Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time: Strong beginners to pre-intermediate learners
A truly bizarre cooking program where they violently combine the ingredients and yell out what they’re doing in Swedish. They do switch to English for more advanced vocabulary and state that the show is in Swenglish.
I’ve always considered the kitchen to be a great place to practice Swedish.
Food vocabulary is often provided very early on in any course and your conversations can easily increase in length and difficulty as you improve. My only concern with this program is that their speech is not always easy to discern.
I guess in some respects it’s helpful to try to pick out the words from speakers who aren’t easy to understand.
However I wouldn’t recommend trying to emulate their speech unless you want to seem like a slightly crazy person.

There are heaps of regional dialects in Sweden, but they are divided into six categories: South Swedish, Götaland, Svealand, Norrland, Finland Swedish and Gotland.
You can practice listening to each of these dialects on the Radio Svenska website (provided above). Then you can challenge yourself to distinguish between the dialects – if you’re feeling brave.
The challenge is available here.
