My journey was not as smooth as I expected it to be, but I learnt a lot of valuable information about languages and how they work and how they are seen from different perspectives. Someone on Twitter recently talked about how your first language is pain, but after that, it's just a "here we go again" I agree-- but I think the first language needs to be changed to "the first language in each major branch" because the Swedish language here surely throw me! I wasn't expecting a lot of what I found here and I'm so glad I took up the challenge.

    Having studied Swedish at Komvux ten years ago and now studying it again at Lund as a distance course, I believe this is the most important tip 10:14 . If you don't begin mastering this skill from early on, you will be very efficient to pass the SAS tests but it will be extremely difficult to follow through a complex discussion or understand fully a casual daily conversations.

    Fabulous video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

    Eftersom jag lärde mig grekiska från franska, med en ASSIMIL metod (endast boken eftersom bokhandeln inte hade CD-skivorna), föredrar jag den här metoden. Men Rivdstarten verkar också utmärkt för mig.

    This is so funny, because I was lazy to use my expensive camera and used my iPhone for this video. I think it's mostly because it smooths things over AND because I decorated the background. I'm so glad you took notice! I'm super excited for your Turkish!!! Tell me more about the course next Wednesday during the live!

I study Swedish an hour (+) every day, and would love to give 30 hours/wk to it, but courses are difficult to find here. Thank you for this video! I just bought Rivstart at your recommendation.

    absolutely, listening and speaking is the best way to learn a new language. I mean, reading and writing is important but not the most important thing. You need to speak a lot, no shame, just speak and you'll improve. I'm learning english by myself, it's a very easy language to learn and we have internet. But perhaps other languages ain't that easy to learn but doesn't matter we can learn it anyway. Sorry for the bible 😂
