What in the world do they mean??I love idiomatic expressions, but I'm not a huge fan of teaching them just for the shock factor or "lolz".

When learning a new language, mastering verbs is one of the most crucial steps. Verbs are the backbone of communication, allowing us to express actions, emotions, and intentions. Without a solid grasp of verbs, constructing sentences becomes difficult, and conversations can feel limiting.So this week, I want to introduce you to 15 of our most common verbs in Swedish. In future episodes, we'll keep going, but this is a good place to start.You can download the transcript, vocabulary list, and exercises on Patreon.https://www.patreon.com/slowswedish/membershipBrowse all episodes here: https://slowswedish.com/Happy learning! 💛

13. What Time Is It?
Telling time can be a little tricky in a new language. Especially when it differs from your native language. This week, you will learn how to tell time in Swedish. You'll notice that there are multiple ways of saying what time it is since we both use 12- and 24-hour clocks.But that just means your chances of getting it right increases, right? ;)You can download the transcript, vocabulary list, and exercises on Patreon.https://www.patreon.com/slowswedish/membershipBrowse all episodes here: https://slowswedish.com/Happy learning! 💛
