When you hear the 'Swedish weather', are you thinking of the freezing cold? the warm Gulf Stream makes the climate much milder than you may expect. Spring, summer, fall (Autumn) and winter all have their own special personalities. Springs runs from March to May, summer from June to August, Autumn from September to November and Winter from the end of November to February. This lesson will cover grammar and vocabulary on the Swedish weather, seasons and sentences in regards to weather forecasting.

Sweden's weather can be different depending where you are situated. The country can be divided into three big regions Götaland in the south, Svealand in the centre and Norrland in the north. Below will be examples of different weathers.
Vad är det för väder idag? | How's the weather today |
solig (det är soligt) | sunny (it is sunny) |
regnig (det är regnigt) | rainy (it is rainy) |
mulet (det är molnigt) | cloudy (it is cloudy) |
snöig (det är snöigt) | snowy (it is snowy) |
klart (det är klart) | clear (it is clear) |
varmt (it is warm) | warm (it is warm) |
blåsigt (Det är blåsigt) | windy (it is windy) |
dimmigt (det är dimmigt) | foggy (it is foddy) |
isigt (det är isiga) | icy (it is foggy) |
In Swedish, 'it is' (det är) will always come before the weather. Now look outside your window and write down what is the weather like in Swedish!
In Sweden there is no such things like the ''official first day of spring''. This is not because the seasons are so brief, however it is because seasons are not noted on the calendar. You somehow feel the season when it arrives. In Sweden the seasons are determined in accordance to a consistent week temperature reading. People know it is Autumn when it has been below 10°C for at least a 7 days non stop. This means that the season has changed.
Seasons |
|
|
|
vinter | winter | på vintern | in winter |
vår | spring | på våren | in spring |
sommar | summer | på sommaren | in summer |
höst | autumn | på hösten | in autumn |
Now it's going to get more complicated, we will writte sentences with both seasons and the weather. Pay attention and look at the pattern to avoid confusion. i.e;
Hej, vad är vädret kommer att bli som i morgon eftermiddag?
Hey, what is the weather going to be like tomorrow afternoon?
vädret sa att det kommer att bli soligt?
The weather forecast said it will be sunny.
Tack!
Thank you
If you want to find out the weather, you would use the first dialogue as a template. You would just need to adapt the question to your needs in terms of the context. On the other hand in order to ask for the present weather you would say hur är vädret (what is the weather like).
The second template would only be used if you wanted to know if a certain weather would occur on the same day.
Is it going to rain tomorrow? Kommer det att regna i morgon? how about looking at the forecast for tomorrow write down and practise saying what your weather will be like tomorrow. Below is a youtube video on weather vocabulary with pronunciation. See you later!

Hello!
My name is Nora and I am born and raised in Sweden and have lived most of my life within Sweden. I love cats and my interests are reading books, swimming and travelling.
I have a bachelor in social work and have worked in both Swedish and English speaking environments. For instance as a school counselor in an English speaking high school and as an English teacher in Cape Town in South Africa for kids.
I am studying Spanish myself at the moment and I know how hard it can be in the beginning with a new language. I also know how much fun it can be when you start to actually be able to communicate in your new language. I believe every new language you learn is going to expand your way of thinking and make you grow!
I can offer both teaching for absolute beginners in Swedish, but also if you want to develop the language skills you already have. I offer a free trial lesson.
If you want to know more about me or the learning process, feel free to contact me!
Have a nice day!
/Nora

Great teacher, lovely person, smart and open minded. I also like the fact that he is aware of cultural differences and his methodology of teaching is actually so effective. I was very happy to have selected him, he did an amazing job! If you are looking for a teacher who knows exactly what you should know before the exam, I strongly recommended contacting Tapas. He will show you the ingredients needed to write a good essay, report and proposal and pay attention to the rules of constructing statements in specific parts required during the exam. I Highly recommend him if you are looking for....

My name is Matilde, I'm 31 years old and I come from Montpellier. I have been living abroad for almost 9 years.
I have a Bachelor degree in applied foreign languages (LEA) as well as a Master degree in FLE (French as a foreign language). My mother tongue is French but I also speak Portuguese and English fluently. I have been teaching French for 7 years and European Portuguese for 5 years. First of all I started to teach as a French lecturer at the University of Passau in Germany. During this first experience I had the opportunity to: giving class to plenty of students, preparing classes, being a part of the conception and evaluation of orale and written examinations.
After that I taught in a "VHS '' which is a German language center offering evening classes for adults and teenagers. Since the health crisis I have been giving French and Portuguese online lessons. At the same time, I became a language trainer at AFB-Línguas'', Lingoda" and "Yesnyou".
Since I am a good listener, dialogue and trust are essential points for me.
I like to vary the types of documents and work on several skills simultaneously in order to make it motivating. I will also emphasize oral expression because I think that a language is above all a tool for communication and sharing.
I am perfectly aware that daring to speak is not easy. That's the reason why I will kindly encourage you to express yourself. I will always make sure that you feel comfortable and not afraid to make mistakes.
Whatever your motivations are, I'm here to listen and guide you through your learning process. My goal is for you to enjoy the classes and gain confidence!
For all those reasons, do not hesitate to book a trial lesson with me! :)

Hey there,
Let me tell you quickly something about me and what I do.
I am a translator by training and a compulsive traveler by birth. I love cats and salsa music. English has always been my passion and I'm here to help other people feel confident when speaking, writing and working with this language.
My teaching method is a very personal mix made of tips and methods taken from different schools of thought, many first-hand experiences I have had in the field, all combined with my mission to help students overcome their fears and blocks when it comes to English.
In my classes you will have the advantage of feeling well looked after - my preparation in cultural and language studies allows me to listen to and understand the challenges students from different linguistic backgrounds face.
If this sounds like you, let's start working together.
With dedication,
Elisabetta

Hello and welcome!
I would love to help you improving your Danish speaking skills. I have been a teacher at coLanguage for more than three years now, but as a teacher in `the language music´ I have been working for several years. I have 25 years of experience as an organist in a church. I teach choirs for children and adults and I have been a piano teacher. I feel that my experience in teaching choirs and pianostudents and playing music is very fruitful for the way that I teach Danish. I have followed an intensive online Dutch course and as a student I think it works out very well. You are making progress very fast, because you speak a lot, and the teacher can take your speaking level as your starting point. I look forward getting to know you in a free trial lesson and to hear something about your wishes and your goals for studying the Danish language!
Best regards,

I happen to be a safety and security specialist for a major oil and gas exploration company and have also done my one year TEFL Diploma. I have been teaching English to students online as well as in classrooms primarily out of passion and love for teaching English and helping the students overcome their difficulties and lack of confidence/ motivation towards using English in their every day lives. My average rating happens to be 4.99/5 with 5 star reviews on English teaching websites such as www.engoo.com and https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/.
Despite being a non native English speaker; I happen to have native level proficiency in aspects of English language and am very passionate about helping students achieve their goals and aspirations in life via use of exclusive and result orientated lesson that have allowed me to achieve my level of skills in English Language. Lastly, owing to my diversified professional back ground, I also provide consultation services with regards to motivation and self improvement and help individuals gain self confidence and to think objectively.
