About this episode

This episode introduces listeners to forming longer sentences in Swedish, focusing on main and subordinate clauses.

Today, we’re going to talk about långa meningar, long sentences in Swedish. Or perhaps not LOOONG long, but longer than we have been working on so far. We will, of course, revisit this topic many times, but this is your first introduction to our main and subordinate clauses.
