[SWE+ENG CC AVAILABLE] I think it's so important to HAVE FUN while studying and learning new things. So my absolute best tip when it comes to learning Swedish is doing things you enjoy. Even if it might not be the "correct" place to start or exactly on "your level." The best studying is the studying that takes place, whether it's ideal or not.

Sweden is somewhere that you can be as different as you like and not worry about taking any shit for it. Sweden is one of the world’s most progressive countries for LGBTQ+ rights and it’s supported by our society and law. So however you identify, there’s probably no better country in the world to be who you want to be, how you want to be.

I think this is the most complete one for the celebration. Enjoy!

Oh, did he concede?

In this video I want to show my progress in Italian after practicing every day for the last 9 months.

I still make a lot of mistakes and have a lot to learn, but I am happy to be already able to communicate. I want to motivate you to see that if you consistently do something every day you can improve a lot.

So brilliant. I am envious.

As with all the languages I’ve learned, my passion for the language, and all that surrounds it, was key to success in learning Mandarin. But lots of reading and listening helped me achieve my goals.

Wow, this video is very impressive and informative. I love those flashed pictures of China's historical figures.

John Heilemann, Mark McKinnon, and Alex Wagner from Showtime's "The Circus" join Stephen to talk about their experiences in the crowd outside the Capitol during the insurrection and how everyday life in Washington, D.C. has changed dramatically in the aftermath of the attack.

Don't mind the all upper cases. Listen to the late show that talks about the 911 liked event in the US history.

Gotcha!
"Did you eat yet" sounds like in China! LOL

While the president tries to shift blame for last week's insurrection, the FBI and Justice Department are making it clear that the terrorists involved will face very serious federal charges. Meanwhile, lawmakers in Washington and around the country are bracing for a second wave of right-wing violence.

Internal terrorists. What a mad world!

"Globalization is on its deathbed," says economist Mike O'Sullivan. The question now is: What's next? Tracing the historical successes and failures of globalization, O'Sullivan forecasts a new world order where countries come together over shared values rather than geography. Learn how big regional powers like the United States and China will be driven by distinct ways of governing trade, technology and people -- while smaller nations will forge new alliances to solve problems.
