Välkommen till min svenska podd för dig som är på väg att prata flytande svenska. Idag ska jag prata om hur det var för mig att komma till ett nytt land med kulturkrockarna.   

Svenskarna säger: borta bra men hemma bäst. Är det sant eller inte? Vad tycker du? Har du någon gång flyttat till ett nytt land? Eller ska du göra det?

Why Do Americans Hate the Sound 'T'?

Have you heard Americans do this? Check these words for more ideas:

Silent T- The letter T is not pronounced in some words (you need a dictionary to learn which words):

castle
whistle
chestnut
Christmas
fasten
listen
often

(With T)

soften
mortgage
mustn’t
thistle
mistletoe…

(In the cluster TCH)

catch
watch
kitchen

Final T in many modern words with a French origin:

beret
ballet
buffet
chalet
gourmet
valet
depot
debut… (the final French -et is pronounced /eɪ/ )

I hope it brings more clarity and check my classes types for more information on how I can help you privately.

Det här avsnittet är lite svårare (b2+) Jag pratar snabbare och om lite mer komplicerade ämnen : träning och hälsa, delar med mig av vad jag går igenom. Pratar också om några saker jag lärt mig ur böcker om hjärnan och människans evolution.
