I had to teach a ski lesson to a Swedish child once, and I don't speak Swedish. So I did my best to use Google translate on my phone to find a few phrases that I needed to know. When the parents picked up their child they said he told them I "sound like a deaf person." I'm ok with that.

[@MrZombieanator]

how could you get into a situation where you would have to teach a Swedish child xD sorry for being three years late

[@alterbr33d]

I was in a much stranger situation where they wanted me to teach a Svensk tonåring their French d word (she was byx.. don't worry), but they changed their mind because the US samlag statistics are so bad even though I went through umo and many more and all that. Today I found out my two specific counties I lived in actually beats their statistics, something rare for America. Never mind. Doesn't matter, the vatoriet, all the walks in the skog, the is skating, helping her build her PC, the amazing conversations, etc where great memories now.

[@pepehidrocalido]

Tjena manen!! I am a mexican who lived in Sweden for a while and I still cant get enough fun with swedish language!! Javla bra!!

[@Quinx999]

Why isnt that guy from the first episode here? he is better

[@OldVikingSchool]

He works with Swedish Radio these days humiliating himself.

[@Quinx999]

Really? what does he do?

[@OldVikingSchool]

watch?v=kNeKtBt70zE enjoy :)

[@Quinx999]

Okay i dont really understand a lot :').. but yea he is emberassing himself =/. he seems like a funny guy tho.

[@squigoo]

this guys hotter

[@Kaldor-Draigo-h6q]

Mange, I'm a moron.

[@acidfairyy]

I'm so glad I didn't watch this when I first started to learn Swedish haha!

[@sakarias88]

About the "Blue locker" (blå skåpet). Blue paint was usually a lot more expensive than other colours back in the days which is why you only painted your finest furniture in blue (like your locker). It was a sign of prosperity. Wouldn't it be a shame if someone took a shit in your finest piece of furniture?

[@musubi69]

@LaniRockster They speak Swedish in Finland as far as I know. Danish is spoken in Denmark.

[@lindadumarwah7341]

Can't believe its already 10 years on KZbin. I laughed my ass of 10 years ago,that has not changed 😉. I love swedish,trying to learn it but pronounciation is hard

[@Honken]

@HerrEngelsman Yes. There are slight fluctuations in their exact meaning and they are sometimes used in the same sentence, making everything even more confusing. You can use them however you want, people will understand you even though it might sound funny.

[@Andy6Always]

I like how you explain everything. It is very sweet for people who aren't fluent.

[@Grakkthal]

I love love love these videos. I'm going to be a foreign exchange student to Sweden in the fall so this and Rosetta Stone are what I use to learn Swedish :P Also, where did the first guy go?

[@filomenarocca2794]

All of these people sound like vampires when they speak English.

[@gustavmardby9364]

If you english people are wondering the music in the beginning with the flag is a remix of the swedish national anthem :P

[@sheilasouza7940]

Yeah, no way of learning that language... but this guy's eyes are awesome!

[@zacula]

@crootkit studsiglina sa aldrig att de i norrland var fler utan att större delen av sverige pratar norrländska och ja, norrland är ganska mycket större.. btw, är det inte många som kommit från andra städer och länder som flyttat till stockholm? har du tänkt så långt?

[@wolfwarp]

When you speak Swedish are you talking quickly or is it just a fast language?

[@BlauSzugar]

I laughed so hard when he said "also" :))

[@Jeshikun]

I love how with the grammar parts you can just say "And this similar sounding word is the same as Also." It's so much easier than lots of other languages where you have to learn entirely different grammar structures.

[@BFKAnthony817]

@MikePolOfficial How so? It is a Northern Germanic language as English is, English sprang from Frisians, who came from folks in the Dutch, Danish and German lowlands about 2,000 years ago. English still has words like "Swimmer" which is still a close word to "Schwimmer" in german We all have related words in all Germanic languages, English is just more directly influenced by the Viking raids more, and Latin by French. However we still are closer to Dutch than any other Germanic spoken.

[@Drower]

@howtoteachers The thing is how certain sounds change in speech when you speak fast. It's very common for "du" to sounds like "ru" (though most Swedes won't conciously hear that this is happening). "Har du" will often sound like it should be written "ha'ru". Also common is the disappearance of the ending "t", especially in very common words like "det". So if spoken real fast the sentence can sound like it should be written "Nu ha'ru all skidi i re blå skåpe". (May vary with dialect)

[@Tun360]

Lol ! So funny and makes it easy for me as a beginner . Salutes from Tunisia !

[@OskarWetterbrandt]

As a 21 year old swede I can honestly confirm that everything this guy says is legit, he is not bullcraping you. This IS correct swedish grammar.

[@muhammad19921992]

hay guys.....do u know if i can see the episods with the man from episode 1??? he was perfect but this guy........so so

[@DCPREP08]

This is a really GREAT resource!! I think you guys did an awesome job at making it fun. Maybe a little complicated though. Why not try going through more every day words? and then move onto conjugating verbs?

[@TheViciousZebra]

@wolfwarp I guess that every language that you don't know sounds as if it is spoken very fast. At least that's what i feel with, for example, japanese, chinese, spanish and so on?

[@Mycenaea]

@XxsweboyxX Hur vet du det? :P Och vilka är de två svåraste?

[@R.Bridger]

I'm pretty sure they're actually counted as seperate letters rather than just modified As and Os.

[@h0stI13]

hey i'm actually learning something here! When's the next episode coming out? :)

[@AnetIsOnYoutube]

I cannot even stress enough how awesome this is :D I'm definitely learning Swedish as soon as I master German :)

[@joshuagrisham2655]

You are amazing. You are the Christoper Walken of Sweden!

[@hanssonnr1]

Ha ha ha, well thank you :)

[@svatopia]

excellent. thanks for the latest installment. yay!

[@truefregn]

Here's something for you guys to forget: The two swedish "gift-words" and the english word gift are actuall all the same. Poison is something that, whether the recipient wants it or not, you "give" to a person, and the gift(=married) isn't really about the marriage, but the gift that the bride and groom's families used to give each other to "pay" for the man or woman that was going to be married into their family. Now you know; and knowing is the first part in forgetting! :)

[@gerardohernandez1223]

Definitely!! I love Swedish language!! It has a fascinating pronunciation

[@blusismylife]

i'm from Brazil (speak portuguese) and you two are very funny guys. I have a girl friend in Borlänge, but i can't speak swedish. I'm gonna learn it! Thanks for the videos

[@shakesgirll]

I'm French and trying to learn Swedish, and for the "Nu har du alt ..." sentence, we have something similar in French: "tu as chié dans la colle" meaning "you crapped in glue"... Ok, and I must say that you speak very fast so I have trouble understanding which letter produces which sound, but I'm confident I'll fully master Swedish by the end of the week thanks to your videos :) Tack!

[@91Opheliac]

@Mycenaea Jag kikade igenom fyra av de listor jag hittade på google, ingen nämner svenska, inte ens tio-i-top listorna så det stämmer antagligen inte. Det går säkert inte att bestämma exakt men de flesta listorna nämner samma språk fast inte i samma ordning. Kinesiska och arabiska ligger högt upp liksom även finska på vissa listor. Sök på "list of the hardest languages" så dyker det upp ett helt gäng :)

[@Sokan1993]

@ultimafox9 På vilket sätt har han fel?

[@dropdeadgorgeous85]

@BFKAnthony817 Quite the opposite: Frech came after Latin. The languages that sprang from Latin are: Italian, Spanish, Portugese, French, Rumanian.

[@rydstedt97]

är det tacosmak på glassen ?

[@tobbemeister]

@FierceRaindrop hur vet du det?

[@CrazyTechnoWolf]

okay, i may have 2 watch the vids like 100 times. but i love these vids and how you explain things. please continue making these vids. its cause of basshunter i got interested into swedish and wish 2 learn it. i love how it sounds and love trying 2 speak it (even if i fail alot) lol

[@Holyneos]

@loch70 No, married to is "verheiratet mit". Gift only means poison in german.

[@genchoxhapro]

Är det ´´floden´´ the river?

[@Paddolle]

@howtoteachers actually we sweds are known for "removing" words when we speak.

[@Ogenation]

Är det okej om man blandar e och ä?

[@Vajsenena]

Inte enligt videon i alla fall! Och vad jag märkt så slarvas det otroligt mycket med det i det svenska språket tyvärr..

[@WOOPERKING]

Ven fan ar du?! Wered the guy from the first one

[@Excelsior96]

We in sweden don't really use 3 more letters than americans because we ALMOST NEVER use the letters Q, X and Z. It does exist in our alphabet tho, but it's rare to hear it.

[@jgt88]

do they have a third video? that guy makes swedish easy

[@hypoteserna]

omg.. kan inte sluta skratta åt "ursäkta, jag fick en tupp i halsen"... XD bästa översättningen EVER! DALMÅL!!

[@SycamoreHill14]

The rooster in throat is also used in Spanish. In Mexico, at least.

[@ancientaliensarecoming7201]

1:30 omg this is driving me nuts.. wich dialect its most correct??

[@Mycenaea]

Norrländska!11

[@Helmetmonkey]

Hans blick får mig att titta bakom mig hela tiden :I

[@TheXArkAngel]

Ive lived in sweden for 1 year now and i can talk with all my friends easily it just takes time ^^

[@3salamanders]

I'm always amazed how much languages overlap. Great video.

[@latititan]

@Saerdna79 yea I know but I was just trying to make it easier for her to listen and understand exactly what he is saying. Tack för hjälpen ändå ;)

[@Pinnimini]

Are there only 3 episodes? I want more!!

[@AbyssForgottenSoul]

"gift" means also "poison" : did you mean the verb ,or the noun ?? Can I say "jag är en gift" like "i am a poison" ??? :3

[@svatopia]

vill du vara snäll och explain the blue locker a little more?

[@svatopia]

I love it... "The val lecture". Too funny!

[@realjuvelive]

Are you the same guy from episode 1?

[@pickler_pickler]

i speak slavic languages, and I cannot even beak out the ä or ö very well My native language is serbian, and then english, russian and blugarian. I am currently learning German, but it seems alot different that the Scandinavian Languages. I know a good friend who's Hungarian, and these languages are alot easier for him. How do these languages relate?

[@MishalMooreLover]

När kmr Episode 3? :D

[@hanssonnr1]

@jgt88 No, there is not yet a third video.

[@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858]

"now you have crapped in the blue locker" has to do with the 5th ray, also known as the 5th chakra (the throat). It is in that density that payback occurs. Remember though that in the larger sense, the paying back is of self to self, and is thus, never not loving. The Creator would never intentionally cause harm, likewise at that level, 5th ray (blue locker), the shitting in the locker is actually a form of gift. You can use it to grow flowers, for instance.

[@oljo0527]

Don't forget the space jews.

[@degekkerus]

Mange whree is ep 3??

[@isabellgustafsson3871]

wow... i'm swedish, and i'm starting 2 question my own language, lol. Are we really this difficult??

[@radikborov]

@Cellofanpapper What exactly do you mean?

[@kaeptnkronk]

vad är med modersmål?

[@latititan]

@howtoteachers well I'm quite the beginner with the swedish language and I can hear him say it. " it" ,however, refers to the way "har du allt" is pronounced in spoken swedish (talande svenska). He does not say distinctively " HAR DU ALLT". He rather says "HARU ALLT". HAR + DU = HARU (drop the d in DU) Then, add the "allt" rather quickly as though it was indeed one big word :"HARDUALLT"...hope that helps

[@Zoyt100]

@krutfarfarr är inte dialekt och aksent samma sak?

[@PrinceClaudy]

"Oh John, you're the butt I love." This is so fun :D

[@nordicFries]

@howtoteachers He says it fast and as in all languages the words is contracted, I belive this is called elision in phonetic terms. he says: Nuharuallt skitit..... "Har du" becomes "Haru" and the H sound is almost scilent, which makes is sound like "nuaruallt"

[@ssr0821]

What's the difference between Far and Farsa

[@josef4019]

fasen snackar du om?

[@BaronessAnneMarie]

What does Fackenthal mean?

[@TheMuffinMan325]

I am now fluent in sweedish thanks to this simple video.

[@BFKAnthony817]

@dropdeadgorgeous85 "English is just more directly influenced by the Viking raids more, and Latin by French." Meaning we have Latin words in large part from the French... I said the Latin we do have in the English language is in a large part because of the Norman conquest, they inserted many Latin words into our language, but English is still a Germanic language through and through, but our closest language is Dutch, with German and the Nordic languages next in line.

[@Psychomtlhead]

is there an episode 3?

[@fkfj_]

MORE EPISODES PLEASE! Im learning so much and its so damn interesting!

[@Alvoxmusic]

@howtoteachers Ye he kind of connects the words " nu" "har" and "du" and when he speaks this fast, as most swedish poeple do, it rather goes like: nuaru. And with the emphasis on the letter a. And notice the A should be pronounced with your mouth more like "O" then a wide mouth, like the spanish A

[@camillaeurenius7993]

Yes you will! Don't worrie eventhough it might feel complicated to start with. Good luck to you!

[@ForSensitiveTypes]

I'm born American, but my Great Grandmother was Swedish. I was hoping that learning this would come naturally. In hopes of visiting Sweden, I'll keep practicing.

[@vanitudo8236]

This is AWESOME !

[@SenninDuckbutt]

Tror mer det ska vara istället för att säga ''tror du på han?'' så ska man säga ''tror du på honom?''

[@MetalHeart8787]

@2010PCproductions yeah but its difficult, i guess we / I should study More. although it is becoming more clear its hard to creat sentences, i know keep studying

[@SuperShania81]

Jag skulle älska att besöka Sverige om alla de män var att vackra! One of the best countries in Europe in my opinion!!!

[@schmirrre]

VAFAN VAR DE FÖR BLÅTT ÖGA?

[@erinu94]

@channelswimmer I just saw your Conversation abaout cool in Sweden/ Canadian and I just had to add that in Sweden at winter it becomes -10, and I don't think you would call that hot? I know you didn't say so either. and I'm sure -35 is not very pleasant, but don't expect it to be warm in winter time here :P

[@AverageArtz]

hahaha, snälla gör ett till avsnitt! Fan så bra gjord!

[@MiniSiny]
