If you’ve ever felt like you almost understand a Swedish word but can’t quite find an English equivalent, this episode is for you.

This week, we’re going to explore some uniquely Swedish words that are difficult to translate directly into English. These words often capture feelings, states of mind, or ways of being that don’t quite exist in the same way in other languages.

Today we’re talking about animals, nature, and pets. And as a little grammar bonus, I’ll introduce you to how we talk about things that happened in the past tense in Swedish.

This is known as imperfekt or preteritum, I went, I ate, we swam, we flew. You know what I’m talking about.

Today’s topic is working out… or sports I guess! You’ll learn useful words and phrases to talk about moving your body (or not), different types of workouts, and how you feel afterwards.

And we’ll also go through an important grammar rule: how to place the word inte in a sentence. That little word is sneaky!

There are many ways of studying Swedish on your own. And studies show that a varied approach is often the best. You want to listen, read, write, speak, study vocabulary, teach others, use multiple senses, and most importantly: use retrieval practice.

Today’s episode is going to focus on creating a journaling practice in Swedish. A way for you to write in Swedish regularly, perhaps daily or a few times per week.
