Learn Swedish with Katrin

It’s time for Quiz Week 4! This week, there are no explanations... just Swedish!
Listen to the story about Sara helping her friend Emma move to a new apartment and see how much you can understand. Can you follow what’s happening? And how many of the little details can you catch?
Don’t worry if you don’t understand every single word, these quiz episodes are meant to be a little challenging!

Reflexive verbs are everywhere in Swedish. Att känna sig, att skynda sig, att bestämma sig, att lära sig… But when should you use mig, dig, sig, oss or er?
In this episode, we’ll go through how Swedish reflexive verbs work, some of the most common verbs you need to learn, and mistakes to avoid... like ska ni gifta sig?
You’ll also learn how a reflexive pronoun can completely change the meaning of a sentence, as in hon lär henne svenska vs. hon lär sig svenska.

Idag ska vi prata om artighet. Today, we are going to talk about politeness! How do you ask for something politely? How do you say please? What is the difference between ursäkta and förlåt? And how polite do you actually need to be?
‘Cause I have noticed something among people who learn Swedish: you are often way too polite. Or… perhaps polite is the wrong word to use. You’re just very very formal. And I think that’s SFI’s and DuoLingo’s fault. I think they teach very formal language, which makes you sound kinda weird in everyday life here in Sweden.

Den här veckan ska vi prata om verb + att + verb. This week, we are going to talk about verb + att + verb. We use this structure in sentences like Jag gillar att läsa, I like to read, and Jag glömde att köpa mjölk, I forgot to buy milk.

Today's topic is one that we all hope we'll never have to use. But if the situation ever does happen, knowing just a few key phrases can make a huge difference. We're talking about emergencies and calling 112, Sweden's emergency number.
Of course, emergency operators in Sweden speak English as well. But for the sake of the episode, let's assume you need to speak Swedish.
