What inspired me to start learning Swedish?
Several years ago, I read this paper for no particular reason, and I absolutely fell in love with it. Itâs a story of language change, societal change, historical linguistics, socio-economics...so much.
Shortly thereafter, I came across this video about the Swedish Pitch Accent, which I also found fascinating.
And then life happened and I did a bunch of other language projects, but this past fall, I started a project about Scandinavian holiday traditions, and well, one thing led to another.
But I still love these two resources.
Also, if you didnât already know: JSTOR is offering 100 free articles per month through the end of 2020. More info here.
