Hi vlad

Välkommen till Sverige😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪👍👍

I resisted when the Netflix algorithm recommended Sherlock for 3 months. Caved, watched it and loved it. Watch The Crown!

Neet idea; paying for an Anki deck is kinda crazy do.

Duo even has a channel, and it's brainsh*t.

Bra jobbat ❤!! Min bror har en kanadensisk flickvän och hon har bott här i över 10 år. Hon har kämpat med allt som du känner just nu. Men många här kan både engelska och franska så det har gått bra ändå. När man immigrerat hit så går man SFI (Swedish for Immigrants) för varje klarad tenta får man studiebidrag, så det ökar motivationen och framstegen man gör, plus att ekonomin i hushållet gynnas samtidigt. Det jag försöker säga är att du har kämpat mycket 👍🏻 och för de som immigrerar har de denna extra möjlighet.

Hello! Idk if you had ever made a video about this, but could you make a video about how you could use your languages to make money? I've been a follower of your account since 2017 and had been learning my languages respectively. I honestly had lost hope of even continuing this journey at this point because I feel incompetent against like job requirements. C1 etc, certificates to get into entry level jobs. I was hoping if you could share your experience about this, and how you could get a job. with my languages i'm at best in the lower intermediate, and upper intermediate level but I honestly can't find a job despite learning languages for these long.

Unfortunately, I could not use this method to learn Russian. Slavic countries don't dub foreign movies into their languages. They do "voice over" where you can hear the Slavic langauge spoken in monotone and the original language simultaneously, and most Slavic people think that somehow sounds better. It's one of the most irritating things I can do. I'd never watch a film in "voice over".

Swedes love travel. I use my Swedish virtually everywhere I go. Obscure town in Hawaii? Check. A day into a long hike in Tasmania? Check. Tiny roadside cafe in NZ? Check. Dozens of restaurants and coffee shops all over the USA. Alltid nån att öva språket med.

Going to Kumla is like, Going to Folsom prison XD

Hell no. Duolingo is a scam, not a language app. Students are harassed into paid versions. The language error rate is high across all languages. There is no respect for common language authorities like The Royal Academy in Spanish. It's just awful.

No. Duolingo does not work and never has. It's an advertising platform, not an educational tool. It's like some crappy translation textbook from 1950s America.

Hello 👋 guys, my wife is a Filipina so I hear Tagalog for 30 years but I can't learn this language properly 😅

No video from sweden?😂

Still waiting for it 😁

Very informative video. Thanks. P.S.-That's not real football Bro.

Finns en skillnad mellan att veta att något är rätt och att känna att något är rätt :)

Hilarious, the next video that came up recommended is from Days and Words “Duolingo is (almost) good now”

14:33 I'm a native swede and I didn't even get half of what was said

I agree with the majority of your points, BUT… now I see Duolingo VERY differently. It is a GAME, not a learning tool. I am approaching 1,000 days. Initially I took it way more seriously and thought I was actually making progress. After 3-6 months I realized, there are other apps! There are better tools! So I started using those better tools and resources, but kept Duolingo as a fun game I do daily, because that streak is oddly addictive. I do NOT see it as my primary or even a secondary learning resource. It is a GAME, but a game that is more educational than most mindless video games people play. It also helps me stay focused on language learning. It is also part of my identity now… I’m a language guy. I know talk about it on social media, everyone who knows me knows this is my hobby, and to be fair, Duolingo was a HUGE part of that equation and I am grateful that very inefficient but fun app helped with. In school I took 4 years of French, 3 years of Spanish, and 1 year of German. I LOVED studying languages, but I finished school 20+ years ago and did not formerly study any language material since. Duolingo was my gateway drug back in. Now, for 2 years I have been studying Spanish and Persian. For Spanish I use: Rocket Languages Busuu Tandem Language Transfer and other content I find on KZbin and podcasts. For Persian/Farsi I use: Pimsleur Mondly and KZbin/Podcasts. All are WAY better than Duolingo, but I am grateful Duolingo got me started. 🙏 Once I hit 1,000 days, I may stop. We’ll see.

I think the wrap up at the end is all good, but for #3 I still think grammar and verb conjugation is important as adult learners, but I agree you shouldn't focus exclusively on that, which I think is the point you are making.

Going to have to say the ad was brilliant 😂

I like to be able to say/speak something, my name, where I live, from the beginning. That motivates me. And there’s no pressure. I hear people say to think in the language and this is crazy.

Casual learners should be happy enough already if they manage to keep going, learning continously and not lose interest (except for some little breaks here and there ofc). 3 months of full immersion and intensive studying won't help you if you lose all motivation and stop for months or years to come.

Just throwing this out there - almost every (religious) non-Israeli jew speaks Hebrew as a 2nd language. We learn the alef-bet, and then read the same book and listen to it read, over and over and over and poof, at some point we speak Hebrew. There are plenty of jews who are not as religious (like myself) who go to Hebrew school, and generally, we don't have nearly the fluency of the more religious folks. Kinda lines up to the method you're talking about.

haha you got the real swedish experience, threatened by an unreasonable and violent foreign man

Hi mate, It was one of the best videos regarding reading topic which had ever published on KZbin. Please, continue recording videos about reading, especially about fiction genre. Tbh, I‘m not a big fan of reading in my native language (barely read 4 book), however everything has changed when I tried to read adaptive books and then the books for native speakers in a foreign one. This feeling that you are able to read the books which were written for native speakers even with 80% of comprehension is amazing! I’ve been learning German, my 3rd one, for 18 months and almost finished rereading “Short Stories in German B1/B2” for the second time. I’ve gifted myself a Trilogy of Warcraft “War of the Ancients” in German for Christmas 🎄 and very excited. Considering AnkiApp - I find it’s really useful. I created about 2.200 sentences and recently have found out that books can provide more interesting content and the most important thing that I can read it. Btw, my mother tongue is Russian.

4:49 We also travel a lot (sort of part of our culture). We talk a lot about traveling in school and we are very aware that you should broaden your perspectives by visiting other places! ❤❤❤🇸🇪

I was ready to comment your good pronounsing, than you start to talk about a difference between male and female Swedish speakers. So intressting, I've never thought about it. Maybe it was why I liked your pronounsing (the pitch) as I'm a Swedish women 😂. Och jag vet inte varför jag skriver på engelska när du kan svenska 😮.

Speaking of watching movies again, one of the BEST things you can do is watch your target language's version of a movie you've ALREADY seen in English. You will already know the plot, meaning your brain will be much more geared to absorb and reinforce what you've already learned

What are the best resources for me to learn Swedish and an English speaker, any recommended books, work sheets, websites?

I am wanting to start learning Swedish (native English speaker), but really confused where to start, some suggest don’t use Duolingo while others do, and it’s hard to find good recourses on how to learn Swedish and pronounce it. There are also no in person classes near where I live. Any help would be appreciated.

No way this is where I first saw Andrea la Mexicana from Dreaming Spanish. When I first watched the video, I knew like 5 spanish words and now I can understand Andrea's intermediate/advanced videos!

💯 🎯

Christian is totally wrong because I practically never spoke English much but I was always listening to only English and when I done my first English IELTS I got clb 8 and when I spoke English way better than my roommates who lived in Canada for 4 years what does that say???

Fakk me did, Mait, thet was bladdy güd! Spishly laikt the why you hindled Shaak VP INN (you nivvah sid a wihrd; yo mckinnick did, instidd!). Lav yo chinnoh, Lamont!

Yep, good good tips, I went to UK also started talking English, well they don't know any other language, when I went to France, I started speaking French when I landed, same there they don't know any other language. Me I did not know French either. But it was fun after five months I could communicate quite well learning up to 40 words a day. Now learning Chinese, learning 1-3 words a day. Lol its hard, I am not in China, that is the reason, otherwise it would have been easy, hahaha.

Härligt vad jättekul. Jag tycker om det att du förklarar varför du lärde dig svenska, eller fortfarande lär dig. Jag är från Tyskland och hur du sa, man behöver egentligen bara engelska i Sverige. Men du vet aldrig var en nytt språk ska tar dig:) Tack för din motivation :)

Jag lär mig serr så mycket om mitt modersmål från den här kanalen… saker jag aldrig tänkt på

Her ways are quite similar to mine. I was on the fenced if I wanted to stay in Norway but in the end I decided to stay but I needed B1 level or B2 level in norwegian for me to study in the university and I only had 5 weeks left to take the language exam, i think my level that time was A1 to A2 which I barely can talk norwegian. For 5 weeks, i decided to just spend some days building my vocabulary while reading different articles and news and take the words and phrases that were commonly used. When I was cleaning, working out, and on the bus I listened to norwegian podcast as well as before sleeping. I take down most of the common phrases and when I am reading i am examining how the sentences are formed and I marked where are the subjects, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in a sentence when reading the news. After 5 weeks of intense studying, i took the exam and i got B1 level in norwegian. When learning a language, we can try to learn like a child by absorbing everything we hear, and learn by phrases.

Riktigt imponerande! Så fint uttal hos någon som lärt sig svenska i vuxen ålder och aldrig bott i Sverige!

Oj, jag skulle inte tipsa dig om att tränga in dig där…. Like most of your sentences it’s not wrong per se, but it’s a really non native sentence. You speak English with Swedish words instead of creating sentences in the Swedish language. “Tips” is not commonly used in Swedish. When I try to think of sentences with it I only come up with irony. And the way the word is used is by taking about “ett tips”. The verb form you are using feels very foreign. In all of its meanings. When would I ever use the verb? Probably when talking about what someone else did. ”Han tipsade mig om den här boken”. But you’re not doing this here. You want to hand out advice to a stranger not asking for advice. That situation itself is not very Swedish. Remember that “tips” in Swedish has its emphasis on it being smart and simple. In the situation you explained it seemed weird to bring a flower. So your emphasis with that sentence would also be that you are smart and she is stupid. She didn’t even ask for your advice. Oj, det är nog ingen bra idé att ta dig in där med blomman. Den kanske går sönder. Maybe you’re worried people would be dirty or something. But you won’t say this. You’re Swedish and you don’t want conflict. Instead you express your concern for the flower. ”Reseorsak”. This is a compound word I guess you created yourself. You kind of use it like “orsaken till resan” or rather “syftet med resan”. I guess a main component you’re missing is context. The word A is translated to B, but possibly that only applies to the certain context you’re in. When you learn a language you try things you’ve learned and you start using them in new contexts. But the Swedish word or phrase cannot always be used interchangeably with an English equivalent. What phrase would a Swedish person use in different contexts? Well, your whole approach skipped this crucial info. You simply don’t know. This is something you could have learned with Swedish people. There are two ingredients you’ll need to focus on: 1. How would a Swedish person have said in this situation 2. If you get a perfect translation of something you wish to say you also need to consider our culture: is it a culturally appropriate thing to say? Other people have commented on your way of speaking. You put emphasis on the wrong word or the wrong part of the word. You’ve understood there should be a melody in speech, but you just mimic how we speak. What word you emphasise in a sentence I think is what gives it away you’re not native Swedish (and also your English language created sentences).

Lamont is the the most suave goated language learner of all time bussin skibidi

This guy changes his mind like a girl changes clothes

0:50 - I’m conflicted. I like the channel as it was, but I like the new direction too. 🤔🤔🤔

damn you’re actually one of the best non native swedish speakers I know. But im curious why did you choose to learn swedish, even as a Swede it feels like the most useless language there is.

For me the new features in Duolingo this year have been incredible. I'm learning more and it's just more fun. Still a lot of work to do but they are going in the right direction

Can anyone tell me what the website shown at the very beginning of the video is? I'm currently learning French, and it'd be really helpful. Ty!
