Thank you for the links. There are always a few that disappear in the first month or so, or who never even get started. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I see no mistakes here, but I'll leave the actual corrections for the Swedish text to Jeff. Thank you for pointing out a point I had not thought to mention though. The thing about films and book titles was not on my radar, but it is the same for Norwegian. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

@Emme
Jag arbetar måndag till fredag men (jag) gillar att läsa romaner på helgerna: just nu läser jag Krig och fred. Depending on the context, "i helgen" means either "last weekend" or "next weekend", much like the English "on the weekend". Or so I think. Expressions of time are tricky. The rest of it looks correct to me. Edited by sans-serif on 13 January 2013 at 11:39am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Just a quick question, we post the Viking Challenges in our own log?

I have another little cultural gem for you today, from the Swedish sphere: Kullamannen. As I have probably
told you, I grew up in the dark ages, where we had one Norwegian TV channel only, and just 30 minutes a day for kids. The authorities figured it was unhealthy for kids to watch more than that. However, we had access to the Swedish channel - and in Sweden at some point during my childhood, they even introduced a second TV channel. This meant that in my generation Swedish comes as natural to us as breathing, and that a lot of Swedish culture feels like our own. Now Kullamannen, who was a mystery intended for youngsters, was the first crime story I ever watched and it prepared me for a life long love for murder mysteries and crimes. One of the scariest characters was a guy who spoke Swedish with a heavy American accent. I still remember my blood almost freezing to ice in some of the scenes. If you find them considerably less scary today, keep in mind that when I saw it I was only 5 years old, and unlike kids today, I had not seen 3000 murders on screen already. I have not dared to see through it, I have just seen the first couple of minutes, because I am afraid it will destroy all the magic, but from a linguistic point of view it should be fairly easy to follow. Have a good time! You"ll find further episodes on YouTube if you are interested. KULLAMANNEN 5 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Thank you so much, I watched the beginning. I think I'll wait a few months and watch everything when my Swedish gets better (or I run out of the subtitled stuff). But I'll definitely watch this one!
I wish I had acquired an extra language (and culture input) this way... I've got a few friends who watched quite a lot of German satellite TV as kids, but I didn't. And I actually miss the times when there weren't any 24/7 cartoon channels and kids had to wait for their time slots (which in my childhood were longer than 30 minuts a day but still not very long, with just a few TV channels available). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Brukar de prata med någon slags 60-talet brytning? Ibland har jag jättesvårt att förstå,
ibland går det alldeles bra. Edited by tarvos on 13 January 2013 at 3:09pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks for the link, Solfrid. I like the oldies vibe the show has, and it's interesting to compare the way they speak to the stockholmska of today. That American guy is pretty creepy, I must admit.
How did you pick up your Swedish, by the way? Passive understanding has clearly never been an issue for you, but what about active skills? Have you ever studied Swedish per se or did you just start speaking it based on all the input you'd had? EDIT @tarvos: The kids, at least, seem to speak an older version of the Stockholm dialect, though the prosody is a bit odd at points. I'm not as sure about the adults. It was surprisingly hard to understand at first. Edited by sans-serif on 13 January 2013 at 3:54pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
