SUMMARY:Swedish Grammar Intensive: Advanced Verb with Rachel Willson-Broyles
DESCRIPTION:Do you love going down the rabbit hole of grammar? Or perhaps grammar confuses you\, but you want to understand it better. Join us! These three classes are built as standalones\, so you can take one\, two\, or all three. Each will introduce the grammar topic with examples and handouts\, and you can expect some in-class exercises and group work. Grammar terms will also be introduced and explained. Materials provided by the instructor. These classes are meant to supplement the nine-week language course and are appropriate for intermediate students and higher (i.e.\, your regular class is using the B1/B2 textbook). \nAdvanced Verb (this session)—This class will take a close look at some interesting forms of Swedish verbs\, including transitive-intransitive pairs (such as att sova-att söva) and why some verbs end in -s. \nPartikelverb och prepositioner—What is the difference between ”hälsa på” and ”hälsa på”? And what about ”påhälsning”? Let’s talk about phrasal verbs and prepositions! Prepositions are often among the most frustrating aspects of learning Swedish\, and this class will aim to demystify them and offer strategies for using them effectively. \nMorphology—In linguistics\, morphology is the study of words\, and there are so many intriguing aspects to explore about word-building in Swedish. In this class\, we will discuss compound words and their formation\, as well as prefixes (such as o-) and suffixes (such as -ig)\, and how they work. part of a series of three classes\, registration is separate for each class Advanced registration required.
