Learn Swedish with Katrin

This week, you will learn something that will make your Swedish a bit more flexible!
Modal verbs are small verbs that work together with another verb to change the meaning of the sentence. With just a few of them, you suddenly gain the ability to talk about abilities, plans, obligations, and intentions.

Today, you will listen to a little short story in Swedish. The story is called En borttappad plånbok, which means A lost wallet.
It is a simple story about losing something important, looking for it, and then hopefully finding it again. The language is not too difficult, but it might include a few new words.
You can download the transcript, vocabulary list (cheat sheet), and exercises on Patreon.

Today, we’re going to talk about långa meningar, long sentences in Swedish. Or perhaps not LOOONG long, but longer than we have been working on so far.
We will, of course, revisit this topic many times, but this is your first introduction to our main and subordinate clauses.
