Hej! This week, you will learn how to talk about your family in Swedish. What did your family of origin look like? What does your immediate family look like now? Do you have or want kids? Pets? Or no?

Get ready for a vocabulary packet episode with loads of useful rules to bring along on your Swedish learning journey. And remember, just do your best! If you don't understand everything the first time around, that is not a problem at all.

2. All About Your Family

Most people who learn Swedish are intimidated by En and Ett. En and Ett are the Swedish noun genders that completely lack logic and reason. And sure, you will have to learn them word by word, and yeah they do affect the language a lot...

But! My mission is to dedramatize this part of the Swedish language. And I will be teaching it slightly differently than many other resources. Fingers crossed it helps hehe.

3. En/Ett 101: En-Words

Welcome to part two of the En/Ett 101 series. This week, we will get to know the cooky cousin, the exception, the spiky noun gender: Ett!

Remember, Ett-nouns make up about 20% of the Swedish language... so when in doubt, always go with En hehe.

4. En/Ett 101: Ett-Words

This week, we are going to start speaking Swedish again after two weeks of En and Ett. We are going to talk about daily activities and routines!

You will learn numbers (to tell time), many verbs, and some useful nouns (spoiler alert, only one Ett-word this week!).

7. Weather & Seasons: Swedes' Favorite Topic

Welcome to the first episode of our new series "Swedish in the Wild". In these episodes, I’ll take you out into the real world and teach you useful phrases and information for different situations.

We’ll visit different places and go through all the phrases and expressions you need to navigate them like a true Swede. And today, we’re going out to eat!

8. Swedish in the Wild: Restaurant

This week, we’re going to dive into one of the trickiest parts of Swedish pronunciation: the vowels. They are especially tricky because each vowel has multiple pronunciations depending on the surrounding letters... and they're all split into two categories that interact differently with other letter combinations as well.

Yeah, it sounds like a lot. But we'll take it one step at a time.

9. Swedish Pronunciation: The Vowels

I have been receiving a lot of similar questions on Patreon in the past 1-2 weeks, so that confirms that you guys are ready for today’s lesson!

The topic we are going to discuss today is inverted word order. This is also sometimes called the “V2-rule”. And it’s not at all as complicated or intimidating as it might sound. It’s just a tiny change in word order, activated by a very specific kind of words.

10. The Rule Everyone Ignores

Prepositions can be tricky when learning a new language. Most of them have equivalents, but they aren’t necessarily used in the same way in everyday life.

In this week’s episode we are going to talk about positions. Where something is at in relation to something else!
