The Swedish Alphabet 🇸🇪 | Learn Swedish in a Fun Way!

Finally! This is our first KZread video (sorry for the patato quality).
In this video we will do a quick run through the Swedish alphabet, and how every letter is pronounced (in the alphabet). The perfect start for all of you looking to learn Swedish.
Somehow, SFI rarely focusses on pronunciation. Which we think is THE most important thing to be able to communicate in Swedish.
Mostly because Swedes are not very good at understanding "broken" Swedish.

    Norwegian even more so I'd say. Eastern Norwegian and Central + northern swedish is very melodic and elvish sounding because it has multiple tones. Western norwegian and southern swedish only has 1 tone because of danish influences.

    Wow! this is great! I have a Swedish hymnal (Lilla koralboken) that I am playing music from, and the pieces all have the titles and words in Swedish and it looks hard! but I'm finding in other videos of many of the tunes being sung by a congregation- what I am able to make out seems to be very phoenetic and pronounced pretty much the way the workds look, with the exceptions of the A with the o and the O with the dots and a few other differently pronounced letters. As a native English speaker I can say that the tendency is trying to "see" and pronounce non English words as we would in English, simply because they resemble the familiar English words and the brain is trying to make "sense" of what we are reading. The book title "lilla koralboken" once you know the translated name seems obvious because it's very similar; lilla= little, and koral= choral, boken= book

    Another tune in the book has this for the first verse; Och det hände vid den tiden: till kung Davids Betlehem Josef och Maria rider, men där finns ej rum för dem. När Guds moder föda skall blir hon visad till ett stall. And there is a video where it's sung and I can hear the pronunciation fairly well, the word "rider" we would recognise and pronounce in English as "ry-der" like a horseback rider, but the singing in Swedish it's pronounced "ree-der" The google translate often chokes on words it cant translate, I'm not sure how well it translates and a lot of it seems to be a little "off" but here's the above words it translated; "And it happened at that time: to King David's Bethlehem Joseph and Mary ride, but there is no room for them. When the Mother of God will give birth she is shown to a stable." As it can be seen, google translation maybe does about a 75% job, it's readable, and one can get the basic idea of what the sentence, words or paragraph is about, but it leaves a lot to be desired for an actual proper translation.

    The only letter that I can’t pronounce is the i 😭 I can’t make it sound nasal 😔 I don’t know how to put my mouth and I think that in Spanish we don’t have any sound that can help me to associate the pronunciation 🥺. However, this video was really helpful! Tack så mycket!

    The "i" is super tricky 😅. We will be doing a whole video on that one soon with some tips and tricks. But in the meantime, try to do it as nasal as possible 👃. Think of the posh "fresa" / "pijo" / "cheto" (depende del pais 🤔) accent and you might get closer to it.

    Tack så mycket, Daniella (sp?)! I think you have a real talent for teaching: lots of people know information and share it, but many fewer can understand the learning experience and reverse it into teaching (anyway, that's how it seems to me). I came to this one looking specifically for knowing rules about the different ways to pronounce "ä." I'm using Duolingo, too, and I hear this letter sometimes pronounce as I hear you say it (kind of like 'aah' at the dentist) but I also hear it pronounced more like 'ehh,' I think. (Supposedly the Duolingo TTS lady is from Uppsala, so maybe that has something to do with it?) . Like when I hear 'använder' it sounds a bit like 'ahnvendahr' to me. Are there rules for when it's 'aah' and when it's 'eh?'

    Thanks for the comment and great observation! We are doing one video for each vowel. The Ä is coming out soon. But like you said, there is variation in the sound. Every Swedish vowel has a "short" and a "long" sound. Which sometimes differ not only in length. As a general rule, vowels sound "long" when followed by only 1 consonant. Like "päron". Which has the long sound of this video. If followed by 2 vowels, then the sound transforms. Like in "äpple". The double "p" makes it sound short. And in the case of the Ä, the short sound sounds more like an "e" in other languages. :D

    @@FunSwedish Thanks! Also, just this week, Duolingo changed the TTS voice (!) and she has a *different* way of pronouncing words, too. Like the original TTS lady said "har" usually as "hoar," with an "oh" sound and the new lady says it with a long "hahr" sound similar to the American pronunciation of "far." Can't wait for the "ä" video!
