Unless of course you want to call med disorganized lol ;)

beta Thursday 31st of March 2005 02:30:01 AM
- oops, sorry i didnt see that thread at all! I was just assuming if there was one allready it would have been sticky and there at the top to add to. But if you want we can combine them to make a better list.

beta Thursday 31st of March 2005 02:57:49 AM
- Ok, i combined all the links, i havnt edited anything obviously because its your work, but if your happy with it we can take out the doubles and so on, make it look good :)

Rikard Thursday 31st of March 2005 05:13:15 AM
- No offense taken. Sure let's use yours. The reason it was not sticky is cause no moderator is around lol.

But i'll gladly push over the responsibility on you to put together and maintain this list hehe :) Good work.

*Leans back and takes it easy :D

beta Thursday 31st of March 2005 05:58:24 PM
- I was meaning everyone will be maintaining the list :) thats what i am hoping for, for people to add new ones to the thread as they find them. Its a decent start now.

Rikard Thursday 31st of March 2005 08:21:43 PM
- Of course. But it's still you who will have to edit the first post hehe :)

Salleman Friday 08th of April 2005 03:30:54 AM
- Don't forget the almighty SAOB, från A till Talkumera:

http://g3.spraakdata.gu.se/saob/

(Btw, "talkumera" means "bestrew with talcum". They have worked on it since the 18:th century, but have hereto only come this far.)

teknogeek Friday 08th of April 2005 07:08:54 AM
- Those are some really great links! Keep them coming!

beta Monday 11th of April 2005 03:08:26 AM

Another very good link (if it hasn't been mentioned yet),

www.sr.se

Swedish online radio, perhaps the best online radio site in the world, so students of Swedish are really lucky :) Has a couple of channels where they talk and talk most of the time, and also previous broadcasts are available, so you can check over and over again when you hear something peculiar :)

Rikard Wednesday 13th of April 2005 10:36:09 PM
- Here's a page that covers swedish accents all across the country and some of the variants in finland too.

http://swedia.ling.umu.se/

You can listen to them and read "translations" hehe :)

Salleman Sunday 17th of April 2005 06:20:05 AM

(online beginning Swedish courses, basic grammar and sound files)

http://stp.ling.uu.se/call/swedish/

http://www.travlang.com/languages/cgi-bin/langchoice.cgi?lang1=english&lang2=swedish&page=main Svenska för resenärer
basic lists of words and phrases with realaudio sound clips

http://pekspro.com/english/vokabel.html
a sort of flash-card vocabulary program.

http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/languages/sv
project gutenberg's list of ebooks in swedish. i aven't downloaded any, because i'm certainly not at a book-reading level yet, but i've downloaded a lot of stuff from them in other languages. of similar interest:

http://manybooks.net/language.php?code=sv

http://www.lysator.liu.se/language/Languages/Swedish/Grammar.html
some grammar stuff.

http://web.hhs.se/isa/swedish/
intro to swedish online course w/sound clips

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/1290/

Swedish link - That might be interesting too:

http://home.unilang.org/main/resources.php?lng=sv&l=en§ion=bylanguage&showlinks=1

narnigrin Wednesday 21st of March 2007 10:18:29 PM
- A mixture (en salig röra!) of links that I\'ve found:

http://swedia.ling.gu.se/ - A site about Swedish dialects, with quite a large number of sound examples (and the examples are also very good as it\'s not just one or two sentences but entire conversations that have been recorded and transcribed). The site is in Swedish, but you can of course make an attempt at it even if you\'re not fluent yet. :)

http://avigsidan.com/avigsidan/webbkarta.html - Avigsidan, a Swedish web site full of funny mistranslations, misunderstandings and in general what we Swedes would call \"språkliga grodor\".

And let\'s not forget Wikipedia (which I can see that some of you haven\'t, but still, I think we have far too few Wikipedia links here :) ):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_language - General stuff about the Swedish language, in English. Although the article is littered with technical talk (\"voiceless dorso-palatal velar fricative\" and other dreadful jargon expressions), it\'s a good place to start looking for general information if you\'re interested. Mind you this is not a learning course but information - for example, history of the language. If you scroll down a bit, there\'s some sound samples of different Swedish dialects as well, taken from SweDia, mentioned above.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_phrases_in_various_languages#Swedish - Some common phrases in Swedish. The page also lists phrases in an array of other languages.

http://sv.wikipedia.org/ - Swedish Wikipedia, of course! It doesn\'t have as many, or as comprehensive, articles as its English equivalent, but there\'s still over 200 000 articles in Swedish. Try clicking the \"Slumpartikel\" link to the left and see where you end up!

You could also try http://www.sweden.se - I haven\'t checked it very closely, but it seems to be a page in English about Sweden in general, with info, news and all sorts of stuff (including learning resources, I think).
