Below is a list of things you might want to look out for that I want to share. These are things I have subconsciously done for some time. It might be helpful to everyone who wants a quicker pace to learning Swedish and hacking that dream job!
- Never be scared to ask if there is something you do not understand. Might be a word, a sentence, or a word that makes the sentence suddenly confusing. There are always three words to understand a word: ask an explanation from the teacher, another immigrant who speaks your mother tongue who knows swedish better, AND do not forget to read the dictionary.
- Always use your language app to translate when you come across a difficult word. It would be more advisable NOT to translate ENTIRE sentences, but merely words so you can better understand the context of each sentence. It also helps to hear how words are pronounced which is usually included in the phone application's feature. Whether it be an iPhone or the newest Samsung Galaxy phone. It does not matter. The important thing is that you learn.
- Learn a word at least once a day, once every three days. The important thing is that you learn something new all the time. After learning the word, you need to practice it in a sentence, and practice pronouncing it. Frequency is the key.
- Learn a new swedish song and make a target to fully understand the extent of its meaning in your own time. Making it a goal (for example one song a week, or a day for that matter) makes it easier and a bit more comfortable for one to learn Swedish at a quicker pace.
- Say it out loud. Sometimes, the trick in remembering how a sentence is constructed (and not just by how words are pronounced) is by hearing someone say them out loud. It might seem dumb, but HEARING YOURSELF speak a new language does wonders to heighten your memory capacity.
Those are the shortest ways to learn Swedish faster to be on a quicker pace to learning your goal. One does not need any more than these if one is consistent. Good luck!
