A lot of SVT is available with no VPN. It also has apps, so I tend to watch it on an Apple TV.
I second comic books, though the Swedish tends to be super colloquial and you will get stuff like "dig" rendered as "dej" (which is how it is generally pronounced, but not how it is formally written.) Kalle Anka is always the classic go to for Swedish learners.
NRK on the other hand actively tries to block everyone, which makes Norwegian a lot less accessible.
- cess11 2y agoFor those with VPN, here's SVT: https://www.svtplay.se/ https://www.svtplay.se/ Swedish public service television also has an educational branch, which is here: https://urplay.se/ https://urplay.se/ I use comic books to teach my kids to read, I agree it ought to be a good option for foreign adults too. On SVT I'd recommend Landet runt (Around the country), it shows a lot of feelgood stories from local news and is aimed at a broad audience, including kids and the elderly: https://www.svtplay.se/landet-runt https://www.svtplay.se/landet-runt There's also a news program for kids I think could be a good option to learn from: https://www.svtplay.se/lilla-aktuellt-och-lilla-aktuellt-skola https://www.svtplay.se/lilla-aktuellt-och-lilla-aktuellt-sko... While I don't watch any of them myself, perhaps competition programs might work too: https://www.svtplay.se/lista/svtId_jQ7LrRQ/tavlingsprogram https://www.svtplay.se/lista/svtId_jQ7LrRQ/tavlingsprogram
- memsom 2y agoSVT Play (app or web) is a very good resource, and it is mostly subtitled in Swedish, which helps a lot. From the UK (at any rate) it is pretty rare to find many of the shows with georestructions, I do not find many. It is worth trying it without a VPN first, as you might be able to save money. As I mentioned above, NRK is not so great. Most of the content is geoblocked, and you need a norwegian digital ID to watch it outside of Norway (or at least, Skandinavia) without a VPN. They also regularly block VPN's, so as an example, Tunnelbear used to be fine (and gives a fairly generous free tier if you play the "invite friends and do some tasks" game), but last time I tried, it was no longer working with the NRK TV app.
- yeyeyeyeyeyeyee 2y agoThere is also a short news episode for adults, but in easy Swedish. Nyheter på lätt svenska: https://www.svtplay.se/nyheter-pa-latt-svenska https://www.svtplay.se/nyheter-pa-latt-svenska
