>> If you speak German well is it easy to understand Swedish without prior knowledge of it?

It's not easy, but it helps a lot to understand the rough contents of simple written texts (in closely related languages like Dutch, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian)

"For me, an American who speaks Bavarian dialect and Standard German, I would say that "telefonieren" better translates in English as "use the telephone; place a call" and "anrufen" is the way we would say "to call someone" or "to make a call to someone". Ich rufe sie an = I call her (up). Ruf mich an! = "call me!". It's a subtle difference, but there is a distinction. I can think of few cases where "anrufen" couldn't be employed and be clearly understood, but "telefonieren" wouldn't work for a lot of standard situations, so if in doubt, especially as a learner, I'd recommend leaning heavily on "anrufen" until you get your sea legs under you and start to have some intuition for it.

Hope that helps. Glueck auf! "

Perfect explanation! Do you have connection to mining for using Glueck auf?
