This week, we're bringing back Swedish in the wild as we visit a Swedish grocery store. I will help you navigate traditional shopping, deli counters, self-scanning, check-outs, and unexpected situations that might pop up.

Have you ever had a tricky situation at a grocery store in Sweden? Share in the comments on Patreon.

I have been receiving a lot of similar questions on Patreon in the past 1-2 weeks, so that confirms that you guys are ready for today’s lesson!

The topic we are going to discuss today is inverted word order. This is also sometimes called the “V2-rule”. And it’s not at all as complicated or intimidating as it might sound. It’s just a tiny change in word order, activated by a very specific kind of words.

This week, we’re going to dive into one of the trickiest parts of Swedish pronunciation: the vowels. They are especially tricky because each vowel has multiple pronunciations depending on the surrounding letters... and they're all split into two categories that interact differently with other letter combinations as well.

Yeah, it sounds like a lot. But we'll take it one step at a time.

Welcome to part two of the En/Ett 101 series. This week, we will get to know the cooky cousin, the exception, the spiky noun gender: Ett!

Remember, Ett-nouns make up about 20% of the Swedish language... so when in doubt, always go with En hehe.

Don't forget to share your Swedish sentences in the comment section this week! I look forward to reading them.

Most people who learn Swedish are intimidated by En and Ett. En and Ett are the Swedish noun genders that completely lack logic and reason. And sure, you will have to learn them word by word, and yeah they do affect the language a lot...

But! My mission is to dedramatize this part of the Swedish language. And I will be teaching it slightly differently than many other resources. Fingers crossed it helps hehe.
