As far as I know it's filmed in Ystad, but Johanna is from Stockholm right? ...anyway, will it be a good buy to learn the 'proper' Swedish accent? Tack. Hej Anna,

I've seen similar situations at the university here in my town. Students from southern Sweden sometimes resort to speaking English, so the rest of us can understand them. But it's not just Skåne that has a funky accent. Jämtland is no better (or maybe even worse) ;) When it comes to "sk" I'd say that the majority of Swedes pronounce it as "sh" these days, at least where I live. In the past 5 years I have not seen one person under the age of 30 who would still pronounce it the hard way - you know, the way that's unpronounceable for foreigners. :) Hi Nick!

I started to learn Swedish about 10 years back but only managed a few years so I'm very rusty now, but one funny story I remember from that class was that one of the guys there was married to a girl from Skåna, and they had just come back from a holiday in Stockholm. Apparently, the girl had tried to order a hot-dog from one of the many hot-dog stands, and the guy inside couldn't understand a word of her Swedish, and as a result, she, a native Swede, had to order it in English! I never really believed the story at the time but maybe it is true after all :-) Little question - my tacher was from Göteborg so she promounced the Swedish 'sk' the same as the English 'sh' i.e. 'skepp' was pronounced 'shep,' rather than the usual Swedish sound for this... I was wondering what version the people from Skåna use, as to an English person's ears I'm afraid to tell you that the 'soft' Göteborg version is so much easier for us :-) Goddag!
