Started picking up Swedish on high priority because I was busy with school, but Swedish really is one of those languages that sound "foreign" if you know what I mean. I love the words. Words, words, words, words, some have consonants bunched up together and makes it so damn cool and then you have the calmer words that have vowels between them.
Love this language, anyone else studying it? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I've been teaching myself Swedish for a couple of months now :o) it's slow going but I'll get there eventually :o) I'm currently reading a Swedish Teenage Novel and although I don't understand all the words, I get the gist of most of it which I'm really pleased about :o) and it's definitely helping me learn :o)
Good luck with your learning x 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I have been learning Swedish for couple of years myself. I really don't know, why I chose it - I just liked it somehow. Maybe because of the Swedish influence of my country - majority of foreign banks and other companies are Scandinavian (that includes Swedish). But I don't really get how is the Swedish language "foreign" to you, since it's a Germanic language, it has tons of words that are the same as in English or similar to them! Anyway, good luck on studying this language. :)

Swedish is a tonal language whereas English is not. Just because two languages stem from the same group - Germanic - doesn't mean you can automatically understand or speak the other languages. It's like saying Italian isn't a foreign language to Spaniards - just crazy! There are many many differences between Swedish and English; the pronounciation, the form, the tone etc. Yes there is an advantage if you know English or German when you learn Swedish, but it is definitely 100% a foreign language. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

As you can see in my previous statement I didn't even mention that it is possible to perfectly understand or speak. Practically the whole idea of what I said previously, is in Your last sentence, that English and German are advantages in learning Swedish. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I studied Swedish for about year and a half and loved every minute of it! I find it to be one of the most beautiful sounding languages in the world. I prefer the sound of Swedish over Italian by a long shot.
