In this episode I’m sharing a summary of my entire life, and hopefully this can help you to tell people stories from your life too. I very briefly go through my childhood, my school years and how I lived in various countries in my adult life, up until the present moment. Don’t forget to download the transcript here below 🙂
Episode 10 transcript and word list:DownloadYou can also find the podcast on iTunes and Spotify, as well as the PodBean app! If you find it useful and want to support me, please consider subscribing to it:) Here below I will share how to use this podcast efficiently in your Swedish studies:
- Listen to the episode and try to understand as much as possible.
- Go through the text and translate the words you don’t understand, until you understand most of the text.
- Listen to the audio while reading the text. Pause if you need to.
- Now listen to the audio without the text. Pause/rewind if you need to. Get back to it in a few days again.
Bonus tips:
- Remember the Pareto Principle. 80% of your progress comes from 20% of your effort. Don’t aim to get 100%, 80-90 is better if you want to be efficient 🙂
- Listen to podcasts whenever you’re on your way somewhere, cooking, washing dishes, standing in line, traveling, or any other time you can’t sit down to study, but you can use your ears.
Awesome!!!
I’m happy you enjoy it:)
Thank you for making this podcast!
I started learning Swedish a few weeks ago at uni. I actually find it easier to understand your podcast compared to the listening examples in class because you pronounce everything so nice and clearly (and slow!). The transcript also helps a lot!
So yeah keep it up!
Tack för de fina orden! Jag är glad att du gillar den:)
Hej! Love your podcasts, they’re really helpful! One question though: is there a reason why your early episodes are disappearing from Spotify? They’re only available from #9 at the moment but there are no #1 to #8. Number 8 was actually on a couple of days ago but it’s gone now too.
Hi! I’ve been wondering this myself! Now since you asked me here I took my time to find out why and I apparently there was a limit in my settings set to 20. I have now changed that so I hope all episodes will accessible asap. Kul att du gillar min podd!
tank youuu

Hi! Just today I’ve discovered for myself your podcasts. They happened to be exactly of that speed and complexity that suit my level of Swedish. Frankly speaking I have been struggling with Swedish for many many years already until I found the right method for me – listening for podcasts on one hand and repeating phrases out loud on the other hand. I do appreciate your tips regarding learning languages and the content you are sharing. I hope soon I would achieve the level that allows me to take the course you are providing.
Hi Viktor! I’m very happy to hear that you find the podcast useful! I started making it because I realised that this type of resource was one of my favourites when I myself was learning languages. It’s always great to hear when others think the same! I think it’s the best way to practice spoken language, and to make sure you learn natural and not textbook style language.
Lycka till med studierna!
