Den Svensk Tråd

Swedish and Danish are pretty close...so I guess I'm learning some danish on the way...but there are some wierd letters in Danish like ae and o with a line over it.
It's like I speak Russian but because I do I also understand Ukrainian and Bulgarian a little.

Swedish is awesome...

The Ø is basically the same as the swedish Ö, and the Æ is basically the same as the swedish Ä. In writing, the danish and swedish is fairly close, but in speaking danish sounds much more dialectal so to speak.
 
I'm still working on understanding swedish from listening so I guess I wouldn't tell apart swedish and danish if I hear them...I downloaded a few swedish learning programs in russian and english...

God Dag

Danish sounds like someone trying to talk swedish while having a hot potatoe in his mouth. ;)


:ill: Then Swedish sounds like someone who is trying to speak Danish without a hot potato in his mouth!!!!


:heh:
 
Svenska lär ju vara ett av de svåraste språken i världen att lära sig pga alla undantagsregler.

Swedish could very well be one the most difficult languages to learn because of all exceptions in the word rules. (or what ever it's called in English ;))
 
New question... a little bit rude
"skit" is shit in swedish but I don't know how to pronounce it
does it pronounce ragular "sk" like in sky in english or "sh" like in "skön"
 
Swedish is not THAT hard to learn actually... There are no rules, only exceptions but it's easier than Spanish to me, which has steady rules and yet make you learn all the forms for any verb at any tense...

No language is really that hard to learn when you are surrounded with an environment that speaks the language
 
This is true, but there are still some which are easier than others. Russian and Asiatic languages have a different alphabet, no common or ressembling words whatsoever and totally different functionment logics.

Languages are so interesting and the ways of learning them are too... Damn, i should have studied linguistics :D
