I live in india and I have been learning swedish for about 8 months now. grammar is coming along, reading is decent, I can follow slow swedish youtube without subtitles most of the time. on paper things are going okay.

But the speaking side is completely dead and the reason is simple. there is nobody around me who speaks swedish. not one person. my city has a thriving english speaking community, decent french learners, tons of people learning japanese and korean. swedish is just not a thing here so I went looking online and that's where it gets lonely.

hellotalk has maybe 8 swedish speakers on it and half of them haven't been active since 2023. tandem is worse. I joined three different language learning discord servers and every single one has a swedish channel that is basically a graveyard. the last message in one of them was seven months ago. I posted anyway and heard nothing back. The timezone thing makes it even harder. norway is about 4 and a half hours behind me which sounds manageable until you realize that by the time I'm done with work and have time to practice it's already late evening in sweden and the window where we're both free is tiny.

I spent a few months just accepting that speaking practice wasn't going to happen until I could somehow get to norway. that was a pretty depressing conclusion.

I posted about this frustration on r/languagelearning a while back and someone in the comments mentioned Issen. said they were in a similar situation learning a niche language with no community nearby and it was the only thing that actually solved the practice partner problem. I was skeptical honestly because I'd tried a couple of AI tools before and they felt gimmicky. but I was desperate enough to try anything. been using it for about 6 weeks now. you just open it and have a real voice conversation in swedish. it corrects you mid conversation, adjusts to your level, and it doesn't matter what time it is in sweden because nobody in sweden is involved. the timezone problem just stopped existing. my speaking has moved more in these 6 weeks than the previous 8 months combined. not magic, just the fact that I'm finally actually speaking out loud every day instead of doing everything except that.

Hi guys! I just need your advice on how can I grow with my contents. As newbie, I still dont know what niche should I pursue.I've watched so many tutorials. Most common thing that I have to do is just editing videos, using AI for enchancement then posted in on social media. I appreciate any tips or suggestion.

The market right now is super violatile, you need to make sure that you are aware of everything for you not to loss your funds. Specially right how, there's a war in some region that might affect your financial status in the market. Please be mindful. Be vigilant.

I'm doing my task on a daily basis then someone approached me when I was walking on the streets and asked for my help about some papers in a specific government office. She pays me unexpectedly after I submit and help her to process her errands quickly. I guess it was an effective way to get paid without you knowing it lol.

Upon researching some tips and advice from some group I decided to try to invest in PSE. I think the market is still in good standing. If you still didn't try it you can check it yourself.

Im trying to build my career by making some product content and posting it however, I don't what is the best tool to use for? Much better if it is a friendly for newbies like me. Thank you so much for your insight.

What do you think the effect of AI in our lives everyone. Ive checked the news and there are advantages and disadvantage. Any thoughts?

A big thanks to that AI because I can do some research easily. You saved me a lot of time dude 🙏
