It's a lot easier for someone who's never spoken swedish to say "mitt namn är" instead of "jag heter", because the translation is a lot more logical. "Mitt namn är" actually translates to "my name is", while "jag heter" would be translated into "I named" or something similar.
perhaps, but if you're gonna teach someone a language then teach them the correct way of speaking even if it might be a bit harder. Otherwise they will just sound retarded. Personally I also don't like it when people are very formal when teaching languages. It's so much more useful to learn how the language is actually used. By that I mean when talking and not writing.
It depends on why and how you would want to learn to speak swedish. There is no downside to be able to write and speak properly, even if it is a bit "stiff" or formal as you call it. However, the best way to learn a laguage is by exposing yourself to it as much as possible, by talkin to friends or watching tv. I have a friend who actually got an A (MVG) in the first course of senior-high swedish and he's only been here for a little over 2 years.
jag har studerat svenska för liksom tolv år nu... men jag talar jätte långsamt för att jag glömmer alla orden och uttrycken bara några timmar efter jag har lärt dem och det tar alltid tid att komma på en passlig ord... kanske jag skulle öva mera
hälsningar från östern (finland) och heja sverige och så vidare
I have a question... I have heard a lot of Swedish, as I am trying to learn it, but I've never had a formal teacher. So...my question is... I've "JAG" and "ÄR" pronounced two ways; the first way was ... Jag= something similar to ja. Är= something close to eh. I don't know... I was just curious if it mattered o-o;; or what was the right way to say it. Tack så mycket for the lesson.
yep... i'm finnish and there are lots of "finlandssvenskor", swedish-speaking people here (about 5% i think? dunno). they use the "eh"-version constantly... i think the "är" is a bit more formal, and the "eh" is just a form of it that has been used in normal speech for centuries (or decades? i dont know anything about the development of the swedish language).
@ biza0vs0goten: Yeah, but your examples are also the same in German. family (en) - familj (sv) - Familie (Ger), lamp - lampa - Lampe. So, bad examples ;). Same as apple - äpple - Apfel, ...
hejsan, mitt namn är Francisco, jag är tjugotvå år gammal, jag bor i buenos aires, argentina, jag är argentinisiska (??), du är bäst läraren, du måste göra mer videos! jag ska gilla ser det nytt videos (i want to see those new videos) tack! hejdå
It is. or well its just different pronounciation of the word i guess. Normally I dont say it with the G but when im kinda spelling out the word slowly i do.
first time to comment your video, and buddy this one is pretty cool , you should think about being a teacher lol, anyway you should do it more why dont try to make a lesson based on swedish songs? Well congratulations again and thanks pretty cool
Just wanted to say this is a really cool video, I'm trying to study some Swedish by myself (been four days now! :D) and vids like this one are a great help :)
It was recorded almost a year ago I suppose, but since in the end you said you could make some more on that.. :) Had you?
You should make one more video including most important phrases, such as "Vad sägs om en flaska vodka, hemma hos mig?" , "Jag har inte gjort något fel, vart tar du mig?", etc :}~
you ar jatte jatte jatte jatte soooooooooooot!!!seldom i come across dark haired swedish guys lol LMAO.more pls.oh yaarr, theyre helpful, tack sa myckett. hejda
