Duolingo Swedish Speedrun Any% in

- A speedrun by me of the Duolingo Swedish course. The speedrun begins the moment I click "Swedish" and ends the moment I hit the trophy at the end of the Swedish course. This is a bad run: I just thought it was a fun video idea and I haven't seen many of them before. Please go ahead and beat this very mediocre record.
I will be uploading a normal video soon, I promise.

Duolingo is a wonderful thing but as a professional Swedish teacher I feel compelled to point out that their pronunciation is not always accurate. As in this video: there is a difference between “komma på” with the stress on ”på” meaning “come up with” or “realise”, and ”komma på” with the stress on “KOMma” which means… let’s just say there is an English equivalent.
dialect? or…
@@yoursleepparalysisdemon1828 ”Komma PÅ” means to realize or think of something, but “KOMma på” means to ejaculate on something. 😂
@@xydez
which dialect is it damn you
It’s not a dialect issue.The robotic sounding female voice is meant to represent standard Swedish but does not always reproduce stress accurately.
@@mariaafsandeberg6269
so both dialest dont use it that way
I did a speedrun in Dutch and I failed the final checkpoint. My native language is Dutch...
Lmao
The same thing but with Spanish happened to me lol
I passed at Dutch and my native language is Afrikaans
I failed in german too
Condolences
If Duolingo does Icelandic, I will definitely do a speedrun.
Also, "breadth" is a word and it basically means the same as "width". Don't know if DL would've accepted it, but still.
ahaha thank you for that, wasn't sure
I know! Icelandic is an amazing language and it would be fun to do a speedrun on.
@@polska-ukrayina Hvað undursamlegt nafn þú heitir!
yeah breadth isnt a word i would consider too obscure either so i think duolingo would accept it
Well, it is a word in almost every other germanic, so it must be, right?
Yeah I'm surprised there aren't more Duolingo speedruns. Like people have gotten really into GeoGuessr speedruns so its possible
and Seterra
Duoling speedruns are boring af imo. And the app is mediocre at best.
i tried to do this with french, but unfortunately the french duolingo is only in france french and not in quebecois which fouled me up immensely. you wouldn't think so, but at least the mobile version is verrrrry choosy with the inputs it'll accept-- and often it'll provide you with france-french specific options. once they release a quebecois version though (if ever) i'll add my time to the leaderboard.
It also gets WAY choosier the later you get in the courses, both as a result of fewer people getting to those later bits to provide feedback and them being written way later.
In the French course in particular I ended up quitting because it was getting very particular about the ENGLISH phraseology of equivalent translations.
Where is the leaderboard for this?
I'd doubt they'd release a Québécois French course for the same reason they wouldn't make a British English or Portugal Portuguese course. French from France has more speakers than Québécois French, and it's the variety most people are interested in learning
@@slyar you may be right but i'm still gonna be pissed about it. cauuuuulisse
'any%' means as long as you win, it counts. In the process completing any percentage of the game.
For example '100%' would mean you have to complete everything, not just the last checkpoint.
For 100 just do a really short course, ez pz.
Eg Navajo
Question for you! Okay so I did a Duolingo speed run where I did every lesson to progress to the next lesson. It was tedious, it took like 12+ hours, but I finished! Well, in Duolingo, there is a feature where you can, for a lack of a better term, “solidify” your knowledge by repeating the course you just did in order to get what Duolingo calls “crowns” and by solidifying your knowledge you can rank a said lesson up to legendary status.
When I did the run, I didn’t do any of the solidifying stuff, though I did complete every lesson. Would you call that any% or would it be something else since technically I didn’t finish everything seeing as I didn’t get the skills to legendary status?
Sorry if this was a lot! I’ve just always been curious as to what to call it
@@Paihuaite From that description, you got everything to gold right? In that case I'd call it an "all gold" run, though not 100%, and not a particularly fast any% either. I feel like a proper 100% would also have to include things like all stories for the languages that have them or all the podcast things in the Spanish course
@@carolinfardal Yeah I guess that checks out! I did every lesson to completion without skipping anything- so certainly not fast for an any% haha!
Love Duolingo speed runs! A few years ago I did the entire mandarin course in one sitting- it took something like 12 hours! Good fun though, if not a bit exhausting haha :)
EDIT: I did the speedrun for Mandarin. Got 2:45!
th-cam.com/video/qBoPxpFb1HU/w-d-xo.html
How much Mandarin do you know now?
I get that speedrunning isn't good for actually learning, but you must have learned something.
@@Liggliluff at that time, I had taken mandarin for around 9-10 years! My goal was to finish every single Duolingo lesson that it gave me, so that’s why it took so long! I learned a bit, but not much in the grand scheme of things
笑）所以你现在看得懂普通话吗
@@Lavi-Aemilia-Astori 看得懂啊！我也可能说普通话 :)
Breadth is in-fact a word in English.
this is about as much time as duolingo deserves
You could "type" much faster by learning stenography in the given language as well! (completely ignoring the sheer amount of effort it is to learn a given steno theory & get fast at it)
Also not to mention the cost of getting a keyboard that lets you do like 10 keypresses at a time or an actual steno keyboard that is needlessly expensive for how simple it is.
@@williamhrivnak7345 I mean, hobbyist steno keyboards aren't *that* expensive considering that most of the cost is actually just straight going towards switches with very light springs...
Lever machines however really are overpriced as it stands. I still want one though LMAO
I think it might be a problem that most steno is partially phonetic as far as I know, and I am not sure if it is one to one transferable to normal orthography by a machine.
@@timseguine2 It is *usually* (mostly) phonetic, yes - that's why you most steno systems need a big dictionary [the default one in Plover (a phonetic system with orthographic disambiguation for vowels mostly) has ~147k entries - that's not 147k words though; it's just 147k mappings from inputs to outputs], and that usually is more than enough - or should be more than enough for duolingo type stuff anyway. Plus it's rather easy to add your own entries quickly as well.
@@codenamelambda Okay, well I see you obviously already know much more about it than I do.
I’m currently half way through the Swedish branch of Duolingo and some of these sentences are very familiar. Nice speedrun 👍
I still learning Swedish in Duolingo and I'm still in checkpoint 1 to complete all levels and Norwegian too. Swedish is my favorite language and your speedrun is interesting, god jabbt 👍
Kul! Brukar inte vara många som har svenska som favoritspråk
håller med karin inte alls många som gör det
Sounds like a cool concept, but even as a fluent [American] English and [Latino] Spanish speaker, I still screw up on the English-Spanish and Spanish-English courses when I just want XP for no reason
amazing, the π speedrun
The only people I've ever heard who I assumed were English because of their English fluency and British English accents were either Swedish or Dutch (and judging by the comments, I'm not the only one to assume you were English).
Obviously familiarity plays a big role, if you're speaking English every day with English people then you'll pick up the accent. But is there also an linguistic element of similar vowel sounds and prosody?
My dad was Italian, a very good friend is Italian, and I know other Italians, French, and Spanish, and even Germans, who have retained strong accents to the extent that at times it's difficult to understand them.
Nice run! You could answer anything to skip the long sentences, since you have three chances ✌
this video made my day thank you
Bra jobbat!
I tried Finnish Duolingo out of curiosity after watching this video and it was relatively easy, although I was marked wrong on something I am 100% sure I was correct on (I'm a native speaker) and the pronunciation of the lines is kinda unnatural. Maybe I should check what time I can get
Bra jobbet. Hvor stor tror du forskjellen ville vært hvis du prøvde noe tilsvarende på norsk?
Bra jobbat grabben
snyggt jobbat haha
this seems fun, i've thought about this before but i didn't know a good way to reset (turns out just don't make an account, thanks!).
i think it'd be faster to fail some of the longer questions on purpose, since you don't need to re-answer failed ones, apparently.
i'll see what i can get in danish later
I love all your videos.
Yeah...
This makes me wanna try speedrunning my native language lol
i was learning japanese and swedish but now i mainly do swedish, so i can keep up my streak..recently has been way too busy to concentrate on japanese and i hope when i get back into it i will remember a lot more.
i don't think japanese duolingo is good
@@paper2222 Porque? I been learning Japanese on duolingo is there anyting wrong?
@@OguzhanCirit_ most people online have been saying that japanese on duolingo is sometimes inaccurate, and only teaches you formal japanese
Amazing, you gotta get this submitted to Games Done Quick! Can do any% Swedish or work it out with your friends to figure out which language is the fastest! Haha
ah, so THIS is how they should've done it on that episode of taskmaster.
Hey there, did you study linguistics and if so would you recommend it?
Is copy pasting words allowed? For example if I know the word "investissement" will come often, first time it appears in the run, I copy it and paste it later on. Is this allowed for this run?
as long as you don't have anything copied from BEFORE the run, then yes. so you can copy a word in the middle of the run and use it later
Breadth is a word.
It is a word and it does pretty much does mean the same thing as width, though I feel it is much less common than width.
@@kevinb2469 glad we’re in agreement.
Funny I've been doing Duolingo and had thought of the idea of Speedrunning.
breadth is a word
AAAH SO BRIGHT
oops sorry forgot to put on the dark mode :((
I swear that voice doing the spoken Swedish sounds like Frida from ABBA.
When they release Croatian if ever I’ll speed run it because I can’t read Cyrillic fast enough to do Serbian
I tried to speedrun russian once but I failed since russian doesn't have articles and it's kinda hard to predict when DL wants you to write 'the' and when 'a(n)', meeh
Any% is cool and all, but 100% would be a way more interesting category.. (Taylor Walton did a Finnish 100% and it came out around 47hr, however a sub 40 by skip reading some of grammar materials is probably doable)
I thought it was a joke like "haha duolingo sucks" kinda thing but you know what, I'll bite. I could use a number 1 position in something this year
Just realized that their last name is the same as Kalvin Klein brand
And they’re double k initial
Enter gibberish for long typing exercises. The progress bar still fills up even if you get it wrong, so this allows you to skip 3 entire questions.
XD
It's a fun idea
I'm going to speedrun spanish
"mormor berättade för (or ' sa till') mig att häxor kan flyga" would be more correct. Your translation is "grandmother said witches can fly".
Also, mormor could just as well be a farmor :)
that's the one aha, that is the answer I was looking for :) but as I said in the video, "mormor berättade att..." was accepted for some reason and they don't call it a speedrun for nothing
K Klein har svenska som modersmål.
1:19 I think it is
hey i have had this idea too, but with german. my german is not good enough to do that yet, but it is coming
Are you fluent in Swedish, or have you studied it?
I believe they’re a native speaker
He is a native speaker.
Starting to learn Svenska any tips 🤔
Get yourself a good online Swedish teacher.
Rivstart
I rage quit doing duolingo swedish because i disagreed with their choice of grammar.
0:50 wait wait wait hold the phone how do you say would in swedish again????
I did the speedrun with Russian, but it's not comparable to your speedrun with Swedish since Russian is much more similar to my native language then English is to Swedish. And also there was no writing requirements you just need to put words in right order and you passed.
i wanted to make a channel where i just did this
Don't worry, 3:14 is special!
0:50 Hol' up...
yeah I don't know why duolingo translates it like that, if that's what you're asking about
@@kklein hey, I ain't gonna kink shame ;P
But there is so much more to explore. Each subject has 5 levels to it. Shouldn't they be included in a duolingo speedrun?
this is any% (just reach the trophy as quickly as possible), so I guess you could do a different category for that
@@kklein oooooh i get it. I did 100% making each subject gold in Swedish duolingo once. It took me over two years 😁 Not a speedrun, still quite an achievement I think
Speedrun both English and German below 2min40s - and it's easier to get a lower time in a cellphone (sorta.)
2:32 I deadass heard “vi kommer att förtrycka freden” 💀
Same and I don’t even speak Swedish
Why do you write Å and say O, in the past it was clearlly and A, but now you say O so why not just write that?
Am I alowed to compete if im swedish ?
jag är också svensk men gjorde ändå den här videon såååå
pie
Pov: you're an immigrant in sweden
Could you talk about japanese language reforms. Please
no lol
漢字はとっても大切で必要なんですよ‼︎!捨てちゃ、「家事」と「火事」のような言葉の違いが消えちゃうんですよ‼︎!
You're a native English speaker, right? And you don't know the word "breadth"?
To be fair, it's nowhere near as common as "width".
English is my second language aha, native Swedish speaker
@@kklein I'm a native English speaker and even I didn't know the word breadth
Not sure I’m the first comment to say it, but breadth definitely is an English word!
Yeah you're definitely not the first
Very different from your other videos..
I was inspired to speed run my mother tongue, Hebrew, and.......
fuck man I failed the thing 3 times. the stupid site doesn't allow for natural speech.
sure, if I tried to get a job on the local radio in the 80's, maybe these 'mistakes' were justified, but... I don't? ya know?
for example, hebrew has a native word for planet. the thing is, I never ever use it. my dad sometimes does, but not always.
pretty pissed I couldn't beat duolingo on my first language
duolingo more like cringelingo
