49. When: I, om, för ... sen?

from Learn Swedish with Katrin Hosted by Katrin

Idag ska vi prata om tid. Today, we are going to talk about time. And not time in a deep, philosophical way. And not what time it is. More like… very practical, everyday time perspectives that still manage to confuse almost everyone. If you do something for five minutes, that’s similar to för in Swedish. If you are doing something in 3 weeks, that’s similar to i tre veckor in Swedish. But the correlations are completely wrong! Today, you'll learn my little hacks for telling them apart. You can download the transcript, vocabulary list, and exercises on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/slowswedish/membership Browse all episodes here: https://slowswedish.com/ Happy learning! 💛
