Some Swedish grammar mistakes just seem to stick around, even after you’ve been learning the language for years. So in this episode, we’re looking at five mistakes I hear Swedish learners make all the time.

We’ll talk about adjective agreement, the V2 rule and word order in indirect questions. We’ll also look at why it’s den här boken but min bok.

These mistakes usually won’t stop people from understanding you, but fixing them can make a big difference if you want to improve your Swedish grammar.

We’ll also compare sentences like Jag köpte en present till dig and Jag köpte en present åt dig to see how one little word can completely change the meaning.
