- daily duolingo (i'm on a 434-day streak)
- reading a novel (den förlorade liljan) for pleasure
- reading and listening to easy news articles on 8 sidor and looking up unfamiliar words with the native dictionary and translation features on the site
- watching hundarna, a drama series on svt play, with swedish audio and swedish subtitles, with much pausing and explanation from my fiancé whenever i don't follow something
- watching love is blind, with english audio but swedish subtitles (this one is the most passive, but helps a lot to just increase exposure and also helps with what one would say in swedish in specific circumstances; this is how i learned the phrase "låta bli," which i had seen a lot while reading, but didn't know the specific way it's used)
- watching this interview with zara larsson in swedish (side note: i love her dress and kinda want to pin it on my pinterest). i haven't seen much of her but like her in a general sense, and got a video recommended on youtube of her talking about what makes her proud to be swedish. i noticed i liked her voice in swedish and wanted to hear a full conversation, so i found the aforementioned interview. i'm watching it without any subtitles to practice listening comprehension (she speaks very clearly, as opposed to the oft-mumbly or faster/less clear dialogue on hundarna)
- workin through form i fokus, a language workbook my fiancé got me for my birthday <3
