Transcript
- Lucas: Välkommen tillbaka! Welcome back to Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. So glad to be here. So what are we diving into today? Lucas: Today we're going to learn something you use all the time — the months of the year. Luna: Oh, perfect. I've been wanting to talk about dates and seasons. Okay, hit me with the first one. Lucas: Let's start with 'januari'. Januari. Luna: Januari. That's January, right? Lucas: Exactly. Januari. Next is 'februari'. Luna: Februari. That one's pretty close to English. Lucas: Yes, many months are similar. Then 'mars'. Luna: Mars. Like the planet. Lucas: Right. And 'april'. Luna: April. Easy. Lucas: Then 'maj'. Luna: Maj. That's May, with a J. Lucas: Yes. Then 'juni'. Luna: Juni. Lucas: And 'juli'. Luna: Juli. Lucas: Then 'augusti'. Luna: Augusti. Lucas: Then 'september'. Luna: September. That one's identical. Lucas: Then 'oktober'. Luna: Oktober. Lucas: Then 'november'. Luna: November. Lucas: And finally, 'december'. Luna: December. Okay, let me try the whole list. Januari, februari, mars, april, maj, juni, juli, augusti, september, oktober, november, december. Lucas: Fantastic. You really nailed that. Luna: I love that they are so similar. But I need to practice the pronunciation a bit. Lucas: Let's do a quick practice. I'll say the month, you repeat. Januari. Luna: Januari. Lucas: Februari. Luna: Februari. Lucas: Mars. Luna: Mars. Lucas: April. Luna: April. Lucas: Maj. Luna: Maj. Lucas: Juni. Luna: Juni. Lucas: Juli. Luna: Juli. Lucas: Augusti. Luna: Augusti. Lucas: September. Luna: September. Lucas: Oktober. Luna: Oktober. Lucas: November. Luna: November. Lucas: December. Luna: December. Good. So now I can say when my birthday is: 'Min födelsedag är i mars.' Lucas: Exactly. And you can ask someone: 'När har du födelsedag?' When is your birthday? Luna: När har du födelsedag? And I can answer: 'Jag har födelsedag i augusti.' Lucas: Perfect. Let's practice a short dialogue. I'll ask you: 'När har du födelsedag?' Luna: Jag har födelsedag i juni. Lucas: Åh, juni! Nice. And I'll say: 'Min födelsedag är i december.' Luna: December! So you have a winter birthday. Cool. Lucas: Yes. And now let's use the months in a little story. Imagine we're planning a trip. 'I januari åker vi till fjällen.' In January we go to the mountains. Luna: I januari åker vi till fjällen. That's a good phrase. Lucas: Then 'I juli åker vi till stranden.' In July we go to the beach. Luna: I juli åker vi till stranden. I love that. Lucas: And 'I oktober åker vi till skogen.' In October we go to the forest. Luna: I oktober åker vi till skogen. That sounds lovely. Lucas: So you can see how the months fit into sentences. Now, let's practice the months one more time, but this time I'll say the English and you say the Swedish. Luna: Okay, challenge accepted. Lucas: January. Luna: Januari. Lucas: February. Luna: Februari. Lucas: March. Luna: Mars. Lucas: April. Luna: April. Lucas: May. Luna: Maj. Lucas: June. Luna: Juni. Lucas: July. Luna: Juli. Lucas: August. Luna: Augusti. Lucas: September. Luna: September. Lucas: October. Luna: Oktober. Lucas: November. Luna: November. Lucas: December. Luna: December. That was fun. And I feel like I have them down. Lucas: Great job. You should be proud. Luna: Thanks to you and Fexingo. So to wrap up, let's go through the months one final time. Lucas: Sure. Januari, februari, mars, april, maj, juni, juli, augusti, september, oktober, november, december. Luna: Januari, februari, mars, april, maj, juni, juli, augusti, september, oktober, november, december. I got it! Lucas: You did. And that's all for today's episode. Keep practicing, and use these months to talk about your plans or birthdays. Luna: Tack så mycket for listening. See you next time on Learn Swedish with Fexingo! Lucas: Hej då!
