Hey everyone,
Im 26M and I see that many people in this sub are looking for someone to help them with english. I am no teacher myself, but I would love to help if someone is genuinely willing to learn the language. I can chat, or call (when I'm not at work lol). I also wouldnt mind making a friend along the way.
So if any of you want to connect, just send me a message :)
Hey guys, I don't live in a native english country, however im very fluent in english (C1 if not C2), and I see that there are many people who want to learn english. I would be happy to help anyone who wants to get in touch and practice it :) Im not a professional teacher or anything, just trying to help people who want to practice it but cannot find anyone to do it with!
Hey everyone,
For some context, I have been learning swedish for the past 8 months or so. I have been using this textbook called Complete Swedish along with duolingo for vocabulary as well as trying to converse with some swedish people I know and consuming swedish media (shows and songs) along with occasionally listening to some podcasts on YT. For context, I am not from sweden and I don't live there. I had some questions and I was wondering if there was someone who could guide me.
So the complete swedish textbook is supposed to help me be A2 or B1, as it says. The book is almost about to finish, so I wanted to ask how to continue from there? Is there some other textbook I could continue with which will teach me b1 and b2 etc.
Another question I had was if someone could recommend me some novels. Right now I've read some children story books and 'short stories' by Olly Richard. So if someone could recommend me novels that aren't too hard, that would be nice.
I will say, my listening has definitely improved, but sometimes there are words I know, but when swedes speak in their natural pace, I'm not able to pick them which can feel very demotivating at times. Are there any podcasts that you can recommend which will improve my hearing? I know about the usual slow swedish with katrin etc but if someone else knows any other, that would be grateful.
Any other tips are also welcome :). Thank you!
I'm 25 (almost 26) and just had my first endoscopy this weekend. Waiting on biopsy results next week but the endoscopy report already has a few things on it and I'd like some perspective from people who've been through this or a doctor.
Background / symptoms:
Endoscopy findings:
Everything I read online says most of this doesn't have a cure and is just "managed", and that Barrett's means endoscopies every couple of years indefinitely. My doctor said none of that, which is why I'm second-guessing.
Not looking for a diagnosis, I'm seeing my doctor again soon and will ask all of this. Just want to hear from people who've actually lived with it. Thanks.
Hej everyone,
I have been learning swedish for the past 8 months or so. While im doing well and understanding stuff by writing and texting, I feel like my listening is still not so good. I was wondering what are some apps or resources that I can practice my listening with (I dont live in sweden). I am also willing to use paid resources if its not too ‘overpriced’. it would be a great help! thank you everyone.
Hey guys, thought I'd put myself out there and make some friends!
About me. I think I'm good at making conversation, unless you have nothing to say haha. I also bring a touch of sarcasm and humor with me, so I feel like its a nice combination :) I love having deep conversations, while also joking around and saying meaningless stuff (that is equally important haha). I am also open to VC and hanging out to watch a movie or just talk. I only hope to find someone whos also willing to emotionally invest in me as a friend.
I'd love for us to talk daily (don't worry, I won't be expecting you to talk to me every second. Everyone has a life haha. and so do I). I get attached to people very easily, so I am not made for short term friendships and would like a friend that I can talk to long term.
If you think we'd be compatible, message me. If we vibe, thats great! If we don't, thats okay too :). Either way I don't bite haha. If you don't know what to say, start with introducing yourself a little, and we can see where it goes!
Bonus points if you’re from Sweden since Im learning Swedish :)
Hey guys,
Ive been learning swedish for the past 6 months, and Im currently at A2. However I feel like I would do better if I had someone as a friend who actually spoke swedish. Im up for calls, but im totally okay with chat too. Im a fun person so you wouldnt get bored with me haha.
Ive been interested a lot in swedens culture, and Ive read a lot about it from the textbook Im reading to learn swedish. But finding a swedish buddy or someone who speaks swedish has been the most difficult phase of my life XD, so I would be grateful if any of you is up for it.
So this is my PC setup, and Im happy with it. I have a triple monitor stand, but whats bugging me are the wires. How can I make this look more aesthetic? Im thinking of getting a undertable box management tray, but I don't think that will be enough. Any suggestions are helpful!
So long story short, my company is creating a screenshot monitoring tracker, that will take screenshots of what is on my screen. Im often quick in my work, and get free, and use that time to scroll on social media, or watch YouTube or sometimes even Netflix at work. I was wondering, is there a way that I can avoid this BS
EDIT: I use the Macbook M1 Pro (16GB Ram, 500GB ssd) so what I did was install a virtual machine, allocated 8GB ram to it and 128GB space. it will work fine with 64GB space too. And I assigned 2 processor cores to it. Then I downloaded all the necessary stuff like Cursor, Claude, Github Desktop, Spotify, Brave/Chrome and all the essential apps you need including the stupid tracker. Cloned the project I was working on, and opened cursor with that code. It will be a bit slow and sluggish and remember do not run the project on 8GB of ram otherwise your virtual machine will get too slow and sluggish. You just need your company to get an idea that youre working. I even opened a tab of my facebook/instagram or sometimes a random video on YT to make it look more realistic.
Then I downloaded this app called LazyWorks, it costs 10 usd per month but its great and worth it for this type of unnecessary micromanagement. It will moves your cursor for you, changes application and etc. It will keep doing activity for you, and you can do whatever you like on your real PC.
When I actually have to work, I turn the virtual machine off, and run the tracker on my real PC, and no one finds out about it. Its a hassle yes, but worth it. I can stream YT or Netflix with ease while having 10-15 other tabs open on my macbook, for windows im not sure because they can get slow and sluggish on the remaining resources, but if you have a laptop with 24gb ram, its gonna work fine you.

Hey, I'm 25M, and I can speak fluent english and I don't mind conversing with other people, whether on text or voice to help with english. I would prefer if someone who knows swedish would get in touch, since I'm learning swedish, but even if not, thats okay :). I can still help anyone who wants to converse in english. I'm very easy to get along with a very patient person haha
Swedish level: Beginner (around A1–A2)
Language: Native Urdu speaker, fluent in English, currently learning Swedish.
Looking for: Someone who's willing to help me improve my Swedish through chatting. Native speakers would be amazing, but I'm also happy to meet other learners so we can practice together.
I've been learning Swedish with Duolingo, a grammar book, and by practicing whenever I can, but I feel like I need more real conversations to improve. My goal is to become comfortable speaking and understanding everyday Swedish.
A little about me: I'm a software developer, I enjoy gaming, learning languages, and meeting people from different cultures.
If you're interested in chatting, correcting my Swedish, or just being language buddies, feel free to send me a DM! I'd be happy to help with English in return as well. 😊
Hej,
I am a guy (25M) looking for a swedish friend to help practice my speaking and listening skills. I've been learning swedish consistently for the past 3 months or so, but I don't get enough practice for speaking and listening. If anyone is willing, dm me! I dont think I am boring in general, so it will be fun and ofcourse we can always hangout in voice chat too and do other fun stuff like playing games or watching movies as well haha
Tack.
Hej guys,
I've been learning swedish through Duolingo and a textbook called Complete Swedish. I came across Babbel, and I realized it has more in depth explanations than duolingo. I have been thinking of switching to it, and all the comparisons I've read point to switching to Babbel. But I would still like an opinion on this.
I'm on section 2 unit 18 of duolingo for Swedish, and I was wondering, if i choose babbel, from where do I begin my lessons, because obviously I don't want to start from scratch again etc. So if there's anyone that could guide me on this, I'd be really grateful. Tack
Hey guys, thought I'd put myself out there and make some friends!
About me. I think I'm good at making conversation, unless you have nothing to say haha. I also bring a touch of sarcasm and humor with me, so I feel like its a nice combination :) I love having deep conversations, while also joking around and saying meaningless stuff (that is equally important haha). I am also open to VC and hanging out to watch a movie or just talk. I only hope to find someone whos also willing to emotionally invest in me as a friend.
I'd love for us to talk daily (don't worry, I won't be expecting you to talk to me every second. Everyone has a life haha. and so do I). I get attached to people very easily, so I am not made for short term friendships and would like a friend that I can talk to long term.
If you think we'd be compatible, message me. If we vibe, thats great! If we don't, thats okay too :). Either way I don't bite haha. If you don't know what to say, start with introducing yourself a little, and we can see where it goes!
Bonus points if you’re from Sweden since Im learning Swedish :)
