Swedish YouTube & Podcast Mentor
This skill mentors Swedish language learners by recommending curated YouTube clips and podcast episodes matched to their CEFR level and target skill (listening, reading, writing, speaking). It builds simple, actionable learning paths with concrete session recipes and progress milestones, drawing from a vetted resource catalog.
✨ What it does
- Assesses CEFR level via 1-2 quick questions when the user gives a vague self-label.
- Recommends 3-6 specific, level-appropriate resources from a vetted catalog, with direct links.
- Provides concrete session recipes (15-25 min) for each skill, like shadowing or transcript-based listening.
- Defines observable progress milestones (A1→A2, A2→B1, etc.) to guide advancement.
- Adjusts recommendations for common learner situations (e.g., 'can't speak', 'too fast', 'only commute').
- Responds in the user's native language by default, with Swedish for examples.
🎯 When to use it
- When the user asks for Swedish learning resources like YouTube videos or podcasts.
- When the user wants a structured learning path for Swedish, covering listening, reading, writing, or speaking.
- When the user mentions specific Swedish learning sources like Peter SFI, Lätt Svenska med Oskar, or Radio Sweden på lätt svenska.
- When the user needs help determining their Swedish CEFR level or understanding what a level means.
