Jag vet inte. <---- written! o.o

[vene] <---- spoken! O.O All-in-one. >.<

As you can see, there is a difference between the spoken and the written language.

The pronounciation may be different in other parts of Sweden and Finland. This is spoken with my dialect, also known as "the best of them all". ^^v

Wow eek that really is a huge difference sweatdrop

Is the spoken language a more slangier variation of the written language? And also, how big a deal is it if I speak the same way as I write in Swedish? Would I just sound formal, or would I actually sound stupid/crazy? ninja

Not formal, you would sound... odd, yes. >.< There's nothing wrong with speaking as it's written, but you wouldn't sound like a Swedish person. razz

anyone else here interested in learning Swedish one day? ninja

4laugh Me!

For a few reasons really:

1) I want a government job, so it's best to be at least bilingual
2) I plan to visit my many relatives in Sweden soon, and I KNOW some of them can't speak English (one of them was here this summer ^^)
3) I plan to learn every language that is part of my heritage. Swedish is the strongest, so it is the first.

I actually can't speak Swedish very well, but I can read it somewhat. And when someone speaks to me in Swedish, I can get the jist of what they're saying.

Pretty good for self taught crash course of... three weeks in the summer. XP

I'm trying to get back into it, but it's a little more difficult when I have university and work.

One thing I noticed right away about the Swedish language: There's no way I'd be able to speak it like a native.

Coming from Manitoba, I have a boring accent. It's a lot more monotonous than Swedish. I also can't roll an 'r' very well, and some of the other pronounciations are.. well.. scary to me, as well as the different spellings for the same sound. o.O

It's correct.

Except I think it's more common (not more correct) to use prata instead of tala.

My hunt for Swedish books isn't going so good. sweatdrop My university only has German and Icelandic - and Swedish-English Dictionaries. The city libraries only contain books in English and French.

So it's on my christmas list. XD

Yes, I am. But my parents and all relatives are finnish, so I'm finnish too. : whee : domokun

Why are there so many people that are Finnish-Swedish? Do Finland and Sweden have some kind of relationship or something? ^^

When there was a war in Finland, about 70 years ago I think, many finnish people came to Sweden. Many stayed and started to work here too.

yup im a 1/4 finnish wink
