- Lucas: Welcome back to another episode of Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. Hi everyone. It is so good to be here again. Lucas: It really is. We have been going through so many different places lately. Luna: Yes. Last time we were at the bank, remember? Lucas: We were. You learned how to ask about opening an account. Luna: I do remember that one. It felt very official. Lucas: It was. And today, we are going somewhere else that feels a bit more personal. Luna: Oh? Where are we going? Lucas: We are going to the pharmacy. Or apotek in Swedish. Luna: Ah, yes. I need to learn some things for that. I always get nervous there. Lucas: That is completely normal. But we will take it slow. Just like before. Luna: Okay. So, what is the first thing we might say? Lucas: Well, sometimes you just need to find where the place is. Luna: Right. So if I am walking down the street, I might ask... Lucas: Let's start with this phrase: Var ligger närmaste bankomaten? Luna: Var ligger närmaste bankomaten? Lucas: Exactly. Var ligger närmaste bankomaten? Luna: Wait, isn't that asking for the nearest ATM? Lucas: It is. But often, ATMs are near pharmacies or stores. It is a useful question. Luna: Oh, I see. So it is about finding a place to get cash. Lucas: Precisely. Let's break it down slowly. Var ligger... Var ligger... Luna: Var ligger. Okay. Närmaste bankomaten. Närmaste bankomaten. Lucas: Good. Now say the whole thing together. Luna: Var ligger närmaste bankomaten? Lucas: Perfect. That means 'Where is the nearest ATM?' Luna: That is helpful. Even if I am not buying medicine yet. Lucas: True. Sometimes you need money first. But let's go inside now. Luna: Okay. I am at the counter. What do I say? Lucas: You might have forgotten something important. Like your password. Luna: Oh no. That happens to me all the time. Lucas: So you can say: Jag har glömt mitt lösenord. Luna: Jag har glömt mitt lösenord. Lucas: Very good. Jag har glömt mitt lösenord. Luna: Jag har glömt mitt lösenord. Lucas: And that means 'I have forgotten my password.' Luna: Oh my gosh. That is embarrassing but true. Lucas: It is fine. The pharmacist will help you. Just repeat it slowly. Luna: Jag har glömt mitt lösenord. Jag har glömt mitt lösenord. Lucas: Nailed it. There it is. Luna: Okay. So I am at the bank counter. I forgot my password. Lucas: Right. And then you might want to know the fees. Luna: Ah, yes. Money matters. Lucas: So you can ask: Vad kostar det att ha ett konto? Luna: Vad kostar det att ha ett konto? Lucas: Excellent. Vad kostar det att ha ett konto? Luna: Vad kostar det att ha ett konto? Lucas: That means 'How much does it cost to have an account?' Luna: That is a very practical question. Especially for travelers. Lucas: It is. Let's practice it one more time together. Luna: Vad kostar det att ha ett konto? Lucas: Perfect. You are getting better at this. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. I feel more confident already. Lucas: Before we finish, I want to share something with you. Luna: Sure. What is it? Lucas: If Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with this language... Luna: Yes? Lucas: A couple of dollars a month is genuinely what keeps these going. Luna: Oh, I see. Lucas: Buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Luna: Yeah. If you've gotten something out of them, that would be great. Lucas: It really makes a difference. Thanks for listening. Luna: Now, back to the bank. What is our last phrase? Lucas: Right. You might wonder if you need your card with you. Luna: Oh, yes. That is important too. Lucas: So you can ask: Behöver jag medfölja kort? Luna: Behöver jag medfölja kort? Lucas: Good. Behöver jag medfölja kort? Luna: Behöver jag medfölja kort? Lucas: That means 'Do I need to bring the card?' Luna: Medfölja. Bring along. Yes, I get it. Lucas: Exactly. Let's try the whole sentence again. Luna: Behöver jag medfölja kort? Lucas: There you go. You did it. Luna: Wow. I never thought I would sound so smooth saying that. Lucas: Practice makes perfect. Remember our five phrases today. Luna: Let's review them quickly. Lucas: First: Var ligger närmaste bankomaten? Luna: Var ligger närmaste bankomaten? Lucas: Second: Jag har glömt mitt lösenord. Luna: Jag har glömt mitt lösenord. Lucas: Third: Vad kostar det att ha ett konto? Luna: Vad kostar det att ha ett konto? Lucas: Fourth: Behöver jag medfölja kort? Luna: Behöver jag medfölja kort? Lucas: And fifth: Jag vill öppna ett konto. Luna: Jag vill öppna ett konto. Lucas: That means 'I want to open an account.' Luna: I love that. It is so direct. Lucas: It is efficient.
