The Swedish Alphabet 🇸🇪 | Learn Swedish in a Fun Way!
Finally! This is our first KZhead video (sorry for the patato quality).
In this video we will do a quick run through the Swedish alphabet, and how every letter is pronounced (in the alphabet). The perfect start for all of you looking to learn Swedish.
Somehow, SFI rarely focusses on pronunciation. Which we think is THE most important thing to be able to communicate in Swedish.
Mostly because Swedes are not very good at understanding "broken" Swedish.

What am I doing here I am swedish and I literally searched "how to learn Swedish" I am going insane
😅
😂😂
Same 😭😭
🤣🤣
XDDD
Swedish is by far the cutest of all the Germanic languages.
Norwegian even more so I'd say. Eastern Norwegian and Central + northern swedish is very melodic and elvish sounding because it has multiple tones. Western norwegian and southern swedish only has 1 tone because of danish influences.
agree;) i like Swedish pronunciation
The Germany language it's very difficult to pronounce and grammar complicate like the greek one
Was thinking the same thing. It can sound pretty cutesy along with the pitch accent.
@@mcgibs The singsong is even.more evident in Norwegian. Have you ever listened to the Scottish accent? Delightful!
This is by far the best alphabet video I have seen. On most I have a hard time hearing the differences but you have made it very clear and given good tips for remembering. Thank you!
I agree she is the best teacher and excellent skills at parting knowledge and keeping the lesson energised. A true professional. Bravo
Look up simple Norwegian the alphabet video is so amazing
I agree!
Yes soon you get to speak the Stockholm dialect. Just remember most swedes dont speak in that dialect :)
Really, you do? Still struggle with the difference between 'i' and 'y' when listening to them talk. The 'y' sound is the most difficult for me.
Hej! The Swedish alphabet isn’t easy to remember, especially vowels, sounds so similar to me! But you made the best Swedish alphabet explanation in KZhead, because it’s really working with associations - easier to remember! Tack så mycket 🙏
Du är Svensk
För du sa TACK SÅ MYCKET

Also, I cannot tell you how much I genuinely appreciate the praise you give in the video. I’m sat here saying it along with you, practising my letters, listening to your advice, and every time you say “Bra!” I feel encouraged. It doesn’t matter that I am a fully grown woman, encouragement goes a long way whatever your age; you have a brilliant teaching style! 😀

3 days ago, I start learning Swedish and I'm struggling with alphabet pronunciation due to the website I'm using contain the sound without the lip and that make me guess how to pronounce it correctly. Thanks to this video, I can see the lip and you explain it very clear. I think I fully understand my very first step in learning Swedish eventually.
I am Swedish and hope you get really good at Swedish!
Me
May i ask you how is it going?
Very nicely explained video. Hats off to the great effort ma'am.

Thank you!!! Great video, love your energy and passion. You also made me laugh several times during the video LOL
So glad you liked the video and that they made you laugh 😍
I hope you keep posting!
To type Swedish letters, hold the Alt key and enter these numbers: Å = 143 å = 134 Ä = 142 ä = 132 Ö = 153 ö = 148
That is very kind of you to share!
Thank you Daniella! You’re making it fun learning Swedish Alphabets ❤
Happy to hear that! ❤
Thank you for this video it is super helpful I want to live in sweden when I'm older and I've been learning the language
You can do it!
This was so helpful thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm so happy to be here and learning the swedish Language. I hope to be in sweden soon.🇸🇪🇸🇪❤❤💯💯
Really agree with SFI failing on individual pronunciations of the letters. Very little focus on it. I would struggle to clearly spell out a word to someone on the phone for example.... so thank you for this!
You are the best, I think you are the most perfect Swedish teacher ever ever ever 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you!!
I Agree Witherspoon others comments, it is truly by far the best video for Swedish alfabet
That is so sweet of you to say. It was our first video ever so it feels extra good to hear you find it useful because we had no experience of doing youtube videos back then.
Tack så mycket! Grazie tante!
Thanks so much for teaching!
I enjoyed watching this video and it was very beneficial for me, thanks thanks thanks
fine lesson. i like to start learning a language by the alphabet.
It's the best place to start!
You are an excellent teacher 😄
Glad you think so! Tack så mycket!
Love the video 💟😍 Tack så mycket för hjälpen. I thought the nasal sound in the letter i was more from Göteborgarna.
I take it you haven’t visited Lidingö in Stockholm. :-)
I am starting my swedish language learning journey today with you... ❤
Wonderful! Best of luck with your Swedish journey!
thank you so much ,this video helps me a lot
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much this the best alphabet video on KZhead you made it very easy to remember
Oh, I am glad you like it
What a pleasure to hear your "R" sound ... it 's the same sound in Italian ( ROSSO - ROSA - ORRORE....) Thank your for your very clear sounds teaching!
Thanks for listening 😊
Thanks for listening 😊
This is helping me alot thank you 😊
Jag lär mig svenska och du hjälper mig så mycket. Tack ! 😊
Vad glad jag blir. Tack så mycket!
Again good explanation.
Fint gjort Daniella! Det hjälper mig lära Swimrun-idrottare att uttala ÖtillÖ. Tack!
😍👏
I am so happy to have found your channel. You are very thorough,easy to follow and so pleasant. I just moved to Malmö from Canada and am struggling to learn Swedish. It's harder than I thought😂
Welcome to Sweden!! *The Malmö accent probably doesn't help either 😅
Ouch, well the Malmö accent is a whole lesson itself haha it is kind of Swedish with influences of danish in it so even hard for Swedes up north to understand what they are saying. If you go to Lund you will notice a big difference in the accent, even though the cities are just like 20 minutes apart (by car)
Your videos are so good 😁👍🏼
Glad you like them! 🇸🇪💛💙
Nice to meet you, Daniela I am from Spain and followed your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
This is genius! I echo others comments below. Such a fantastic way of teaching this! TACK!
😍
Congratulations!!!!
Wonderful explanation....tack sa mycket for making it available for all people...jattesnallt 😊😊
Happy to hear you found it useful 😊
Tack! But I think vowels are very important,hope you could do some separated vowels pronunciations like how to make trilled R or long short version etc. thank you :)
Nice and easy to follow
Best video for the topic, thank you so much really helpful! I'm interested in learning the northern accent, please let me know if there exist any resources online for the same as most of the media I find is in the southern and stockholm accent.
Oh, the northern accent! I dont know of anything specifically about learning northern accent. Not related to teaching the language at least. But we have a video about accents in the works 😁
Very useful to learn Swedish language
Thanks for lesson keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco
you have saved me from my Swedish teacher being mad at me thank you

Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much, I'm speaking English as my second language, but French is my native language, and I can spell my name now in Swedish just from the alphabet... Really appreciate 🙏 ❤

Happy you feel that way :)
I've been able to speak Swedish to a certain level for quite a while, but didn't know the alphabet until just now, very similar to the German alphabet.
The best video I have found on this subject. Thank you!!!
Wow, thank you!
Great I enjoy this 😃 Thanks ☺️☺️☺️
Glad you enjoy it!
Å has an official English dictionary description: Pronounced like the "o" in "more". The Ö sound varies dialectally; she uses is with a more open mouth than I would.
It is very interesting language and in many things i see similarity with german end english. I like swedish the most of all scandinavian languages ❤
Tack för lektionen! :)

Hej Daniella! Alessandro från Italien! 😜😁
will show this to my friends studying Swedish :)
Thanks for sharing 😍
Im watching this even though im from Sweden xD. I also love how you just randomly say swedish things like perfekt/bra. Also im from Skåne so if I was to pronounce the letters it would sound different but i dont think a foreigner could tell the diff.
Glad you enjoy it! Yes, we always have som dialectal differences and all of them are okay :) I wish I knew more skånska.
Tack så mycket!
Varsågod :)

Thank you !
You're welcome!
Wow! this is great! I have a Swedish hymnal (Lilla koralboken) that I am playing music from, and the pieces all have the titles and words in Swedish and it looks hard! but I'm finding in other videos of many of the tunes being sung by a congregation- what I am able to make out seems to be very phoenetic and pronounced pretty much the way the workds look, with the exceptions of the A with the o and the O with the dots and a few other differently pronounced letters. As a native English speaker I can say that the tendency is trying to "see" and pronounce non English words as we would in English, simply because they resemble the familiar English words and the brain is trying to make "sense" of what we are reading. The book title "lilla koralboken" once you know the translated name seems obvious because it's very similar; lilla= little, and koral= choral, boken= book
Another tune in the book has this for the first verse; Och det hände vid den tiden: till kung Davids Betlehem Josef och Maria rider, men där finns ej rum för dem. När Guds moder föda skall blir hon visad till ett stall. And there is a video where it's sung and I can hear the pronunciation fairly well, the word "rider" we would recognise and pronounce in English as "ry-der" like a horseback rider, but the singing in Swedish it's pronounced "ree-der" The google translate often chokes on words it cant translate, I'm not sure how well it translates and a lot of it seems to be a little "off" but here's the above words it translated; "And it happened at that time: to King David's Bethlehem Joseph and Mary ride, but there is no room for them. When the Mother of God will give birth she is shown to a stable." As it can be seen, google translation maybe does about a 75% job, it's readable, and one can get the basic idea of what the sentence, words or paragraph is about, but it leaves a lot to be desired for an actual proper translation.
Nice to hear
Tack för dina videos! Skulle du göra en om ljudet "tj" som i ordet "Tjänstens"?
Hej! Kul att du gillade videon. Jag har gjort en video om tj-ljudet. Här är den kzhead.info/sun/hauYebKtqqOpiJE/bejne.html&ab_channel=FunSwedish
Thanks this is super great
😍
dear Daniella, hi, thanks for sharing these videos with us i really had problem with the pronounciation
Happy to help!
excellent
The only letter that I can’t pronounce is the i 😭 I can’t make it sound nasal 😔 I don’t know how to put my mouth and I think that in Spanish we don’t have any sound that can help me to associate the pronunciation 🥺. However, this video was really helpful! Tack så mycket!
The "i" is super tricky 😅. We will be doing a whole video on that one soon with some tips and tricks. But in the meantime, try to do it as nasal as possible 👃. Think of the posh "fresa" / "pijo" / "cheto" (depende del pais 🤔) accent and you might get closer to it.
Hey I am from Bangladesh. This videos help me lots to learn swedish alphabet letters.
I like the way you pronounce hope it’s will help me for learning Svenska love from Pakistan
Glad to hear!
Tack så mycket c:
Varsågod! :)
So good
Thank you! 😊
Thank you
Welcome!
O.... K..... tack så mycket Danielle!
😍😍
Tack så mycket, Daniella (sp?)! I think you have a real talent for teaching: lots of people know information and share it, but many fewer can understand the learning experience and reverse it into teaching (anyway, that's how it seems to me). I came to this one looking specifically for knowing rules about the different ways to pronounce "ä." I'm using Duolingo, too, and I hear this letter sometimes pronounce as I hear you say it (kind of like 'aah' at the dentist) but I also hear it pronounced more like 'ehh,' I think. (Supposedly the Duolingo TTS lady is from Uppsala, so maybe that has something to do with it?) . Like when I hear 'använder' it sounds a bit like 'ahnvendahr' to me. Are there rules for when it's 'aah' and when it's 'eh?'
Thanks for the comment and great observation! We are doing one video for each vowel. The Ä is coming out soon. But like you said, there is variation in the sound. Every Swedish vowel has a "short" and a "long" sound. Which sometimes differ not only in length. As a general rule, vowels sound "long" when followed by only 1 consonant. Like "päron". Which has the long sound of this video. If followed by 2 vowels, then the sound transforms. Like in "äpple". The double "p" makes it sound short. And in the case of the Ä, the short sound sounds more like an "e" in other languages. :D
@@FunSwedish Thanks! Also, just this week, Duolingo changed the TTS voice (!) and she has a *different* way of pronouncing words, too. Like the original TTS lady said "har" usually as "hoar," with an "oh" sound and the new lady says it with a long "hahr" sound similar to the American pronunciation of "far." Can't wait for the "ä" video!
Very good!
Glad you think so!
My first step towards learning Swedish
Love this! Still can’t get how to pronounce “i” nasally 😂
You are so good 💋🫀 😢 thank you very much
