This was at least one generation of the software ago, so I don't know what it is like now, but one of the problems was that Swedish wasn't a primary language for Rosetta Stone and therefore, you got some basic vocabulary (pen, dog, cat, boy, girl, walk, dance), but didn't get to the meat that was interesting.<br /><br />My approach has been to focus on reading first and move on to radio and television (although the latter is a little harder since I've been too lazy to find a proxy so I can use svtplay.se outside of sweden). I've always enjoyed world news, so it was fortunate to find a simplified swedish news site that allowed me to get starting and work on improving my vocabulary until I could move up to more mainstream sites (and blogs). I've also done similar things with podcasts.<br /><br />I contrast this with the four+ years of German I had in highschool/college where I managed to maintain only a little that was initially helpful when learning Swedish. The big difference is that the Internet makes using the language regularly much easier.<br /><br />Enjoy your bollywood!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14170148559429001125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027537040494528108.post-90993164290747903702012-01-28T05:35:36.001-08:002012-01-28T05:35:36.001-08:00Thank you for your post, and I agree with you. लड़...Thank you for your post, and I agree with you. लड़का is definitely the word for boy, yet that is not what the software displays. They have लडका , which is not the same. I shall also check out the link you submitted.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282555416683865874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027537040494528108.post-21201389858594028832012-01-28T00:09:36.654-08:002012-01-28T00:09:36.654-08:00Nice blog and nice to see someone make an effort l...Nice blog and nice to see someone make an effort learning Hindi. I hate to be that guy but लड़का is the correct word for boy. And the other words पढ़ and दौड़ are valid Hindi words meaning study and run respectively.<br /><br />Also Hindi uses many Loan words taken from English. Sandwich, pen, coffee are used as is in Hindi.<br /><br />Perhaps participating in an online forum like http://www.unilang.org/viewforum.php?f=71 will accelerate the learning process for you.Sandeep Dattahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463393731468962621noreply@blogger.com
