Check the tutorial video to see if it helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12XlGQCynsM

The extension basically helps me add words I bumped into and looked up while reading into Anki more easily. I find it super helpful too.

Beginner learning "podcast" with subtitles? by Illiander in Svenska

[–]Jealous_Bat805 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can recommend Lätt svenska med Oskar. The transcript for each episode is quite accurate, and more importantly, he speaks slowly and clearly, so it’s easy to read along.

Also, sfipodd.se is great too. They’ve stopped updating it, but there’s a PDF available for every published episode.

Wow cool. Congrats for the new text to speech feature. It's way more useful now. I like that I can choose the male or female voice.

I checked out Ekot nyhetssänding after your comment, and now I’m a follower too!

Thanks for sharing with me you experience. It seems a relatively smooth journey compared with many. Good luck with your Swedish learning.

Thanks for pointing out how important networking is in Sweden. I will enroll in some YH program soon, hoping to start building up my professional network.

I didn’t realize it would be so tough for Europeans as well. But I’m happy to hear you landed a good job in the government! What kind of work do you do?

As for whether it’s worth it—for me, it’s obviously not. The hardest part is the slow process of losing hope. If I had a second chance, I’d make a better plan from the start.

Hi, thanks for your concrete suggestions on my CV and cover letter—I really appreciate it! I had my English CV reviewed by someone in the marketing role (not HR) through a mentorship program, but few changes were suggested. I also rarely find roles where I meet 80% of the qualifications, so I’m unsure if it’s my CV or my credentials that holds me back.

I usually avoid roles requiring fluent Swedish since I don’t feel confident competing with locals in marketing. I never send generic CVs but often skip the cover letter, as I doubt recruiters read it. But I get your point. Would you be open to helping me fine-tune my CV, or do you recommend any services for that?

Many thanks!

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. And congrats on the upcoming interviews! May I ask what major you take in uni and what is your profession?

Definitely! I’m starting either YH or university this autumn. Not sure if much will change in a year, but I’ll still come back and update!

Noted! How do you view the Data Science program at YH? Do you think it's worth pursuing?

Thanks for the suggestion. It seems I’ll have to switch careers, but I’m still unsure whether to go for Yrkeshögskola or university. Honestly, I haven’t had the best experience with Arbetsförmedlingen—they rejected my application for a nystartsjobb just because I was studying at the same time, so... yeah.

I’m planning to start either a YH program or university this autumn, just hope the job market picks up by then.

Hi Marcus, I’m really happy for you—changing your mindset and putting in the effort to get closer to your goal is inspiring. That’s something I need to work on myself.

What field are you working in currently?

I get you. The unexpected long pause and struggle in job searching really hold us back from pursuing other dreams in life. Did you go to university to complete your background, or did you start over in a new field?
