Vardag is translated as "workday," but does it have the same meaning as "weekday" in (American) English? I haven't tried the translation for fear of loosing a heart.

Both workday and weekday are accepted. En vardag is every day that is not Saturday, Sunday, or some kind of national holiday.

I am always trying things that I think they could also mean. Don't be afraid of losing a point - mistakes are the fastest way to learn.

Don't fear making errors, for it is thanks to them who one learns.

I love how the entire Swedish course pronounces things differently when words are clicked separately, as opposed to them being read in terms of the full sentence.

I would never say 'work day' unless I meant 'a day to do physical work'. I usually say 'business day'.

Where are you from? Canadians never say business day, we would always use weekday. Even "workday" as one word is odd.

Vardag, sound like a dog of Cratos, the god of war. "The dog of war of the god of war"

Is there a specific difference between weekday and workday? Would arbetsdag be able to translate to weekday as well?

"a day of the week" = vardag.
"a weekday" = vardag
Your translations need a bit of flexibility.

Is there a way to tell when a letter "g" in Swedish will sound like a "y" and when it will sound like a "g"?

I feel like I remember reading someone else's comment where they said that if the syllable is stressed, then the "g" tends to be pronounced more, but if it's in an unstressed syllable then the swedish have a tendency to just kind of skate over it without really pronouncing it as a hard "g". Could anyone confirm?
