@@naurbrannon I've never heard "å" being used instead of "att". It's common to say "å" instead of "och" and "ja" instead of "jag" and "dej/mej/sej" instead of "dig/mig/sig"." Ja ska gå å bada med dej" is spelled "Jag ska gå och bada med dig"
Learning a language in theory is far different than how you use it in practice! That’s why it’s important to meet native speakers because they’ll help you adopt the everyday or, as you aptly said, “street” version of the language.
When I was in Sweden I couldn't practice my language with locals, as they would hear the accent and immediately switch to english 😅 I couple of times though I replicated the accent so well that they would start responding in swedish, but it was sooo fast that I had to ask them myself to switch to english, cause I couldn't understand them at all
Jag bor i Norge, men jag förstår svenska, svenska är för svårt att uttala för mig, jag råkar säga de flesta orden på norska. Det irriterar mig så mycket, men jag försöker prata bort honom, men det funkar tyvärr inte för mig. Du är en riktigt bra person att lära dig svenska.
To make it more confusing, there are dialectal differences: Written Swedish: Jag är Stockholm dialect: Ja e Some other dialects: Ja ä Written Swedish: Vad är det? Stockholm dialect: Va e de? Some other dialects: Va ä dä? You can say a whole sentence and only using vowels in "spoken Swedish": "I åa ä e ö" - which means something like "In the creek there is an island". If we spell it correctly (but with somewhat flawed grammar) the sentence is: "I ån är en ö".
Written Swedish: Bilder Archaic Swedish: Bilæter Scanian: Bilder Written Swedish: Det är Archaic Swedish: Det væra Scanian: Dä Written Swedish: Min älskling Archaic Swedish: Min unna Scanian: Min kääaste Trust me, I hate that I can give countless examples of this. As a speaker of a Scanian dialect known as Jyŋe, which only have 2 living spoken relatives, Listerländska in Blekinge and Morupekanska in Halland. In Swedish my Dialect is known as Göingska. I use words like yvon(ögon) or ygsa(yxa), haw(Hav), hawe(Hage), hvo/hvim(Vem), gæda(gissa), gida(orka), gyda(gjuta), maðk(mask), etc. It's not weird for me to have to talk Standard Swedish to people who don't speak like me, some Scanian words everyone understands, such as rullebör, but as soon as I say, træa de har rødnad sá mød ad hiwar mann ygsan sá gár den gønom. And voilà I lost everyone. Han ær leðer mod meg og jag ær redigt trætter å ham. I understand why Danish people hate old Scanian. And why Swedes find it impossible to understand. I finge ygsor i huweðana sina(They got axes in their heads).
@@livedandletdie Interesting! I was totally unawere of this. Gida = orka seems to have a cognate in Norwegian. I think a phrase like "Jeg gidder ikke" means "Jag orkar inte" or "Jag ids inte" . In English something like "I don't bother..."
And it can be expanded upon even further, for example. Written Swedish: Vad är det? My dialect, emphasis 1: Va ä de? (Va ä DE?) My dialect, emphasis 2: Va ärä? (Va Ärä?)

What confuses people a lot is when we just kind of suck in some air to say yes 😂 in the north of Sweden we just kind of inhale sharply while mouthing “ja”. Some say it as ja some say it as jå some say it as jo 😂
I've lost my pronunciation skill but when I return to study the swedish language again it'll be a priority. Because the swedish language spoken it's really nice to hear!
@@FunSwedish Also, when I went looking for Swedish songs to exercise my listening skills, I looked for old Swedish military songs, yes it's my unusual musical taste :v, and listened to them, I found them one of the most beautiful to listen to among the military songs of all countries, especially for the voice of the choir and of course how the Swedish language sounds in this musical style. The pitch of the language is formidable and heroic to listen to.
As a French person who has been learning Swedish for about 14 years now, I've actually gotten pretty good at this! In French, we do this a LOT. Lol. Some letters when in certain spots are even meant not to be pronounced, etc.
I watched this because I grew up in Minnesota in United States which was heavily settled by Swedish and Norwegians... so I KNEW I would hear a similarity in how we pronounce vowel sounds, even though I am speaking English!! Making them all so loooonngg haha. Made me smile:) Thanks!
@@FunSwedish What the movie "Fargo". The Swedish actor Peter Stormare is in it. Then you can hear the MinnesOOOtan's dialekt. A lot of "Ya you betcha" and such. Probably getting the "Ya" from Swedish word for "yes" = Ja..
Really good! I'm looking forward to learning more. I'm a Swedish-American who is trying to get back in touch with the language of my recent relatives. 🇺🇲 & 🇸🇪.
In Finland we are taught muminsvenska at school and I didn't want to learn it when I was a teen. I learned to love Swedish when I started to watch svenska movies. The culture as well as the language. 😍 Now I try to learn the language and it's nice that we have everything in our country in both languages. For example all the food packages, signs, literally everything. I've also watched Paradise Hotell Sverige to learn. 😀 So the words I know are those on the series like " Brev!!! " and " Pandora's ask." 🙈 There are like 13 seasons to watch so. 😎😀 In Finnish we have so many Swedish related words for example " ask " is " aski " in Finnish so this should be easy... Right...?
For once in my life I found a list of 10 things I actually knew already. This is up there with getting 100/100 in a maths test when I was 10. I'm going to need 10 different ones when you have time please Fun Swedish. And thank you SO much for the unintended confidence boost; I was just what I needed during a difficult time! Warmest wishes to you!
Legendary Swedish pop band ABBA is the reason that I started taking interest in learning Swedish language. I already speak German and see similarities between the two languages, both belong to Germanic language family. Despite the tricky pronunciation, Swedish is easier and sounds so beautiful.
Grattis (congrats!) for starting your Swedish journey! Yes, exactly. And if you can't say those rolling R's its ok. You just will have a Swedish accent from the South :P If you liked this video and want to learn more Swedish with us. We also have Swedish courses. Here is some info about them: Pre-recorded courses: funswedish.teachable.com/courses/ Live-Zoom courses: elansutbildning.com/ Courses for companies: elansutbildning.com/companies/
A fun shortcut to a sentence that becomes completely understandable in some Swedish regions is "I ån så finns det en ö" ,(In the river there is an island) which can be pronounced as a single word with only vowels "iåaäeö" .. My music teacher taught me that many years ago :)
Essentially what I get from this is to relax your mouth and let the words flow out without too much concern for proper pronunciation. Makes sense.....I don't speak perfect English all day.
Weirdly, I learned the 'och' becoming an 'o' from being at the current Women's Euros football (even more weirdly it's one of the first things I learned in Swedish). Sweden have played 2 games in my city and I have been to both (some of the best experiences of my life and what has made me now want to learn Swedish). Talking to some fans they taught me the "gul och blå" chant as "gul o blå." When I searched yellow and blue it came up as gul och blå and I realised that it gets shortened to o.
Thanks for this! ❤️My cousin is going to be very impress the next time we video chat! I’m a native English speaker trying to learn Swedish to be able to speak to them!
Finally found a channel to help me with Swedish. Just started a few days ago and getting some grammar books soon has right now I am practicing with Duolingo but I want to incorporate other learning techniques for it. jag tycker om detta videon en mycket ( super bad swedish lol ) tack så mycket för videon
And here I am speaking Spanish, a language that does not shorten any word but can always lengthen and lengthen in thousands of sentences something that can be said with 5 words (and in Swedish with 1 letter 🤣🤣)
Arbetar du som lärare? Tycker du gör ett väldigt bra jobb på att lära ut. När man ser andra lära ut saker än de lärare man själv hade under skoltiden förstår man vikten av att ha lite flyt och få en bra engagerad lärare. Kan vara skillnaden på att inte lära sig nått och bli riktigt duktig.

Håller med dig att det kan göra stor skillnad om man har en engagerad lärare eller inte. elansutbildning.com/sprakkurser-for-foretag/
I feel like many of these examples are very "Stockholmska" or from around that region. For example, I would never pronounce "är" like "é" or "det" like "dé". In my part of Sweden I'm pretty sure most people say "ä" and "dä", i.e. we prononuce "de (they)" and "det (it)" differently ("De" and "dä" respectively). Also, the shortened form of "något" is spelled "nåt". "Nått" is the past form of "nå", which means "reach" or "arrive at".
wikipedia has a page on stockholm-e which also mentions stockholmsrim some examples are like 100 years old though. or maybe specific parts of stockholm
Tack så mycket!!! Very useful video! Oh and there are so many dialects in Sweden! Some people speaks so clear and understandable but, for example, some Swedes from the North do it completely opposite 😂
LOL... I am from the north of sweden and for me it is very difficult to understand people in the far south (skåne). I sometimes wish they would speak english so I could understand what they are saying.
Glad it was helpful! There are quite a few dialects in Swedish. We will do a video talking about the differences between them at some point in the future 😁
This channel is great! I’m a native Swede with a Spanish-speaking fiancé, so I tend to check all videos for accuracy before linking them to him. The only thing in this video I feel might be slightly irrelevant to him, is the “är = é”, since I’m from Gothenburg and think that one mostly applies to the Stockholm region. ☺️ Over here on the west coast, we would use more of an open ”ä”. ”Dä-ä bra”. (Probably better to learn your east coast version. 😅) Verkligen en suverän RUclips channel, ser fram emot fler videos! 👌👍
Åh vad fint! Vi känner oss hedrade och blir jätteglada att du godkänner oss och visar för din fiancé (trots stockholmskan). Tusen tack! P.S. Förstår "kritiken". Vi önskar att vi också pratade göteborska! Vi älskar dialekten! Tur att din fiancé har dig i alla fall för att få den dialekten ;)
Wow, that was a really nice compliment because Lucy is awesome (I think I am not as good as her) but very kind of you to say it. Vad kul att du gillade lektionen!
Just started learning Svenska, what an amazing language, there's nothing in Portuguese (My mother language) that helps me in it, but a lot of similarities in English
Exactly! The look a lot alike but we say it differently. It takes extra brain power to say it diferently when it is so similar to a word you already are used to 😅
The RS thing in the video is mostly not applicable for the southern parts of Sweden. In the south we usually pronounce the name Anders with an R and a S. Actually it's pronounced like AndORS where the E has changed into an O. Not Ander-SH or Ande-SH. In some parts in the southern of Sweden there are a mute R and then the name is pronouned like AndeS. Don't worry. There are no spoken standard Swedish. Only written standard Swedish. "Fun Swedish" is good. Don't try to develop your own accent. Just stick to the teacher, she is really good if you want to learn Swedish.
Thank you for your lessons. I thought I should tell you in English the word “letter” doesn’t have a pause between the syllables and has no hard or thick t sound but has a very soft d-ish sound.
You say ”When we speak really, really fast...” I’d say we skip these words and letters almost always. ”Jag är hungrig” becomes ”Ja’e hungri” even when I speak slow or normal.
Also, the word ATT is mostly pronounced as O or actually Å. Jag ska ringa (för) att fråga/Jag ska gå (för) att handla. Many Swedes make this mistake in writing, because they think it is OCH, but in fact it is "för att" = to that is being used in abbreviated form.
It’s a very big difference how people speak in Sweden due to dialect. Northern swedes and southern swedes can have a really hard time to understand each other sometimes.
i never thought about the letters i dropped in swedish so much. i just spoke how it felt naturally but being irish i always dropped so many letters anyways.
Ja is pronounced very different due to the many dialects. Many people in southern Sweden says ja, as in written Swedish, and in northern Sweden it’s more common to hear jo - instead of ja.
I think swedish language is cool and easy to learned by imagination 🤣🤣🤣 but i love the way she explained the english the english words to Swedish language or reverse word from Swedish ro english
I used to practice Norwegian on memrize. They have a section of their lessons called learn with locals. Some of those people who say things talk so fast you have no idea what they're saying. Even though the thing they are saying is supposed to be something you are learning in that very lesson!
The jump to spoken language is always rough 😅 In any language I think. But necessary. Otherwise its hard to communicate in real life. But hopefully this rules make it easier 😁
Which one has confused you the most before?
De!! That drives me nuts! I cannot wrap my head around it being pronounced “dom”.
My friends use "å" instead of "att" while writing, is it also spoken like that in some places?
Någon något is super confusing
@@naurbrannon I've never heard "å" being used instead of "att". It's common to say "å" instead of "och" and "ja" instead of "jag" and "dej/mej/sej" instead of "dig/mig/sig"." Ja ska gå å bada med dej" is spelled "Jag ska gå och bada med dig"

Tjena! Really enjoy your videos! The 'Vad sa du' often sounds like 'Va sa ru' for me :)
Glad you like them! Yes, you are right! It sounds a lot like "va sa ru" as well :)
The way I am Swedish and I’m looking this up
Is there something like RP Swedish? Very proper and pouncing everything?
The RS thing in the video is mostly not applicable for the southern parts of Sweden. In the south we usually pronounce the name Anders with an R and a S. Actually it's pronounced like AndORS where the E has changed into an O. Not Ander-SH or Ande-SH. In some parts in the southern of Sweden there are a mute R and then the name is pronouned like AndeS.
Don't worry. There are no spoken standard Swedish. Only written standard Swedish. "Fun Swedish" is good. Don't try to develop your own accent. Just stick to the teacher, she is really good if you want to learn Swedish.
Thank you for your lessons. I thought I should tell you in English the word “letter” doesn’t have a pause between the syllables and has no hard or thick t sound but has a very soft d-ish sound.
Thanks for the tip!
I tend more towards "hu mååru?" for "hur mår du?" in my accent.
Tak so myket
😍
Nu jag kan skriva tack rätt
You say ”When we speak really, really fast...” I’d say we skip these words and letters almost always. ”Jag är hungrig” becomes ”Ja’e hungri” even when I speak slow or normal.
Vasaru saru?
Also, the word ATT is mostly pronounced as O or actually Å.
Jag ska ringa (för) att fråga/Jag ska gå (för) att handla.
Many Swedes make this mistake in writing, because they think it is OCH, but in fact it is "för att" = to that is being used in abbreviated form.
It's so common in Danish defh sounds
Best Swedish tutorial on youtube!!👏🙏
Glad you think so!🙂
Tack så mycket! I'm absolutely in love for your videos and for you as well. 😍
Glad you like them!

Where *Seth Everman* start with his dom dom dom dom dom dom
haha, so true! Would love to collaborate with Seth Everman!
It’s a very big difference how people speak in Sweden due to dialect. Northern swedes and southern swedes can have a really hard time to understand each other sometimes.
I found the southern Sweden way of speaking toughest
@Ren Rose No one understands "skånska"😆😂
Very useful, thank you very much for making such good videos 👏😊
Glad you like them!
i never thought about the letters i dropped in swedish so much. i just spoke how it felt naturally but being irish i always dropped so many letters anyways.
Thank you 🌺
You’re welcome 😊
you're so great
😍😍
va sa du ?? 😮 easy but hard! Thanks for the videos!
Tack så jättemycket ❤️
Ja is pronounced very different due to the many dialects. Many people in southern Sweden says ja, as in written Swedish, and in northern Sweden it’s more common to hear jo - instead of ja.
youre an amazing teacher!!
Thank you 😍
So Fun and interesting I like ur way to learn 🤩
Glad to hear that 🤩
Thanx! Great advice! 😊❤
I think swedish language is cool and easy to learned by imagination 🤣🤣🤣 but i love the way she explained the english the english words to Swedish language or reverse word from Swedish ro english
Swedish is by far the cutest of the Germanic languages.
IN YOUR FACE DANISH! 😁
Jag ar Svensk och kvart Dansk.
Tried Dutch?
This video is great! I loved Swedish in the beginning but when I talk Swedish nobody understands me. I am not trying to speak Swedish anymore!
Glad it was helpful!
I used to practice Norwegian on memrize. They have a section of their lessons called learn with locals. Some of those people who say things talk so fast you have no idea what they're saying. Even though the thing they are saying is supposed to be something you are learning in that very lesson!
The jump to spoken language is always rough 😅
In any language I think.
But necessary. Otherwise its hard to communicate in real life.
But hopefully this rules make it easier 😁
OK thanks
Any time 😁
After belgiums is swedish the coolest funniest language to hear speak true
😊
