Pretty good! I can understand you perfectly. However, "mottagningen" sounded like "motgagningen" (or something like that) and "jourläkare" almost sounded like "sju läkare". Other than that, nothing that sounded too foreign.

While the overall prosody sounded foreign/non-native, it's obvious that you've paid a lot of attention to the lesson. You have an idea of where word-boundaries are and the correct words are also stressed.

Thank you again, I really appreciate your help. I have one more question: if the stress was somewhat correct, what would you suggest me to work on? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Another week another step towards achieving my goals.
Swedish: Reached lesson 54. Prepositions seem to be the hardest bit at this point. "Vi dricker nämligen en flaska i månaden och röker tre paket om dagen". Assimil is slowly introducing the "Perkeft" tense. Apart from that, not much else. German: I've stopped putting new words into Anki. I've rescheduled the current words so the programme recognises them as "new" and for each card I've inverted the order so that the front is now back and viceversa. My order should arrive tomorrow morning (I blame the holidays). Edited by Sarnek on 12 January 2014 at 1:30pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If this is what you sound like when speaking Swedish, I doubt that anyone would find it difficult to understand you - and that's not bad at all. However, there's always room for improvement, especially regarding the prosody. Remember that there isn't a general Swedish prosody, so if you want to sound more native (or less foreign - take your pick), choose a couple of people to base your accent on. Neutral or not. They can be newscasters, audiobook narrators, actors. But don't forget to expose yourself to various accents (and that includes skånska, göteborgska, dalmål, gotländska, värmländska, västgötska, östgötska - the list goes on). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Tack, jeff. Jag ska göra som du säger.
Swedish: I morse läste jag Assimils sextionde lektion, och jag översatt elfte lektionen i första vågen. Grammatiken är lätter nu. Det är bra, tror jag, men jag har förmodligen gjort tusentals fel i den här korta texten. Så om du vill hjälpa mig, gör så, tack! Today I studied Assimil's lesson 60, and translated the eleventh lesson in the first wave. Grammar is simpler now. That's good, I believe, but I've probably made thousands of mistakes in this short text. So if you want to help me, please do! German:Am Montag habe ich das Assimil Kurs bekommen. Ich kann jetzt eigentlich die Sprache benutzen (ich weiß, dass ich die Sprache auf viele andere Weise nutzen könnte, aber ich glaube Assimil ist die wirksamste Methode, mit der man eine Sprache lernen kann), und viele lernen . Ich konzentriere besonders über die Aussprache. Meine größte Schwerigkeit mit der Aussprache ist die "r" zu aussprechen (I either trill it too much or don't trill it at all). On Monday I received the Assimil course. I can actually use the language now (I know that I could use the language in a lot of other ways, but I think that Assimil is the most efficient way with which one can learn a language), and learn a lot. I'm focusing in particular on pronunciation. My biggest difficulty with pronunciation is pronouncing the "r". I either trill it too much or don't trill it at all.
