Du vill praktisera det du har lärt dig i verkligheten med riktiga svenskar och så kommer tillfället. Du börjar prata med en person som heter Anders. Och Anders säger ”Hej, jag heter Anders. Vad heter du?” Och du blir nervös, du fryser till lite grann, men du klarar att säga vad du heter. Och du tänker ställa nästa fråga, men. Det är för sent. Anders har redan bytt till engelska och börjar prata engelska med dig. Det känns lite jobbigt. Du känner dig lite misslyckad. Och du fortsätter kanske försöka prata lite svenska. Men Anders bara fortsätter prata engelska. Och du ger upp och fortsätter prata engelska du också. Och samma situation händer igen och igen att varje gång du försöker prata svenska så fortsätter personen att prata på engelska och du blir mer och mer nervös och obekväm när du pratar svenska. Och, ja, du kanske börjar bli mer och mer frustrerad och mer och mer osäker och känner ”ah, jag kanske ska bara ge upp” och lära mig svenska. Det här funkar inte. Ja, så det här är det vi ska prata om idag.

Think you, you have studied Svanska Lange and now are you in Sweden on some sort of social tostallning and you will Prata Svanska, you will practiser what you have learned in the reality with

the realitia, and so come the time you start with a person who

he's and he and he hey, I know what he's you?

And you get nervous you fris to get to little

but you can you can say what you hear and

you think I think stella next question but is for sent.

Anders has already bit to English and begin to talk English with you,

it tends, you know, you know you kind of you know, and you

are maybe and you can't try a little Swedish but

Anders just juster and you get up and you get up and and

you also. And And, same situation It's again and again that every time you try to speak Spanish,

so then the person to talk on English and you'll be more and more nervous and unbequem

when you talk and you can't be more and more frustrated and more and more

osacer and you know ah I can't just give up and learn me in this

this is so this is that we should talk on today welcome to

Simple Swedish podcast and today we talk on how you can

how you can are how to stand in the to

English and that you're that you have some talk about on the

so this is one of the absolutely vanliest problem that people

have so before we begin we begin I thank three

new patrons it is Hawkan Sojata and Kirtu so thank

to you for that you stodger this pod and I will

also to tell about language lock-in so we have precisely

by language gym to language lock-in okay language lock-in has funnets

since begin but now we have we have we got on language gym

to language lock-in so all is now language lock-in and I I

can't this this And in precisely of this anledening for to help people with exact this problem. Also, that you build

his self-fetroending and that you build its flit on the Swedish so that you can stand to more and more and be more

and more self-sacred in the Swedish. And a pair things that people have said about language lock-in is, to example, I was so read to talk to Spanish for out,

now have I whole conversations, real conversations, not things from the learoboken. Or, I used to frisal when people

were talking speaking with me. Now, will I actually say on my, or I had precisely a

stort leant on leappar all so wow I could I'm

I know what they said and could say and

it was fantastic so if you will have this this and

if you will have help with to actually clear

this so have we got language for this here

and link is in the so but Now, now we actually go

in-gienom exactly what this is the here on, why people bit to

English and what you can do it. So, first and first and for the

why happened this why why biter people to

English and first and first and first and people always always

always just just communicate so effectively so effective as

we have a for to communicate and therefore will people just

communicate as effectively as much as all all will it like it actually

it's naturally and and number two is that if if you

and you and you see that I am nervous or obequem then

will you so-clard help me there is a sprung that I are more

bequem in. And a sprote that you also can talk so come

you so quite to to buy so that I will be more bequem

okay and I think this very very stark in this

we will really really help people people who are little

obequem so we we are very we We are Obequemable, when other

people are unbequemar. I think Swenksker, so if you see that someone is a little obequem, so we're trying to help that person, whole can't. It's quite normal, I'd say. And then, there's

maybe a third one also, and it is that many Swenksker gillar, whole can't to talk English. So, so is it just, and especially

in the state, type, in Stockholm. So, what can do you do

on this so we come to the absolute important soon, but first and first and

first and that many swansker that many can you not do anything

a lot at all. So some people come whole simply

will you talk English no about how you're about you talk

so some people but absolutely not all so for all

other so are it so so clart first and first and first and

very important with effective communication or that that you

all can communicate so you must completely can't

be able to much word or understand to get really many

word and forstow talad Swedish okay so so it is

so it is so that you have a great and that you actually can

say things and for clar what you will say on

the but I think that actually you don't have a really,

a very, yet a high level for this here. But you must have a quite

good for many words and hear-forstolse and can to talk on,

also, can't be able to say. But I think that is the most

problemet I, I don't not is this actually, But the Sturst problem

It, I I think that You know You know Obequem When you Prater

Svanska And if you know Obequem Then people Willia help

you by To and if you are very Obeququem So,

people also KENner So therefore is that you're actually are that you're actually become more and more

bequefam with Swedish. And how you're being becvom with to talk about to speak

yeah this here I think two, two things. First and most you must you

build your self-fetroending by to have in situations where you you know

in situations where you know you can't you feel like so think on what

situations can I can I can I know on I can feel me

and I can feel like those situations you are you do much in, for it is very, very very, very,

very important, that you can learn in situations where you can get you try and and then

you think you your self-fetroending and then when you are in a situation with a little high-press,

then you can get you much more And then is chanceen much, much

mindre that other people biter to English so yeah

I'm in situations where you can feel you can feel I think

is the one the other the other thing is the real

psychology so when you are in this situation that you are nervous in

why why are you nervous actually also there is there so rent

logist so there there isn't anything to be so often

so so are we very critical to us and we talk negatively to us So, thinker

on it, how I'm with me self? I say I to me self that if I

not I say all thing grammatist correct, ah, then I am dumb or if

I don't understand the other personen then I not, then I not smart

not. If I not not are roly then I not, if I

not utryker me elegant, then I am not. So, that we have a mass of these different things that we say to us

self. So it's very, very important that we are accepter to us that we accepter where we are

just now and say that okay, it's not it's not role. I should just talk.

I'm going to learn to know people and just focuser on communication. Focusing on the other manchion. Versusk andvenda

Svanska Sprotet So, on the same set as you're using your modersmol. Okay? And you can not say all of the

words so-clart. Also, you can not outriced like elegant, like sophisticated, like roly or what it

now is but you can communicate with people you can learn people you can

everything that you want to do just try do on on

and stop think on grammat and to do feel

and to use exactly right word and and slut to be critical

to yourself so all these things. When you actually talk with a person on

swenka just try to stopna of and talk positively to you

self be upmuntra and focuser just to focus on communication so

so so so that I think I think we are very very important so we have to be

a very to bequem it bestore of at a very in situations

where you actually feel you feel and to train on the psychological

how I'm to me self I think I on grammat

in a instead for to communicate for I lov you

if you just You just communicate and strunter in your fell if you're just, if you are doly Swedish, if you

talk fell swenkska, but you know you're trying and off-slappnard, then is a chanceen that

people standar in the Spanish the sproket with you. It's no role if you say

fail. The what's important is that you are that you feel you feel like you

feel like you know if you talk a great good good

and correct Swedish but you are nervous and you are

chances maybe more that people bit speak for

if if we can communicate then all thing all thing good. But

if you are a little osacred and nervous, it's then that people often buyter to English. Not for that you say something little fell, okay?

And I know that this is really jobbit for some people. For I am a perfectionist and I will say all thing correct

but I have I have had uplevelser of that really can't say all thing correct and people are to English with me

but when I began to focuser just on communication and focuser on the sametalet on the other person on the social

context, then slutal people to be it to English. For that they know not that they're not, that they behoves. For that, people

know often that you have to beita a sprot if the other person is unbequem. So, that is the sturdest. So,

so, yeah, whole cancels. I'm very much in context where you feel it bequefame and talk more positive and upmuntra to you self. Focer on communication

and a great tip. Beretta for people that you learn it in Spanish and that you girena will stand in Spanish all. All of

not do it, but the most will say will you help to. So, yeah, so long as you actually can communicate on Swedish, so is the first thing to train on. So I hope that this has been used to useable for you. And, yeah, commenter and tell you.

on your uplevances have you upleved this have you some tips for to get people to talk to speak English, also as, as the goal is not that

all now now should stop to talk English with you but step for step that people are more and more

Swedish with you and that you talk more and more Svanska with folk so-clar. So commenter, beretta on your experiences, your thoughts. So so we'll hear's we

soon again. Hey-d-d-do.
