Part 1 Do people work just to survive or are there deeper reasons for it - does work keep us in psychological balance? If you had a lot of money, would you work? If no, why not, and if yes, what kind of job would it be? Why do you think some people choose dangerous jobs like police, army or mining despite the risks - is it only money that motivates them? Should prisoners work? If no, why not? If yes, how would you organize that work, for example what kind of work would it be,

Hello everyone! I would like to inform you that we are opening a new språkcafé in March - on Monday evenings we will be speaking English . The first session takes place on March 23rd at 19:00 . Why an English språkcafé in Sweden? After years of focusing solely on learning Swedish, which is necessary to function normally in Sweden, I realized that I was neglecting my English. Also, now that they see that I can speak Swedish, Swedes avoid speaking English with me - it's actual

Let's take a break from verbs and change context to nouns. For today's topic, I chose singular nouns. Let's learn how they behave when they change from singular to plural or from indefinite to definite form. I'm sure we all know the difference between singular and plural (en katt, många katter), but it's not always clear what the terms indefinite and definite mean. For example, my mother tongue doesn't have such grammatical constructions. On the other hand, English and Swedis

Part 1 What does it mean to have a friend? How many people do you consider your friends? What do we mean when we say "a best friend"? Who was your first friend? Do you have Swedish friends? Who is your best friend, where did you two meet and why do you consider that person to be your best friend? How do you usually communicate with your friends - social media, text messages, phone calls, meetings...? How do you spend time with your friends, what do you do together? How honest

Last time we learned about two more groups within the larger group of strong verbs. A reminder: strong verbs have some irregularities compared to the first three verb groups, but their subgroups do follow their own rules, and knowing these rules helps us use those verbs in an easier way. Here are the two subgroups we studied last time and their representatives: 1) verbs whose verb stem contains a u att sjunga Sjung! sjunger sjöng har sjungit to sing att njuta Njut! njuter nj

Part 1 Why do people like to travel? Do you like to travel? Why yes or why not? How often do you travel and for what purpose? What was your favorite trip? Have you had a trip that you didn't like very much? If you had as much money as you needed, what would your ideal trip look like? Which countries have you visited so far, and which was your favorite and why? Which destinations would you most like to visit and why? Who is your favorite person to travel with and why? Do you b

Today we have two other groups of strong verbs that exhibit certain regularities when it comes to changing tenses and forms. One is that contains u, and the other contains y in its verb stem. In the second group, there is a variation in perfekt when verbs whose verb stem is based on the vowel y also contain a consonant s. Here are the rules for how to form their tenses and forms: tenses: presens, preteritum, perfekt; forms: infinitiv, imperativ infinitiv imperativ presens pre

Part 1 Why do we need science? Do you know how science works, that is, what methods it uses to make new discoveries? Can you name an example of something that science gave us? How do you think people discovered things about the world before science? What problem would you most like science to solve in the near future? What qualities should a good scientist have? Do you personally know any scientists, and if so, what is their field of work? Have you ever wanted to be a scienti

Cornelis Vreeswijk (first from the left) on the Vietnam demonstrations in Stockholm on August 28, 1965 Ah, Cornelis Vreesvijk... I liked him the moment I heard about him. The biggest star of modern Swedish troubadour music and also a Dutchman by birth - talking about an immigrant story. Yes, his colorful lifestyle certainly wakes interest, but for me the sensibility with which he expresses his thoughts and sensibility through his lyrics and performance style is just superb. F
