alone auditory comprehension is my weakpoint I actually appreciate this video much more now than i did 1 year ago
And you are learning how exactly? By reading and listening to something you are not supposed to be able to understand? Because if you could understand it you would not be reading it for learning purposes would you? It always amazes me how these "short stories" books audios have zero translation of what they are supposed to be teaching you. Would you do that in Chinese for example? Do a short story book or audio in Chinese and not have one word of it translated as part of it? (a summary of the story does not count)
I'm a beginner with two months of learning and this was gibberish. I feel much more confident with the Ollie Richards book even though it also lacks full translation. I will likely revisit this in a year's time.
@@bellaluvssouthpark To me it was, and still is, despite daily Duolingo and Coffee Break Swedish. It's good for listening to, but too advanced for basic comprehension. I'm glad you understood it and hope I will one day as well.
I am learning Swedish and this is very helpful. I can understand pretty much the whole story while reading and listening at the same time, but I would not be able to follow it yet if I would only listen. Let alone being able to produce such a story myself. I think the title is misleading: it is not a beginners exercise, but it good for intermediate practitioners.
@@LesHenderson I got the book myself, and its definitely a lot to chew on! But I think it's important for us, as learners, to challenge ourselves and break out of our bubble. We have to expose ourselves to how actual Swedish is written and spoken. If you want my strategy : What you can do is read it slowly. First reading it to read it. Then, reading to comprehend it - where you actively try to translate based off what you know. Then afterwards you look up words (well, sentences. ...okay, paragraphs) that you don't understand, and make notes. Sooo many notes, lol. Then you drill. You know. Reading, re reading. Trying to see how words are actually spoken. (Like this very vid for example) and repeating. Then with the knowledge you obtained, re-read it once more. It's hard, and slow going...aaaand repetitive, lol But doable. And you DO come out knowing more. I believe in you!!!

Bra
I bought the book lol
At 6:00 and also at many other places he doesn't pronounce "jag", why??
He does, but it's a weak sound. I am an English teacher and my students often make me this same question about many words in English, which they believe "are not pronounced". Knowing this, I listened very carefully to it and he definitely says "jag", but it's normal not to notice

The problem is you're trying to learn the language phonetically letter by letter and its not spoken as a strict science
people speak much differently than the writing
The phrase "Det är jag" would most often sound "De e ja". But literal pronounciation is used too, as for emphasis, clarity or formality.
ok 6 months later from my last comment
i know swedish much better now than then
there's several words that are pronounce 1 way when written and another way when spoken
and there are many dialects
Just yesterday I asked a guy how old he was he said
....
"shulta" "28"
which was apparently is also
tjugoåtta as in.... "shoogy ulta" or "shoo-go-ulta"... OR "shoo-ulta
but to hear "SHULTA" I had no idea what number he just said and this is
Should be in an online format like issuu. Let the reader progress and turn the pages at their own pace. Narration seems to be a distraction.
press pause and back arrow then
👍👍👍
This is not for begginers. This is very difficult😤
