Once again top notch explanation, plus quite entertaining. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video! I would like to know what happens with the word "Sverige" please. I hear the first "E" almost as an "Ä" sound, even though there is only one consonant following it. And I kind of hope it is not a borrowed word ;) Thanks in advance, I am learning a lot form your videos!
Oh my gosh, THIS IS SO DETAIL ORIENTED! Just what I need!
I am a believer in y'all!

So happy to hear you enjoyed the details! :)
I never knew that e and ä had two different sounds. I asked somebody "Tycker ni om att läsa?", but my accent was so bad they thought I asked "Tycker ni om att resa?" They picked up on the vowel sound, not the initial consonant. I had to go back to my Swedish book and find out what I did wrong.
I lived in Sweden for 2 1/2 years, but that was 50 years ago. I was proud of my Swedish and tried to keep up with it over the years, but I have learned things from you that I never knew before, and I also know now why I had trouble understanding everything people said -- even people from Stockholm. -- and that was because I didn't know how people really spoke.
I like your nice fun approach, and I will continue to learn from you. I want to learn how to pronounce Swedish as well as a non-native can.
Simple and to the point as usual. Day by day it is very interesting so far! Nice series.
Glad you like them! 😍

Your videos are sooooo helpful at a place where swedish learning videos are rare and not good. Please KEEP IT UP !!!!!
Thank you! Will do! 😍
@@FunSwedish WE THANK YOU ! Your happiness is contagious and entertaining. You're awesome, I'm so happy for finding your channel.
I started to learn swedish because my girlfriend is swedish lol, from Malmö but she lives in Stockholm. I've been there for two months and just arrived back to Brazil.
I spoke only English there and I hope to start speaking Swedish when I'm back.
And you ? What's your name and where do you live ?
I’ve noticed that the long E actually has a little “ya” sound at the end. It’s like the vowel has two syllables instead of one. I’m surprised that she doesn’t point this out. But sometimes that’s something that native speakers don’t notice . . . little subtle differences in pronunciation that are terribly important for non-native speakers to notice.
Maybe...concerning CONSONANTS, could you guys do one about the Swedish L-sound?
I would LOVE that. :) :) :) :) :) :)
Kisses from Marjorie!
Great idea!
Tack
Tack
I love the videos, but it would be nice if you slowed down a little. Tack!
Amo tus videos donde explicas las vocales. Tengo un libro que descargué gratis en internet de título "Basic swedish. A grammar and workbook" y me muestra la pronunciación con símbolos y la verdad no le entiendo a los símbolos jajaja. Gracias a tus videos por fin le entiendo a la pronunciación de las vocales.
No desistas en subir tus videos porque de verdad son muy útiles. Muchas gracias como siempre. Saludos desde México :)
Que lindo leer tus palabras. Muchas gracias. Me alegro mucho que te sirvan nuestros videos. Subiremos más :)
Please be more active here ism waiting for more swedish lesson💝💝💝🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your comment!!
We will try to stick to at least a video a week 😅
one thing i’ve been really confused about is é i’ve kind of seen it some words and can’t find an answer for what is is and how to pronounce it and also can’t pay for lessons to learn more😅
I wish i could explain it to you without speaking to you, but i can’t. I can only give an example, the words ”Ide” and ”Idé”. The first one means something like ”a nest for animals who sleep the whole winter”, for example a bear in Sweden. Idé means idea. They are pronounced in two completely different ways, i just wish i could explain it to you!
I think idé is a french loan word.
What language do you speak?
Great video as usual. Btw, what is the difference between 'vi ses' and ' vi syns'. I have seen 'vi syns' a couple of times used by people.
Great question! You can use both :) Maybe "vi ses" is still more used.
@@elanslektioner3109 tack : )
Happy to help!
(Whoops! Answered from the wrong RUclips account before 😅.')
@@FunSwedish Jaha, så det var du :)
Nice vi
Tack!
I would like to ask you about the pronunciation of the long E. Is it like the British English dipthong /ɪə/ as in the word ear, clear etc? Or is it like /e/ in the word get, but longer?
Thank you.
Good question! I would actually say that it is pretty similar to the E in the word ear /clear :)
@@FunSwedish Τack så mycket!
Hej! I’m struggling with the sound “elräkning”.
It’s really hard to say it… the “lr” part is almost impossible for me to pronounce without skipping the “l” sound. Any tips?
So, probably the best tip here is to think about is at two word. (Because they sort of are).
The stress is first on the E in El... so EEEEEl (very short pause) and then rääääkning.
With quite a soft r. The focus here is in the ä 😊.
Hope that helps!
Also as a beginning Swedish learner (native in English speaking) it sounds almost like every “l” has an ahh sound just before it, mainly in tongue shape.
It sounds like you're saying "eeya", am I right? :)
Hej hej du bäst
Tack! 😍

Och hur säger man: to post something? Också som att lika, så att posta ngt?
Why "de" and "det" pronunciation is different from "se", "ge", "le", and "bet", "deg" ?
"De" is a very wierd one. Super exception that sounds more le Dom for some unclear reason.
Det i think it sounds the same. Doesn't it? 🤔
@@FunSwedish yes, but when you paste the "det" word in google translate or duolingo app they pronounce as dett. So I am little confused, can you clarify this ?
@@vakayagnakarthik2824 Sounds strange to me. I’m Swedish and i pronounce ”Det” like ”De” most of the time. For example ”Det är vackert väder idag” is pronounced like ”De e vackert väder idá”.
Learning Swedish because of the show Young Royals and the song Caramelldansen :)
