I realize it may not be very helpful to ask native speakers how to learn their language, but figured I'd give it a try.

I'm trying to learn grammar, in addition to words.

Day 2, and I've learned about 30 or so words, but all the exercises of using them are just fill in the blank, so they change depending on part of speech, and I have no idea how. Example: drycken vs drycker. I gather drycker is plural, but is Swedish as weird as english when it comes to making plurals? Most times you add an "s" but not always?

So basically the most important things I've learned are that Swedes love kaffet (please correct me if that's the wrong part of speech), and that if when I go to Sweden I should cautiously approach people and say Fika.

Oh yeah, and I had a hell of a time figuring out how "å" sounds. I was told to try to make a short "a" sound but with my mouth shaped like I'm saying "o". I've improved a lot even with just 2 days.

Any suggestions are welcome. If you learned it while not living there, what did you use, and just looking at Amazon, what books would be most helpful?

So far it doesn't seem extremely difficult, coming from another Germanic language. Sentence structure appears the same, and words are recognizable.

Tack, hej då!
