I have been wondering the same about my relationship with my husband, and I have come to the same conclusion. I think it will never be a 100% Danish relationship. We also have always been talking together in English, so it is hard sometimes to put the effort forth. I am trying not to focus too much in our "scheduled" Danish conversation time, and trying to switch to Danish whenever I feel confident enough to do so along the day. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@jeff_lindqvist Ahh thanks! My first Star Wars quote and I misspell it haha
@Anav I'm getting more and more confident speaking in Swedish at the moment. Mainly because I read alot and I watch alot of series so I'm in the 'Swedish-zone'. I just start talking Swedish to my gf and ask her to reply in Swedish but talk slowly. It helps alot and i'm slowly getting used to talking Swedish with her. 30 DAY CHALLENGE - DAY 7 - Read 16 pages of my book - Watched 1 episode of 'Mysteriet på Grevenholm' and 2 episodes of 'Solsidan' - Spoke Swedish for 45 minutes - Read 12 news articles That brings the total to: - Pages read of book: 134 - New words learned: 95 - Watched series/movies: 13 hours 33 minutes - Swedish spoken: 4 hours 45 minutes - News articles read: 101 I tried to watch Solsidan a few weeks ago (with Swedish subtitles) but it was all going way too fast for me. But yesterday I tried again and I could follow almost everything, which was a good feeling (I heard that it was one of the funniest Swedish series so I can't wait to watch them all). I'm already noticing the improvement in my Swedish, I've been doing this '30 day mini- challenge' for a week now and it's helping alot. I'm feeling way more confident in my use of Swedish. I'm going to finish the 30 days and then i'm going to slowly build up the hours of speaking Swedish. I have also started with the Viking Challenges, I've got 4 of them done now. I'll post them soon.

I don't watch movies through stream on the internet, just series. But i'll try and find
some more series just like Mysteriet på Grevenholm. 1 serie I know of is: Skrotorna. You can also watch in on SVT.se, and it's a kids show with subtitles. I was able to follow it, so i'm sure you can as well. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

30 DAY CHALLENGE - DAY 8
- Read 12 pages of my book - Watched 1 episode of 'Mysteriet på Grevenholm' - Spoke Swedish for 30 minutes - Read 10 news articles That brings the total to: - Pages read of book: 146 - Watched series/movies: 13 hours 48 minutes - Swedish spoken: 5 hours 15 minutes - News articles read: 111 - New words learned: 95 I slacked on watching a serie/movie yesterday because I went out to the pub. So I just didn't have time to do everything. But it's almost weekend, and i'm planning to do alot these days. Hope I have the time to double up everything I normally would on a day (maybe even 3 times as much). Can't wait! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

30 DAY CHALLENGE - DAY 9
- Read 0 pages of my book - Watched nothing - Spoke Swedish for 15 minutes - Read 10 news articles That brings the total to: - Pages read of book: 146 - Watched series/movies: 13 hours 48 minutes - Swedish spoken: 5 hours 30 minutes - News articles read: 121 - New words learned: 95 I had some schoolwork to do yesterday so I barely had any time to do my Swedish things. Which means that everything I couldn't do yesterday, I will do today. So I have lots to do this weekend! One thing I did do yesterday was listen to my GF speak with her dad on Skype (I listen to their conversations almost everyday). It's very useful and I understand a lot. The problem is only that if I lose attention for 1 sec, or I don't understand 1 sentence, I lose the whole conversation.

30 DAY CHALLENGE - DAY 10
- Read 40 pages of my book - Watched 1 episode of 'Mysteriet på Grevenholm' (20 min), the movie 'Kann du vissla, Johanna?' (55 min) and 1 episode of 'Solsidan' (20 min) - Spoke Swedish for 30 minutes - Read 10 news articles That brings the total to: - Pages read of book: 186 - Watched series/movies: 15 hours 23 minutes - Swedish spoken: 6 hours - News articles read: 131 - New words learned: 95 I finally had some hours free to do more Swedish than normally. I got stuck in reading my book and just kept on going, almost half way now! I have also seen the movie 'Kann du vissla, Johanna?', someone here on the forum linked it but I can't remember who at the moment, but thanks for the link, it was a good movie. Not too hard to follow. Hopefully i'll have enough time today to do the same amount! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

30 DAY CHALLENGE - DAY 11
- Read 20 pages of my book - Watched nothing. - Spoke Swedish for 30 minutes - Read 10 news articles That brings the total to: - Pages read of book: 206 - Watched series/movies: 15 hours 23 minutes - Swedish spoken: 6 hours 30 minutes - News articles read: 141 - New words learned: 95 Had to do lots for school yesterday, just 2 more weeks and i'm finally done with my education and I can put all my time in Swedish, hoping on making quick progression. And i'm almost halfway in my challenge, I think I actually might just finish this haha. Still have to watch twice as much minutes of series today though :) I've still got this feeling that I should be focusing on speaking a bit more than I do at the moment. I have a native speaker in my house so it can't be that hard. I was thinking of choosing a topic, then learn some sentences about it etc. and just have a conversation about that with my gf. I was thinking about starting with cooking + supermarket. And just learn everything I would need in those situations (ex: Should I cut this? Do we need ...? Do we have any ... at home? etc.). If I would do 1 topic every 2/3 days, that would mean that I could be having full Swedish days in maybe 3-4 weeks. Would anyone be interested in 'teaming up' and make lists of questions/answers/sentences/words for specific situations and maybe Anki/Memrise lists of it? This doesn't necessarely have to be someone who's learning Swedish, we could create lists in English, and translate it to our TL. 1 person has voted this message useful |
