Thanks for the material, will give it a try.

[After the Rain]

If you ever studied a foreign language by now you have realised not everyone who speaks that language can teach it. For the grammar part there are books one can read autonomously, but for spoken language interaction with someone else is fundamental.
Personally I’ve found listening to people talking slowly is more beneficial for beginners getting accustomed to vastly different sounds. Videos with subtitles are an excellent tool for learning; imho more useful than the simple audio tracks that come with grammar books.
Surely intermediate and advanced students will find this redundant, but we all have to start somewhere.

So please post video material with slow speaking with *both** English and Swedish subtitles. It doesn’t have to be super interesting or technical. Below is material that I am using myself.

Slow Swedish by Say it in Swedish
It’s a playlist of 8 videos with random everyday things.

Slow Swedish for Beginners for Beginners by Katrin Berndt
5 videos about common topics.

Skrotnisse och hans vänner by EFX
Animated movie for kids. It’s not as slow as the others but the pronunciation is clear enough.

If you have more please share 🙂
