This week’s episode is a masterclass in pronunciation! And it’s one of my favorite topics to teach. We are going to dive into the unique R-combinations in the Swedish language!When the letter R comes before certain consonants, the sound changes completely (in most parts of the country). These are called retroflex sounds.You can download the transcript, vocabulary list, and exercises on Patreon.https://www.patreon.com/slowswedish/membershipBrowse all episodes here: https://slowswedish.com/Happy learning! 💛

35. Swedish Traditions
This week's episode is about Swedish traditions and holidays. And don’t worry… this is NOT going to be a dry lecture where I list dates and food. I can’t imagine anything more boring.Instead, I’ll give you the Swedish words and phrases you need to talk about traditions. You’ll learn how to say if you celebrate them, if you don’t, and how to compare them to traditions in your own country. And of course, I’ll give you some insight into weird things Swedes do while celebrating these holidays.You can download the transcript, vocabulary list, and exercises on Patreon.https://www.patreon.com/slowswedish/membershipBrowse all episodes here: https://slowswedish.com/Happy learning! 💛
