Worst Swedish I've ever heard, Period.


Thats garbage swedish, its X-Files Død kalm level bad, only this is supposed to be Swedish, Død kalm was supposed to be Norwegian, the Swedish Chef sounds more swedish then the actors In Season 2 did, and he doesn't sound Swedish at all, I laughed out loud at this attemt at Swedish.

I thought some of the Southern, as in Southern United States was bad too. Such a good show despite that!

reply

I agree, the show is awesome nonetheless.

reply

That's unfortunate.

reply

Um...How many people worldwide will notice this?

reply

Maybe that's why I've pointed it out, Duh, but since you ask I guess about 27.36 million people might notice, granted not all of them will watch the show, but you asked so, enjoy your day.

Even I, as an occasional listner of Swedish, but not a knower of Swedish in any capasity could tell that it wasn't that good lol.

That being said, I think that by now all of us non English speakers should be used to our American friends butchering any foreign language they portray in media.

Languages and accents are SO difficult to master, especially Asian languages in particular which have a musical quality that most of us with Latin language roots can’t even hear! Swedish is one of the lesser known I don’t bash anyone who tries because in America we have so many that can barely speak English but damn, I appreciate the effort! I can’t think of many things harder to learn than a foreign language.

Lol, if only you knew what Russian sounds like in American movies. 😄

I stopped caring long ago.

Although occasionally some actors surprise me, like Keanu Reeves in John Wick - his Russian pronunciation is actually understandable. Tom Cruise's was also pretty good in Ghost Protocol.

I was thinking the same thing. Whoever taught them.... didn't. The gramma, the pronunciation, the sentence structure... awful. Google translate when it doesn't work.

reply

Well, you and the 3 other people that know will probably be really bothered by it.

reply

I was bothered it and I don't even speak Swedish.

reply

Ok, so there are 2 more out there somewhere. I appreciate you coming forward as one of the 3. Small world and all that.
