[djkissbird]

My dad was born in Sweden and he never taught us....So here I am on you tube trying to learn it before I go over there in a couple months lol

[Exzear]

omg you are really good at pronuncing our words! i mean people that have been living in sweden for like 15years dont pronounce words that good so realy good job!

[Frajdsson]

"How are you?" can also be in Swedish "hur är det?" its like "how are things going?"

Omg, you're better than me to pronounce words. (and im swedish)

[julygurl1]

Bonne språk vi pratar xd

[vitolog12]

thanks! im trying to learn quite a few languages and you helped me!

[666lonny666]

Practice is the corner stone of any nutricious breakfast.... . wait thats wrong ... :3

[bebelito8]

Hey! I was trying to learn swedish time ago, and then I found your videos, I love it! It's a very difficult lenguage, but is beautiful.. I guess, the accent probably change a little bit, cause you're from England and I'm from Argentina, right?

Well.. very cool videos Chris!

and sorry, my english is pretty bad!

[jasminfransson]

im from sweden you really good ;) du är duktig på svenska haha :D

[pandoralachti]

The way you present these words is enticing when combined with your excellent pronunciation skills. It's great. :)

And, along with that, you're not bad on the eyes, either.

[partyfelle1]

Gosh, you are really good!

[jagofar]

[nigahigaroxify1]

really cool i have this guy at my school who speaks fluently swedish so maybe i could talk to him in swedish that would be awsome! Vis Hors!

[lordatrash]

WTF han kan inte svenska sämsta uttal jag ass garvade åt honom

[villesweman]

@lordatrash Och du kan inte stava svenska..

[jasminfransson]

@lordatrash men alla pratar så, det är inte lätt i början! han kommer från usa eller england, det är svårt att uttala svenska..

[TheBaggy1337]

The word och can be pronounced in a few ways, you can say, ååå du? or ock du? just to make it a bit more simple

[8Tails]

This is the first thing I've found online that I feel is REALLY helping me. Thanks! :D

[JHL1994]

Your really good at pronouncing swedish srsly :D

[JHL1994]

Your really good at pronouncing the swedish words and letters srlsy :D

[aurora9702]

Du är jättebra på svenska :D

Fortsätter du fortfarande, chrismada9?

lite nyfiken på vilket språk du tycker är det bästa nu.

Greetings from Sweden! :D

[patriezsc]

Youre really good at Swedish !

Im learning it, but it is hard...

And its by the way fun to watch your videos =]

so yeah..,

Greatz from the Netherlands :D

[crippa1983]

Du är väldigt duktig på att uttala dom svenska orden =) You are very good at pronounce Swedish sentences

[H3XZOc]

@crippa1983 words* nu ska vi inte lura honom haha

[crippa1983]

@H3XZOc haha okej då ;)

[aaaaralle]

Hi, im swedish, and ive never rly noticed that swedish is that hard. but ive seen some swedish lessions on youtube before.. and tbh.. its uberhard if your not swedish. So ide love to say Great work sofar !

[dikitanci]

bra gjort!!! du kan tala svenska så bra :)))

[narutobeast90]

Your pronounciation is really good, really ^^

*Greetings from Sweden*

[Svettjodd]

We don't always use the form "jag heter"; in more formal settings we sometimes use "mitt namn är" (which has exactly the same syntax as "my name is").

[QueerSwede1]

Hej! :)

[DJRangoo]

Its fun watching other people learn swedish. Im teaching some british people i know, and 1 american. So its fun to hear them evolve.

I gotta say: Your swedish .. its like u live in Sweden.. // Swedish DJRangoo :P

[FrippeSwede]

Keep up the good work! =) Just got to prt 2 but would like to post the longest word in swedish i'm aware of. It is....hold on...:

Förstamajdemonstrationstalarst­olsuppsättare. = A person who's got the job to put up the rostrum before the demonstration on first of may.

I have to post the most difficult word to pronounce i know too....and it is.

Västkustskt (No joke) many swedes have huge problems with it. ( It's west coast(ish)) direct translated. =) I hope i hear you say them later on. Hej då

[iangreenwoodISATWAT]

it takes a while to get to the informative part. Could be sped up to get to the main part, minus the babble

[hejsanulf]

ur very good at pronouncing the swedish words! :)

Du är väldigt duktig på att uttala de svenska orden :)

[mrtumgum]

HUR STÅR DET TILL . is more like old swidish

[mrtumgum]

are you from sweden or brittain?

[Ryllelandor]

ur good at swedish chrismada :)

[Ryllelandor]

well, learn swedish is hard, lär dig skånska så fattar inga i stockholm va du säger :)

[floberone]

@Ryllelandor Haha 'ren' skånsk e det bara våra mjölk bönder som snackar för att jävlas med er :D

[slashislashi]

Hur står det till = How do you do. That would be the correct translation.

[Kaaxen]

Actually "hur mår du" is a kinda deep question. If someone you know well is feeling down you might ask them hur mår du. A more relaxed and common phrase is "hur är det?" Like:

Hej! hur är det?

Bara bra, och du?

Instead of

Hur mår du?

My girlfriend just broke up with me and blab lbalbalwhateverbalbla

[vegvisaren]

Great vid. But at 3:55 you don´t pronunce the swedish word "och du ?" in a correct way

You forget to the "K" sound in "och" and also your pronunciaton of "du". I sound like you say "deu". Otherwise your swedish sounds great!

[kitsune2222]

@vegvisaren native swedes don't always pronounce the "k" sound in "och" . Only when they spell out words. Same thing with "det" the T is not always pronounced. So it becomes "de" for example. "Det är bra" becomes

"De är bra"

[Streetrejs]

U are good.

[einzundapp]

u said "och du?" so it sounded as u said "och dö" = and die

[nadineflynn]

you are the worst teacher ever...

[LOLyrMOM]

tackk that really helped. :}

[djwillbee]

är du svensk?

[Streetrejs]

@djwillbee

Han är från england.

[MartaPartaLoL]

Åhh, så jättegullig när du pratar!

[areyoureadysimon]

Haha you're doing great on the pronounciation, I'd just be careful with "och du?" because it pretty much sounds like "och dö", hahaha. - How are you? - Fine thanks! And die!

[supernalle97]

haha du är jätteduktig på svenska, det hörs som du är från Sverige. Det är jättekul att du gillar svenska för det är många som säger att svenska är det fulaste språket.

haha you are really good at Swedish, you hear that you are from Sweden. It's great that you like Swedish for there are many who say that Swedish is the ugliest language.

[Syllenda]

@supernalle97

Jag är fransyska och jag läser svenska ensam hemma. jag tycker att svenska är bäst språket . Det här riktigt bra, jag gilla svenska så mycket !!!

förlåt jag talar dåligt men jag läser svenska sedan två veckor och jag kan bara bilda lite småningar.

[m1chr0ma100]

@Syllenda Du verkar ändå ha lärt dig lite. Jag är svensk och jag tycker att du verkar kunna svenska ganska bra. Grammatiken är ganska lätt. Uttalet är lite svårare. Det svåraste grammatiskt är artikeln.

You seem to have learned some. I am swedish and I think you seem to be able to speak swedish pretty good. The grammar is pretty easy. The Pronunciation is a bit harder. The grammatically hardest is the article.

[Syllenda]

@m1chr0ma100 tack så mycket ! Jag håller med dig uttalet är svårt... jag förstås när någon skriver svenska men filmer är ganska svårt för mig. jag försöker men tycker jag att de är mycket olicka (i think that writing and speaking are very different, that's sounds not the same). men det spelar ingen roll jag är så nyfiken på det här språket då jag ska tala bättre snart hoppas jag !

[AliceLarsson1997]

I'm from Sweden so i speak Swedish and ur good at it

[TheBlowJobTeam]

a real challange for you is to say, sju sjösjuka sjömän sjönk på ett skäp i shanghai. PLEASE SAY IT AND UPLOAD :D:D::D

[Isakceim]

@TheBlowJobTeam skepp*

[nadijjja]

åh vad duktig du är ! =) really good =)

[Liquadia]

question i have is where do u live and who do u know that speaks swedish!

[Linnaaa1]

I learned so much just because of you !!!! thanx !

hej da!

[gggabriella2]

yeah the younger people always say = Läget? (what's up?) .. the older uses: hur står det till?

then you answer: Bra, själv?(Fine, you?) or Jo tack det är bra, själv? = Im fine thanks, and you?..

something like that.. btw you pronounce good :D

[boomchikatchi]

no one ever says "Hur står det till?",,, use "Läget?" = "What's up?"

[jagjagjag009]

@boomchikatchi jo man kan använda "hur står det till". Även om "läget" kanske används oftare. Jag skulle inte bli förvånad om någon sa -hur står det till?.....skulle du?

[Enzo9996]

are you swedish?? (jag e från sverige :P)

[chrismada9]

it is hard to learn lol :)

[Varghjarta]

@chrismada9 You are really good mate (if you are still going at it you must be awesome by now), if only I became as fluent in my own linguistic strives I would be a happy man xD

[despair2ko]

@chrismada9 It is hard to learn, i wish my school offered Swedish lessons.

Wonder if I can find classes elsewhere.

[EdisonWum]

bror typ på vart man är ifrån, vissa har det lätt men typ britter å amerikaner etc har de svårt

[Xatalion]

Haha bra uttal.

[Zulf9]

Cool man! Really good pronunciation of the vowels, which usually is the most difficult thing for non-swedes!

[heylookimswedish]

You are really good at Swedish! Thumbs up!

[chrismada9]

thankyou! :)

[HeeyMomma]

Yea people dont say ''Hur står det till?'' any more, we say somthing like ''Hur är läget?'' And awnser with ''Jo tack det är bra, Själv då?''

[ssssssssssssssssss82]

hey thanks im going to watch all your lesson hej da!

[zlatantillifk]

@chrismada9 Bra jobbat! Good pronounciation with your swedish, Sir.

Mårten in Sweden

[9adde5]

"hur står det till?" a little old, no one says that anymore in sweden so...

[racebag]

dougiewhite778 maby i didnt explain what i ment exactly but i was just asking why he wanted to live in sweden because theres a lot of countries in the world, and i just wanted to know, why sweden? And by the way, i never asked you or even wanted youre opinion.

[caminanteplanetario]

@racebag i don't know why he wants to live in sweden, but i want to cuz i love swedish woman :)

[dougiewhite778]

Also to say yes in swedish you can just open your mouth a breath in air fast

[dougiewhite778]

Bra video du skulle bli bra att jobber som vårdbiträde med gammlingar med dålig hörsel

[racebag]

im just asking, but i read the comments from before and you said that u wanted to live in sweden... and im just asking, why?

im swedish so...

[dougiewhite778]

@racebag what a boring question maybe he just wants to see what its like. The same reason alot of young swedes like to live in London for abit to experience something diffrent or impove their language. I never ask forigners in England why did they come here , it just shows small mindedness

[Kudiz]

outstanding nature, pwnz0r ppls (besides the faggots) and awesome government (aslong as the fucking moderats aint ruling)

[PRYDEBERG]

you really good at swedish =)

you talk with a stockholm accent.

Du är riktigt bra på svenska.

Du pratar stockholmska.

i am from sweden.. so.

[matineesuxxx]

schwedisch ist wirklich nett. ich mag es viel!

[skitungarna1]

haha very funny , not. asso de e coolt att andra vill lära sig svenska men lixom de låter så kul när dom ska lära sig haha ':P

[grafplaten]

du måste öva ditt uttal lite mer...

[gonaditron]

ha det bra!

[raggmunken]

rätt roligt att  andra folk i från andra länder vill lära sig svenska faktisk ^^

[ActThenThink]

no one says "hur står det till?" very often in sweden anyway.

its more common to say "hur mår du?"

[zapodbeblebrox1929]

man our language sounds stupid when you hear it like this.

[guyonfire87]

hehe you shuld realy open a school for kids to learn swedish

[CallumEMac]

in this you said you only have 3 subscrbiers, it might not mean much, but i just subscribed and i have been having a little conversation with my swedish friend and he said i picked it up well, so you are awesome man! tack!

[cd55896]

Hejdå is one word I think....

[IllegalPride]

No, it's two words. Hej då:)

[feromathar]

jätte bra de är lätt begripligt men som sagt svenska är svårt att lära sej de bara är så men riktigt bra uttal försätt så=

very good it's easy to understand but as mentioned before swedish is hard to learn that's just the way it is but awsome pronounciation keep it up

[mtillberg]

Vadå uttal?

Menade du inte ut tal?

[feromathar]

jo men jag är bara riktigt dålig på att stava bara

[Anarchos]

Herregud...säg att du var oseriös

[mtillberg]

Tror du förstår om jag frågar detsamma ;)

[MoaEllieTicci]

I think it sounds great! (I'm Swedish too) And, yes, swedish is extremely hard. I mean, I have heard other who speaks english, but have lived in Sweden for many years. And you speak even better. Good luck with further swedish-learning! ;)

[sapirgerafi]

youre rly good! so nice of you to give those lessons... i was in swe last summer and tried to learn a bit how to speak swe.. wanna come back there next summer so i wanna learn a bit more... pretty helpfull.. keep teaching! :D BIG TNX!

[Jeppz85]

you´re really good at this. I´m from sweden so

[jso0125]

wtf är det för dialekt??

[thetrales]

jag bor i sverige och pratar svenska i skolan och allt men hemma pratar jag armeniska

[LittleCyberCat]

Haha men asså jag tycker ju det, jag är ju svensk? xD

[LittleCyberCat]

Du är rätt rolig du, snubben!

Ganska underhållande att höra andra försöka prata svenska, när det faktiskt är det lättaste språket i hela världen haha ;D

Oh well, If you don't understand this, ask!

And yes, I live in Sweden, stockholm :)

[xXFinitosXx]

lol Cybercat, svenska är fan inte enkelt, svenska är ett av de svåraste språken man kan lära sig just för att vi har brist på stavningsregler och extremt mycket slang i vårt språk.

[Kkardemumma]

@xXFinitosXx "...brist på stavningsregler..."? Dessutom skulle jag inte säga att det finns mer slang i svenskan än i andra språk.

[Vanster2010]

who the fuck cares?

[Nowl8]

i dont think a native speaker can tell if his language is hard to learn or not cause he never had to do it

[m8a4b]

the swedish r:s is hard for non swedes but he,s doing ok

[kavalicious1999]

Dressing up as the Swedish Chef from the Muppets for Halloween and wanted to throw in some authentic Swedish. Tack!

[ArnoldVeeman]

Thank you for putting this up. My children life in Sweden so I decided to give it a good try, and learn it too.

Great starting point!

[Bretout]

[7pristine7]

[hanniiihp]

[7pristine7]

The other 7 days we would like to tour around and see a bit of everything in the area of your capital( up to 300 km from Stockholm because we're still stuck with our flight).

Where do you live?

[gosk8day95]

[leondiazconty]

they're being pretty useful

now i'm starting to understand a little soem lyrics of a swedish band called Dungen...

Vi hors!

[hanniiihp]

do you think swedish is hard? just curous because I am from Sweden

[storkjacob]

but everything else was good :)

[storkjacob]

when he said ''och du'' it sounded like he said ''ö dö'' which means ''island die'' hahaha

[princessannikki]

lol thats what i thought! "du" really ought to be pronounced "doo" not "duh"

[roffinwaffle]

great thanks man, im learinging this and italian getting to know my blood

[mommyboy777]

lesson one had nuttin to do with the alphabet

[unkingGG]

sen ska det vara "vi hörs" inte "vi hors"

[unkingGG]

du är otroligt bra på svenska för att inte vara svensk!

u are realy good at swedish even that u arent a sweed!

[junestig]

det är coolt att du kan svenska! ^^

men det heter "vart kommer du ifrån", inte "var kommer du ifrån". men annars är du duktig! :D

[DontSigh]

Nej det heter var kommer du ifrån. Det handlar om dialekt!

[chainsaw745]

[sk8r4ter]

wat tht mean?

[QenZi]

Hi im swedish

Me to:)

[sk8r4ter]

:O hehe

[rockguitargeorge]

thanks this is great, but I do think that in future videos you should just put the clip in movie maker first and cut out any bits where you say err or um! I know everyone hesitates when they are filming but if you just edit it a bit it will make the whole video a bit more fast-moving. good luck

[woltersworld]

cool to teach it! good job, but don't waste so much time to get started. people jump out before you get to your part! but keep it up!

[NickLinacre]

Hej, hur ar det? Jag ar engelsk ocksa men jag forstar svenska for jag alska Sverige.

My Swedish isn't great but I am learning! =D

[hibachi42]

Tack! This has been very helpful, and i will continue to watch the lessons.

[th3dis7urbed1]

has been very helpful. Tack

[Prinsesstartan]

you're a good teacher, but the swedish is a bit shaky?? xD

[utomjowding]

we say "vi hörs" but "vi hors" sounds nice to xD

[madichelp0]

a problem with that is that one might mistake "vi hors" for "hora", as in english is "whore" xD but most peaople would understand!! :O

[Bliudas]

Nice and useful videos :) good job, this summer am going to Sweden so this will help me a lot :)

[Quiroox]
