   Absolutely I think more interesting language quirks and grammatical points would be interesting. I know others like the cultural stuff but that’s usually the type of blog post I don’t end up reading, but being able to click into it and come out at the other end knowing a piece of information to use or recognise when dealing with Swedish is definitely a good feeling and one I hope will happen to me more as I continue to see your FB uploads. I noticed a big lack of the grammatical stuff in the last part of 2011, so would be nice to see more in 2012!

   I am involved in “many things Swedish,” and this blog is where I “play” in the realm of the Swedish language – so, I’m rather inclined to agree with Alex! There are many, many sites for the “other stuff,” which I frequent often. I am a second-generation-born American/Swede involved with the Vasa Order of America and Swedish radio. My language skills, or lack thereof, are what I subscribe to this blog for.

   For a language teaching blog, I think it should have a linguistic topic at the core of each post.
   It’s not hard to achieve as at the core of each writing is the language. So even the author is thinking of to introduce a yummy Swedish recipe, the reader can pick up some name of the ingredients in Swedish from the post. However to systematically cover a broad, if not all, linguistic topics, say, over a year, it requires good team work and some planning, but I think you guys can do it 😉

   For me it is definitely more about the language posts. Vocabulary, grammar, proper syntax, you name it! I’ve been learning Swedish for a few months now and feel like when I write and translate some expressions directly from English into Swedish, they sometimes don’t come out right; the particularities of the language are very important to know. More slang would also be very appreciated since I hear it all the time when watching Swedish movies and abbreviation descriptions I would like as well since I see them quite often when reading. My last request is more of a general one; could you include a “go to the beginning of posts button”? Or is there possibly a way to do this that I have not noticed?

   I really like the modern life / work life posts. As far as working on my Swedish, I like the:
   -Pronunciation

   -Everyday use, Slang

   Thanks for soliciting feedback! This has helped me tremendously with my Swedish.

   Ok, I’m interested in :

   Cultural topics:
   -Literature,
   -Film
   -Music
   -Modern Society/Everyday life (living in Sweden)
   -Humor

   Political topics, Royal family

   Environmental, Climate related topics

   History

   Cuisine related topics:
   -Recipes

   Linguistic related topics:
   -Grammar, Sentence structure: all of them.

   I think you have enough grammar; ONLY grammar would be too much and the culture is important too. Now if there is something we should pay attention to, yes, of course.

   Like most, I think bite-sized lessons with a mind towards people who simply want to start USING Swedish, not who want to pass a comprehensive grammar test, is the best thing you guys can do. And you can continue to do this for both beginners and advanced.
   Having said, I don’t want you to stop the cultural bits, either!
   I love the youtube videos, as I MOST need practice LISTENING to Swedish. Right now I’m thinking maybe a video about going to a restaurant and hanging out, and the vocabulary and phrases we might need there.
