When learning a new language, idiomatic expressions can be equally fun and confusing. What in the world do they mean??

I love idiomatic expressions, but I'm not a huge fan of teaching them just for the shock factor or "lolz". So this week, I will only be teaching you expressions that are commonly used in Sweden in 2025. No old-timey stuff that sounds funny but not a single person every says hehe.

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!

When learning a new language, mastering verbs is one of the most crucial steps. Verbs are the backbone of communication, allowing us to express actions, emotions, and intentions. Without a solid grasp of verbs, constructing sentences becomes difficult, and conversations can feel limiting.

So this week, I want to introduce you to 15 of our most common verbs in Swedish. In future episodes, we'll keep going, but this is a good place to start.

Telling time can be a little tricky in a new language. Especially when it differs from your native language. This week, you will learn how to tell time in Swedish. You'll notice that there are multiple ways of saying what time it is since we both use 12- and 24-hour clocks.

But that just means your chances of getting it right increases, right? ;)

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.
