How the lesson starts
The opening of the lesson transcript. The rest is in the course, synced to the video.
So we're going to start today by describing some common household objects that you might find in your house. And like always we're going to try to see if we can find similarities between English and Swedish. And luckily, or to our benefit, there are many such similarities. Like the ones you see here: the radio which is radio, soffa, lampa. These are of course very similar in English and we can try to use this to our benefit.
So for example en soffa, that would be a sofa. En lampa, en lampa is of course a lamp. TV is TV as well. How do you pronounce that?
Tv, tv. En laptop.
Dator would be computer, dator. The laptop you could say laptop.
