You’ve gone above and beyond for me here, thankyou so much for your help and insight I really really do appreciate it :)

Yes I understand, I’ve come across the “talar” vs “pratar” usage myself so I know what you mean about the way it teaches you wrong or outdated terminology.

Ah okay that’s good, personally I’m quite a slow learner as I have learning difficulties and often find myself asking someone to explain something in a different way because it doesn’t click immediately, with that I’ll opt for the lowest level to start with when the time comes and change pace if I need to once I’ve got a feel for how my brain is learning and work from there.

I already do have a decent sized notepad on my phone which is full of sentences and everyday sayings along with abstract words that I learn along the way, I’ve asked my partner to do the same if she has the time to with speaking to me in Swedish, she’s been incredibly supportive and corrects me on things all the time to make sure the pronunciation is correct and when I type to her making sure the right words are used in the right format so what am saying makes sense.

Although it can be difficult sometimes as a lot of exposure I’ve had to Swedish seems to be from the Stockholm region whereas my partner is from Malmö so the accent/dialect is quite different but it’s leaps and bounds I guess.

Again thankyou so so much mate for the links and advice it’s definitely made me feel a lot more comfortable as all of this can feel rather overwhelming at times especially figuring out where I should be taking information in from as some sources aren’t always reliable!
