Hej alla

For professional reasons I need to learn swedish. I have a very ambitious target, about B1-B2 in 3-4 months top, hoping that my knowledge of English, and basic knowledge of German will help in the effort. I will study all day.
I've already seen that the biggest challenge will be the pronunciation, which I knew already, but now that I am actually studying looks a lot harder than what I was anticipating.

1 - What I wanted to ask from Swedish natives is if 8sidor's reader is from a particular region and if he has a good pronunciation. I am assuming that, but I want to be sure.
http://www.8sidor.se

2 - Do you have any suggestions for getting a good pronunciation? And how perfect must that be in order for you to be understandable and not annoying?

3 - Do you know any websites for exchange on Skype?

Tack så mycket, ock jag är ledsen om jag skriver i fel forum

1 I just listened to some samples, and it was of course artifical, yet reasonably "standard" - not that different from the accent of a random newsreader on Aktuellt or Rapport (or Sveriges Radio).

2 It's hard to tell before having heard your Swedish. Some speak with a thick but understandable accent, some never grasp the pitch accents, the long vowels, the different ways to say sk/stj/sj/ch...

3 No ideas.

Det räcker om du uttalar tydligt och klart, men du får absolut göra skillnaden mellan de
flesta ljud som finns i svenskan. Folk som är inte infödda bryter alltid (eller nästan
alltid), du får inte vara rädd att du kanske gör fel - det är vanligt.

Om du vill hitta nån svensk, är det förmodligen bäst att du går till iTalki, Interpals,
eller nåt sådant och tar reda på vem du kan ha utbyte med. Det finns inte så många
möjligheter här.

Kan jag påminna folk att det krävs att skriva på ett skandinaviskt språk i den här delen
av forumet?

Just det, det tänkte jag inte ens på! Här kommer mitt svar igen (på svenska):

1 Jag lyssnade just på några korta snuttar, och det låter förstås artificiellt men ändå tillräckligt standardmässigt, inte så långt olikt accenten hos nyhetsuppläsare.

2 Svårt att äsga utan att ha hört din svenska. En del talar med stark brytning men blir ändå förstådda, andra snappar aldrig upp tryckaccenter, långa vokaler, våra olika sätt att uttala sk/stj/sj/ch...

3 Ingen aning (men tarvos har gett bra tips).
