Today it´s sentence day (a whole sentence will be learned).

The sentence is: hur mår du which means how are you.

The letter “Ã¥” is pronounced as the “a” in ball.

Tomorrow you will be taught how to answer if someone asks “hur mÃ¥r du?

The word for today is snö which means snow.

The “Ö” (last letter on the image here) is pronounced, more or less as the “I” in sir.

Rob was correct about todays word. (Not getting any cookies though :P)

Todays word: är which means is.

For those who dont see the first letter in this word, its simply the second letter in the image here.

The letter is pronounced as the “a” in the american pronounciation of the word “after”.

Now you have a full sentence:
Hello, my name is… or, Hej, mitt namn är…

Tomorrow, we will learn a word including the letter Ö (last one on the mentioned image).

Todays word is namn which means name.

To see tomorrows word correctly, you will need to have your computer to show the 3 special letter Å, Ä and Ö.

How to do this, this teacher don´t know. :P
Here is an image on what they look like:
Swedish letters

Todays word, min or mitt which means my.
It can mean 2 things depending what you wanna say.

If you would like to say “It´s my computer” you would use min.
If you wanna say “It´s my table” or “the table is mine” you would use mitt.

In a couple of days you will see why I learned you mitt today. :)

Two people have inspired me for this post. These are Rob and Francis who runs How to learn Swedish in 1000 difficult lessons.

A while ago I read in Robs blog that he thinks he should post more. Well, I think I should as well, but I haven´t had anything to write in some time.

In the How to learn Swedish in 1000 difficult lessons blog, Francis teach his visitors swedish., which is an excellent idea I think, so why can´t I, I figured.
Francis writes about Sweden out of his perspective and often picks a word from that story to tech out, I will not write any stories from my life, I will just teach you a word once a day.

Todays word is hej which means hello.
