My Best Language Study Tips · Slow Swedish With Subtitles

[SWE+ENG CC AVAILABLE] I think it's so important to HAVE FUN while studying and learning new things. So my absolute best tip when it comes to learning Swedish is doing things you enjoy. Even if it might not be the "correct" place to start or exactly on "your level." The best studying is the studying that takes place, whether it's ideal or not.

The free version has a word limit, but the pro version is just like $4 ish.

Hi! My name is Katrin. I'm Swedish, but I'm not a Swedish teacher. Here on my YouTube channel, I offer you videos about my everyday life in slow and clear Swedish, with English and Swedish subtitles so that you can practice your understanding. Välkommen!

-------------------------

Thank you for your amazing support!
Without you guys, this wouldn't be as much fun for me.

Lots of hugs!
♥ Katrin

Your idea of just speaking SLOWLY is SO HELPFUL. It really has made a huge difference in learning. I don't know why more language teachers don't do this also.

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🙏🏻

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

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!

I just found your channel, exactly what I am looking for. Marvellous

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.

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.

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 YouTube! I find Swedish recipes (and branch out to other Scandinavian things like smörrebröd). Makes it easy to want to learn. 😊

Hello madam I am from Bangladesh, I am trying to learn swedish by watching your videos regularly, thank you very much. 🇧🇩🇸🇪

[carlosvinaderrequena]

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😺

[vcollapse]

It's great what you're doing with this channel. Listening to you I can understand almost everything, but when watching SVT play for example I understand <50 percent. I hope your videos will help me bridge the listening gap, and eventually I'll get to understand faster spoken Swedish too.

[hallorussland]

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🎉

[andrewtheogre]

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. 😊

[thebestngl]

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. ❣

[Tatiana-ziby]

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

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 😅

[TheUrshula]

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

[nasrinsithik]
