Thank you so much for being so nice and friendly that you use your time to help us to get a better understanding of Swedish. Tack🙏🏻

I am a language teacher and you suggest a lot of what I tell my students of all ages (I've taught my own kids German from birth, middle and high school kids, and adults; and I am learning several languages). One tip for people in the US (and possibly elsewhere) - Disney+ has a huge amount of foreign language content, more than any other streaming services we've looked at, especially if you're looking for a language other than Spanish. Also, shows geared for little kids are a great way to boost vocab without getting bogged down by complicated sentences. Funny note: Harry Potter was the book I used to take myself from reading and translating every phrase to just reading and understanding in a second language. I was doing an internship in Germany and literally went from having to have my host family translate movies during commercials and translating stories and conversation phrase by phrase to dreaming in German and just understanding the language in the span of two days (this happened about 6 weeks in to my experience there; one Wednesday I was incredibly frustrated and exhausted with my limited language but Friday we went to the theater and something just clicked). And I definitely support the tip to just try it. I'd love to join the small groups but Patreon isn't in my budget quite yet. But speaking a language helps so much!

Katrin, please keep up your great work! It is so inspirational and incredibly helpful.

Tack så jättemycket ❤😊

Tak sò mycket! So patient!

Tack så jätte mycket för informationen

Tak så mycket Katrin for speaking slowly, I am trying to learn Swedish now and your channel helps me a lot. I am now subscribed. 😊

Hi,pls upload a video everyday.Ur videos are very helpful for me. I am learning swedish only through watching ur videos and I really feel that I have improved so much after watching ur videos.

Du är bästen ! Tack så mycket för alla dina video:ar ! Jag förstår inte alt men ganska för att bli glad att lysnar dig. Tack, tack igen !

It's really explained so nice, i hope soon i can express my self in full Swedish 😀 I like so much the way you're talking and thinking.. you are charismatic (and amazing)! 😊

Omg. I'm sooooo glad that I found you! ❤ tack så mycket ❤

Tack for this video! I appreciate the fact that you say that everyone is here to learn and you should never feel bad for not knowing a word. ❣

Tack så tusen. Du är kul!

Jag älskar dig, tack for allt!

Thank you Katrin!!! Im spanish and I'm learning swedish since 1 year and this channel is just I need to attune the ear to the language😺

Tack så mycket por los consejos! Jag ska prova det . Tu canal es genial para empezar a escuchar sueco. Muchísimas gracias!

Snälla, fortsätt att göra de här videorna :) Eres la mejor!!

Tack för att du skapa olika videor med slowly svenska språket 🌺👍

Tack så mycket! Jag är tysklärare men lär mig nu också svenska. Det var hätte intressant, att lysna på dig. Nästan alla ord förstods av mig🎉

tack så mycket!

Det bästa som man kan göra är att ha vänner som bor i Sverige faktiskt. Jag pratar med mina vänner bara på svenska och det här får mig att lära språket väldigt snabbt, fast jag pratar och skriver med misstag då och då. Det är en jättekul upplevelse och jag hoppas att nån gång kommer jag förstå svenska perfekt när ni pratar för snabbt. Hälsningar från Prag.

Tack Katrin, I'm from Brazil and I'm starting to learn Swedish, a beautiful language, country, culture and people, its definitely a country that I will be travelling to when I have the basics of the language. I will be subscribing and getting more tips to help my journey of learning a new language. If someone is starting to learn Portuguese I will be more happy to help in any way. Tack.

I do the same as you with a book that I have read and enjoyed in English, and I read the same one in Swedish (sort of side by side, but I try to understand the Swedish version first, then when I get stuck I go the English version) and so I save myself the task of looking up individual words and I can have the translation for a phrase or a turn of speech.

Bra tips. Jag hade inte tänkt att skapa min egen flashcards lista.

Fantastic! 😀

Excelente ! Entendí casi todo a la primera escucha ! Learning songs helps a lot in pronunciation and rhythm.

Omg yes I completely forgot to mention listening to music! I do that a lot too. 😄

Thanks for your Slow Swedish channel. I spent a couple years learning Swedish with Rosetta Stone software basically because I loved Swedish movies. I don't know any Swedish people or have any relatives from Sweden. Anyway I found it hard to learn Swedish when there were no classes offered locally. This was 10 or 15 years ago. I have a lot of Swedish shows and movies on DVD. I live in Southern California USA. But I just fell in love with Sweden and all the Scandinavian countries but I picked Sweden to learn the language. I am retired now and it's been over 10 years since I was trying to learn Swedish, but I enjoy your channel very much and you have rekindled my desire to learn Swedish. Thanks again.

I highly recommend learning Swedish 2gether with Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic / Welsh - these languages are real fun to learn and way to pretty not to know, as pretty as English, so I am learning them all and all other Norse / Germanic / Nordic languages and the other five modern Celtic languages, and I always watch every single video with subs in my target languages!

Having fun is key! I had tried learning Spanish for years because it's what I thought I "should" do as an American who grew up in the Southwest, and who is half Mexican. But it didn't interest me personally so I never succeeded. I've been in a relationship with an Icelandic man for 3 years now and that language is so insane and there aren't many resources to learn it, so I picked Swedish to learn as a "bridge" to make Icelandic easier. It's been so fun and I've stuck with it every day for 6 months now! I watch Swedish shows on Netflix (my favorite is Kärlek & Anarki) and I found your KZread! I find Swedish recipes (and branch out to other Scandinavian things like smörrebröd). Makes it easy to want to learn. 😊

(But ‘réłationships aren’t meant for ppl, and there should be a distance between all ppl at all times and no śÿnńing, and words like man etc only reflect the pure protectors, and the word dude / dudes should be used instead!)

I know that Icelandic and Norse may seem very intimidating at first sight, but they are actually two of the top 10 easiest languages to learn, as easy as Norwegian / Dutch etc, with English being the absolute easiest ever in every way, plus most words are cognates in all Nordic languages and more than half of them are also cognates with the English / Dutch / German etc word, and once one knows the base word automatically, the different forms are easy to remember, especially if one also knows the different endings associated with each group of nouns / verbs / adjectives, as they all follow the same patterns and each group of nouns / verbs / adjectives etc have the same exact endings - I am upper intermediate level in Icelandic and Norse after only learning them for a few months more intensively, and I know over 5.000 words in Icelandic, so I am very close to an advanced level in Icelandic, and I have already learnt like eighty or ninety percent of the Icelandic words from the vocab videos with hundreds and thousands of words (Go Learn) that are on yt and all the Skáld lyrics, which was a great start, so now I can follow sentences easily and I can learn new words naturally from subtitles + G translate, as I tend to use G translate a lot as well, especially for Icelandic, as the Icelandic pronunciation is also very accurate on G translate, at least for 99% of the words, and it is way more accurate than the Danish pronunciation which needs major improvement on G translate because it doesn’t sound clear enough, so G translate is really great for learning Icelandic and for Dutch and Norwegian as well as they have very accurate and realistic pronunciations and so many words!

Thanks for translating English

I can understand a lot of these words, like, over 70% or so, even though I don’t know as many words in Swedish as I know in Norwegian and German, but many of the words are similar to the German word or to the Norwegian word, so I can understand a lot in Swedish, in general, especially when I see the sub, plus I am advanced level in Dutch, and some words are similar to the Dutch word - I am like intermediate level in Swedish / Italian / French at the moment, and upper intermediate level in Norwegian / German / Portuguese and native speaker level in Spanish and upper beginner level in Old Norse / Icelandic / Welsh and beginner level in most of the other Germanic / Celtic / Latin languages and in Hungarian / Slovene etc!

Girlllll I know this video is old but I really leveled up my Hindi the EXACT SAME WAY with Harry Potter! I know it by heart in English and the hardest part was reading the English words written out in Devanagari but my vocabulary exploded!!!! I’m going to try to find Harry Potter in Swedish next!

Understood near enough everything as a norwegian learner, amazing how similar the languages are.

Jag använder chatGPT och det är så jättekul! Jag ber chatGPT att skriva en liten text för nybörjare (a1-a2) öm ämnet jag studerar just nu på Duolingo. Sedan ber jag om den lägger till speciella ord och fraser för att utöka den skapade texten och sedan ber jag om att använda några grammatikregler som jag också studerar nu. Sedan arbetar jag med texten. ChatGPT even helped me to proofread the text above: I wrote an English version followed by Swedish version (both of these languages are not my first ones so I also improve my English!) and ask chatGPT to check the translation and suggest improvements. :) Thank you for the video!❤

Hablo español, sé ingles y aprendo sueco🤗 thank you for the tips 😬 tack så mycket 🤭

Tack ❤❤❤

I’m a beginner. I’m trying to read and watch many different things in Swedish, things that make me curious to understand what it’s about. My algorithm on Insta (where I found you!) gives me a lot of Swedish content. I also try to read Swedish newspapers on line. I also found a few Swedish children's shows on KZread though I can't make heads nor tails yet of understanding it without subtitles. Books in Swedish are hard to find here (Netherlands), unless they’re e-books.

Thx … Harry Potter is a really really good tip cause I know the books almost by heart - in English and German… 😂 so it will be a great help in comparing sentences when stuck with Swedish… … also as translator try deepl … much better translation quality than the g… one!!

För mig det fungerar bäst att lära språk om jag kan hitta en intressant videospel som har audio och text på det språk som jag vill studera. Att ha kompisar som kan öva med mig är också jätte fruktbart.

Pretty good.

Herregud, jag kan inte svenska, men jeg lærer meg norsk og forsto nesten alt du sa i videoen! Helt koko :D

Great tipps! But be careful when you pick your poison. For some reason, I got hooked on the show "Leif & Billy" (SVT has a lot of cool stuff to watch, even when you're outside Sweden). After watching every single episode, I can now curse like a pro - but not much else. :D I wish there was more Swedish comedy WITH SUBTITLES on KZread to choose from; I seem to have a hard time finding it.

Tack ska du ha 😊

OMG, that's so weird. I did the same thing when I learned English back then (I'm French Canadian) and it really worked! What also helped is falling asleep to any English channels everyday for over a year and well dating an English native lol. ;)

En annat tips är att titta nyheter på din målspråk, om du redan vet nyheterna för idag på din morspråk. (I hope that is mostly understandable...lol) Otro consejo es ver las noticias del idioma que estudias, especialmente si ya sabes las noticias de hoy.

När jag lärde mig spanska, jag läste också Harry Potter. Om du köper dig en kindle (paperwhite till exempel), du kan bara "touch" varje ord på skärmen och då dycker upp översättning på ditt språk. Det är jättebra och mycket snabbare än att använda google translate. Jag har läst alla Harry Potter böcker på spanska och till den sista kunde jag förstå allt mycket bra utan att slå upp så många ord. Nu gör jag detsamma på svenska och jag hoppas att det fungerar lika bra 😅

V fin tack

More than wonderful performance

Jag köpte också den första, andra och tredje Harry Potter-boken på svenska för att förbättra min svenska 😊

Katrin Berndt is adorable, Queen Katrin Berndt is the best

Amazing video!! I'm very interested in Scandinavian languages and I've been researching about Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish. However, I can not decide between Norwegian and Swedish. Which one would you consider the most influential or practical in terms of having access to the Scandinavian culture in general? Thank you very much!

Swedish. Twice as many speakers, and it’s not hard to understand Norwegian if you learn Swedish. (Danish is bit harder for Swedes, and easier for Norwegians) Plus you’re going to be understood by Danish (at least a good portion), Norwegian, and Finnish speakers. Finnish people learn Swedish in school. And Swedish has a bunch of Finnish loan words. Other than that, i think it doesn’t matter much. Learn one and you get something from the other ones. Pick the one you like.

Thank god you exist

Jag älskar dina tato

You are beautiful

Pro tip. Learn sentences not words. Find / translate a sentence where you do not understand max 2 words and play it with. Like: I am. I am hungry. I am hungry a lot. I am hungry a lot today. I am thirsty a lot today. Are you hungry today? ......

I find chatting with a friend on Whatsapp or similar very helpful. It’s interactive, but if I’m missing a word I have time to look it up

Hello Katrin. You are so pretty girl

What a beautiful girl
