What I Learnt from My A1-C1 Journey in Swedish | 1.5 Years of Active Study

What I Learnt from studying Swedish from A1 to C1 level this year!! 💜

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.

Because of this video I started taking time to learn a language slowly and just absorb it for a bit and it’s made all the difference in the world, so thank you 🥰

[jellyrcw]

I've been on and off with Swedish forever. It just take so much mental work and I lose energy and drive for it. Thanks for sharing your tips!

[estherandherlittleworld]

Woww! Congratulations! I'm glad to watch this video and see you talking about the details and very interesting how far you can get in a year with intensive study 😊😊☀️☀️
Please do interview your professor when you can ☀️☀️☀️

[EachDayForever]

Great video!! The interviewing your professor video does sound super cool- you should do it!

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.

[jackluo]

Congratulations! You are always the best!

[ajryangameaudio]

This was awesome Rae, thanks! Your motivation is inspiring. I've been in Sweden 4 months and am learning via several different methods so appreciate the tips!

[marianagil]

Thanks for sharing! I’m currently taking a similar course at Linköping University! Jag kämpar på!😂 I wonder why did you choose Lund’s course because Linköping’s is free😊

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.

Interesting language learning studying process
Very inspiring

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.

[mahoodaloo]

Oh my goodness ...Did you change your camera ? 👌😀😳 to compare with other videos l can say Quality of this video is super good...by the way l am not studying Swedish ..but your video motivated me to start my online Turkish courses after feeling fluent in My Arabic and literally after Graduating from university İnşallah🙏😭😀😢

[violet]

Hi! Thank you for your tips! Can I ask how did you support yourself financially in your time in Sweden? I also want to go to the course you mentioned but I'm concerned about how I can live there for a year, did you work part time?

[kickacewomen]

If I take that course, can I get a student visa for the year I study? I’m desperately trying to find a way to get my 🇺🇸 family to Sweden. 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.

[larsfinlay]

consider form i fokus. form i fokus A and B are really good, haven't gotten to C.

[vladimiradoshev]

very interesting thanks very much. I'm a big fan of Scandinavia and learning Swedish now, A2 course at Folksuniversitetet (unfortunately the teacher is bad)

[ApollonianShy]

great, usually ppl focus on grammar and cs of that get hard w speaking, ofc when its abt an inconsistent language, or how to call, is so important to immerse in listening n speaking 🌞

[AnnaTorresCas]

What English proficiency test did you take in order to fulfill the basic requirements "basic elegibility" from Lund University?

[ailinplotz]

I have the complete swedish book and I love it, I understand way better than rivstart

[Helga]

What’s the name of the Swedish course at Lund University that you’ve attended?
