I just wanted to say Thank God for these videos! I have been using the Duolingo app to learn Swedish but it's only really taught me how to read the language. These videos may be the difference between my learning Swedish words and how to actually use them to talk! These video's have really helped me understand the language more quickly. So to anyone who reads these comments before they watch the video... I recommend Erik Edler's lessons. Tack Erik! Jag pratar lite svenska!

i love the swedish accent tbh and i really like your eyes

I’m really enjoying your videos. My husband speaks Swedish to my kids, so I like to listen to your videos to supplement my learning of Swedish.

Car: Bil? How can I ever remember THAT? I checked the etymology and it says its a "clipping" of automoBIL. Easy! I can remember that! Stol: Chair?? German Stuhl, English Stool. If you can follow the etymology, it becomes a lot easier! Woman: en kvinna. Queen? Girl: flicka??? (wictionary) it stems from Norwegian flikkja, "light-hearted or irresponsible woman", and flikkja, "hussy; tramp; slut". English cognate: "flake"? Even if it isn't right, that does make it more memorable. I love to see the common roots between the languages I know.

I have tried several teachers and I like the way you explain it. I am attempting to learn swedish in attempt to save my memory, stimulate my brains. I find understanding german is a great help and some of our UK words have obviously come from the nordic languages.

what a beautiful language

tack så mycket. Your videos are very helpful. Your English accent is very aristocratic sounding by the way ☺

In spanish there is the *femenino and the *masculino. That is the hardest i guess it's the same thing in svenska

Zacharie Nadeau Actually, Swedish combines the masculine and feminine genders into a single gender known as "common," which takes the article "en" and for which adjectives take no ending in the singular. The other gender in Swedish (which Spanish does NOT have) is neuter, which takes the article "ett" and for which adjectives take a "t" (sometimes a "tt") ending in the singular (by the way, all adjectives take "a" for their ending in the plural regardless of the gender of the nouns they modify).

+Lee Cox I am a native Spanish speaker and I'm having big trouble with Swedish pronunciation haha. Is really people interested in learning Spanish? I've never heard of someone who wants to at least try to learn it :(

Jag älskar dessa filmer. Tack så mycket

thanks dear Erik we are waiting more leasons of you of Course Swedish

I keep coming back to this just to look at his eyes ❤️

Tack så mycket för dina fina videos, Erik!

The cutest teacher ♥♥

Similar to French. We have feminine and masculine words, and there's really no way of knowing until you memorize. There are some tricks, but they're not always accurate. Jag pratar lite Svenska. I would love to visit Sweden one day and be able to communicate fluently.

Very helpful! Thank you for posting!

Excellent. Please carry on

Easy to understand :)

greatest teacher

Wow que buenos tips... tack!

I like this guy! Specially when try to be funny....

Your accent is so nice like a really nice native

tack please more if you can!

Bil(car) is a cool word! Nothing quite sounds like this in English :D

Hello! Have you tried learning German? Because I speak German and I understood ALOT of what you said without having to see the writing.

great job! this helps me so much, jag lärar mig svenska för min flickvän är svensk haha

Ett words do change in plural when the last letter of the noun ends in a vowel. For example, en äpple, flera äpplen.

Jeg snakker norsk og svensk høres ut som man snakker med en stein i munnen :*D Mange takk allikevel!

Thank you !

Tack för tipset!

Tack så mycket 💝

totally different from Chinese…… but I love Swedish anyway.

its so hard ... when it comes in plural and indefinite form !!!!!!!!!

Very likeable teacher! Almost apologetic/guilty when he comes to the tricky aspects of Swedish! Maybe try identifying ‘ett’ and ‘en’ as feminine and masculine nouns. This would help relate them to many other languages, and to distinguish between them.

Very good

What is the use of those two genders? How do they help communication? Similarly, when do you append the gender preposition? When does it make sense to say bilen vs. en bil?

Please make more videos!!

tack så mycket :0

❤️❤️❤️

How can I distinguish between Swedish and international nouns before translating?

Boa noite Amigo! Voçê poderia explicar em espanhol, pois há muitos brasileiros que gostam do seu idioma. Não sei se voçê fala fala português, se voçê não fala português, em espanhol geralmente brasileiros entendem muito. Obrigado

That rule with nouns (ett/en) is kinda easy for me, 'cause in german we have even three types of that... (der/die/das)

I need your help, i pay you for one kurs you are really good teacher !

I like your swedish and English so can you please i want all verb form Swedish language and English.

Man... saying 2 is one of the hardest, also the way I as in ¨I´ (in) and ¨Bil¨ (car) is very different from other languages, if you notice a scratch at 1:32 it´s me from rewinding, Ursäkta!

This may be a silly question, but what is the official language in Switzerland? Is it Swedish or a mixture of that and German?? I am taking a trip there next year. I am from the US.

Hi, In Sweden they speak Swedish and in Switzerland it depends. Switzerland has a few official languages including German, French and Italian. I would be surprised if anyone in Switzerland could speak Swedish!

Why is “en knvinna” become “kvinnan”? Is it just irregular?

thanks

My favorit Word in Swedish is glitter or glänsa

Of course if you say 'två hus' it's obvious that it's plural. But is there a way to make it clear that it's plural in the sentence 'I see houses'?

thankssssssssssssssssssssss

why there is not any specific rolls for how to use en/ett ??
