Learning Swedish Like A Boss #1

So I know I promised to teach you some Swedish this weekend. Leadership is communication and communication includes languages. I wanted to this with a video blog, but for unforeseen reasons (my compu is making WEIRD noises when I use it for too long, especially with video and music stuff) I have to just give you the words as a list. I promise I will do my very best to make this video blog happen ASAP!

Me dressed up as 6th of June

Basic Swedish:
Hi – Hej
Goodbye – Hejdå
Yes – Ja
No – Nej
How are you? – Hur mår du?
Today – Idag
Tomorrow – Imorgon
Yesterday – Igår
I´m from (insert country) – Jag kommer från …
Happy Birthday! – Grattis på födelsedagen!
I´m (so-and-so). What is your name? – Jag heter (so-and-so), vad heter du?

I´m two peas in a pod with… – Jag är tjenis med…

Advanced Swedish:
