Learn Swedish with Katrin

Idag ska vi prata om tid. Today, we are going to talk about time. And not time in a deep, philosophical way. And not what time it is. More like… very practical, everyday time perspectives that still manage to confuse almost everyone.
If you do something for five minutes, that’s similar to för in Swedish. If you are doing something in 3 weeks, that’s similar to i tre veckor in Swedish. But the correlations are completely wrong!
Today, you'll learn my little hacks for telling them apart.

Idag ska vi prata om tre små ord som skapar mycket förvirring. Three tiny words. Huge confusion.
We are talking about tror, tycker and tänker.
So, the annoying thing is this: None of these words are difficult on their own. But when it is time to choose one yourself, your brain freezes.
Let's fix that today!

As you guys know, I think it’s equally important to learn formal language and casual slang language. Because if you only learn the formal stuff, social media and interacting with real human beings is going to be so challenging.
In this week's episode, I’ve picked a few completely random posts from Facebook and Instagram. We’ll take them one by one, talk about what they mean, go through key words and phrases used, and how you can use them in your everyday life!

Today we’re going to work on something that feels almost mythical for many learners of Swedish. The rolling R.
For some people, this sound just happens. You might even have rolling R’s in your native language. For others, it feels completely impossible. Regardless, this episode is an introduction!
