62. Complaining and Struggles
Today we’re going to do something very important. Vi ska klaga. We’re going to complain… in Swedish. Not in a dramatic way, but the kind of complaining you hear all the time. Every day. When something is annoying, when you’re tired, when things don’t work the way they should. This is extremely useful, because this is how people actually talk in real life. And honestly, how a lot of people connect and socialize! For better and worse. If you want to start speaking Swedish, join us on Discord by signing up for Speak Swedish with Katrin on Patreon.

61. Swedish Politeness and Soft No's
This week, we’re diving into a cultural phenomenon that confuses and frustrates some people from other parts of the world. At least when it comes time to interact with Swedes and perhaps try to make plans with them. We are talking about Swedish politeness and what we call “soft no’s”. You might have heard people say that Swedes are hard to read, unclear, or even a bit fake. That we don’t say what we mean. I don’t really agree with that, to be honest.

59. How to Keep a Conversation Going in Swedish
Silence is normal when practicing your new language. Because you won't be able to think of all the words you know at lightning speed!

So today we are going to focus on exactly that. How to keep a conversation going in Swedish in a way that feels relaxed and natural.

58. Swedish Sounds and Reactions
This week, I want to share with you some sounds that Swedes make during a conversation. It’s so interesting that different languages have different sounds… I mean, it’s kind of obvious, why would we have the same sounds across languages? But it’s something you don’t really think about until you hear someone use sounds that don’t quite fit the language they’re speaking.
