Some useful grammar rules or just articles on topic:

Satsadverbialet står efter ett obetonat pronomen som objekt (personligt eller reflexivt) när satsen bara innehåller en enkel verbform.
Språkspalt: Kanske, kanske inte
To ‘speak’ in Swedish: tala, prata, snacka. Which one do I use?!
“Tycker om” vs “gillar”
“Åka or gå”
[?] gå upp - stiga upp; inget - ingenting, allt - allting, nåt - något - någonting; sån - sådan; det - det här - detta; lycklig - glad; mycket - väldigt; är - finns - står; hitta - finna; bestämd form - min/din/sin; fel - misstag; snabbt - fort; klockan - vid; dåligt - illa; en - x yrkenamn; context dependent: är - finns - ligger - står etc; politeness: snälla - var snäll - om du är snäll; kul - roligt; väl - bra - go-d/-tt; faktiskt - egentligen - verkligen - riktigt; tycka - tro - tänka; (expression of so called “Tag questions” (http://www.grammarbank.com/question-types.html)) eller hur - inte sant - visst - väl - va; behöver - måste - tvungen; ska/skall - kommer att - present; laga/göra mat; göra något färdigt/klart; vara förkyld - ha en förkylning; vanligtvis - brukar.

Fix categories:

Utrum / neutrum (still some problems are present though for it/this/that and their Swedish equivalents den/den här/denna for utrum and det/det här/detta for neutrum)
Du / ni (where context doesn’t help)
Synonyms (gilla - tycka om, prata - tala etc)
Igår - i går, idag - i dag, imorgon - i morgon (same meaning, different, but correct in both cases written expression)

Limitations of the course:

Many separate entries for semantically same English prompts like “He is …” and “He’s …”.
Beware of some negative phrases which are with the help of memrise repeated quite a lot

amanda-norrsken · July 22, 2017, 1:52pm

Do you have a link for this course?

amanda-norrsken · July 22, 2017, 1:54pm

From a Swede on a Facebook group I heard that “att tala” is used for serious matters, whereas “att prata” is for more everyday matters. So they are not really synonyms.

Do you know what source has been used for the sentences in this course?

It just sounds like an odd sentence to say, somehow …

TheFour-GatedDanzig · July 22, 2017, 4:00pm

I don’t think this is maintained.

ivan.skachkov · July 23, 2017, 9:33am

Hm, didn’t know that, but actually there are more things to improve, than just this

If so, I wonder if me or somebody else, who currently actively learns the course could become a course contributor. @Lien, what do you think?

L-I-E-N · August 14, 2017, 9:50am

Good idea! I have emailed the course creator and invited them to this thread.
If we haven’t heard from them in a week or so, let me know so I can look into adding a contributor.

lazar.ljubenovic · August 14, 2017, 4:59pm

Woah, I had no idea that people were using this course this much. Completely forgot about, and I haven’t been really active on Memrise these months.

Do you know what source has been used for the sentences in this course?

As the description states, it’s from an Anki deck which is originally data scarped from Tatoeba.

It looks like ivan.skachkov is already a contributor. If anybody else wants edit access, feel free to ping me via e-mail. The mods are free to add contributors too based on their best judgement, if the platforms allows for that.

Happy learning everybody!

Of course. Done!

Would it be ok to try to supplement tts recordings?

amanda-norrsken · December 7, 2017, 7:06pm

I have read this combination - "hur kom det sig att … - on several occasions. It is perfectly OK and doesn’t need to be changed. There are also a number of examples using this construction on ord.se “engelska pro”.

amanda-norrsken · December 7, 2017, 7:15pm

Maybe it should be “Jag har problem med att äta pulvermedicin”???

I have read that “att äta” is used in connection with taking tablets and pills and so on.

or: “jag har svårt att äta pulvermedicin”

amanda-norrsken · December 7, 2017, 7:16pm

This one seems OK, grammatically. What is your problem with this one?

ivan.skachkov · December 7, 2017, 8:40pm

First wanted to ask what “tts recording” is, but after thinking a bit understood that it probably is “text to speech recording”.
Hm, not sure if it would be a pleasant experience for learners. Would be really nice to cut the phrases/sentences from real Swedish speech (radio/songs/movies etc) though .

ivan.skachkov · December 7, 2017, 8:45pm

Grammatically yes, but I have a feeling that it should be “så stort som mitt” (“så … som”).

Or “att ta” (don’t know if this could be directly translated from English). The problem with a number of sentences in this course is that some words are missed (I need double check, but some “gaps” seem to be grammatically correct, but not sure that it is the case for all of them).

All right

Casper_duo · December 7, 2017, 9:19pm

Yes, but that will never happen unless we a get a native Swedish volunteer and the likelihood for that is small as it’s a huge job.

At the moment using tts seems like the best option, but it’s a matter of preference, and some might not take a liking to it, and thus I ask. I personally think the google tts pronunciation for Swedish is quite good, and much better than nothing.

So if that is something people here think is preferable let me know.
I myself can’t use the audio provider script since I had some issues with it, which put a bit of a hamper on my reviews and progress.
