Here are three websites intended for Swedes, so they're advanced
resources. Still, I figure someone might
benefit from them, and this sort of thing can be hard to find as a learner.
Tyda.se is another online free dictionary. Actually, this
one's availible in English, so
it's not just for advanced students.
Swedia 2000 is a resource I've wanted for other
languages. It's a list of
100 dialects from different parts of the country. Each has four different sound files:
a young man, a young
woman, an old man and an old woman. For each sound file, there's a transcript in
standard orthography and one
approximating a phonetic transcription. It's all in Swedish, though, so it's probably
for advanced students. Still,
if you want to get some samples of real, unscripted speech, complete with
transcriptions, and/or work on your
comprehension of different dialects, it's probably great. For a real challenge, try the
old man and woman from
Överkalix. That's incomprehensible to an average native.
Sråkrådet is a governmental institution dealing
with language issues.
There's a "månadens nyord" (neologism of the month), "månadens dialektord" (dialectal
word of the month),
there's an advice column and, something I gather could be interesting if you already
know English, a huge list of
words that are often borrowed from English, with Swedish equivalents. |

Great stuff, the dictionary is fantastic as it has a lot of sound files for words and
seems quite comprehensive. Språkrådet sounds cool as well, will check it out, thanks
for the links Ari! Very useful stuff.
