Learn Swedish from Native Speakers

Learn Swedish Pronunciation

The first twelve units consist of dialogs which cover a range of situations relevant to your Life and work in sweden. The last few units are written in a narrative form and constitute a transition to further reading.

Each unit includes "Notes on Basic Sentences," which clarify certain grammar points, cultural information and idiomatic expressions that we think are particularly important.

Grammatical explanation should be thought of only as a tool when learning a foreign language. But it is the key to understanding a structure and a system which might otherwise seem confusing. Even though Swedish grammar and vocabulary are related to their English counterparts, a word-by-word translation from either language into the other does not neoessarily produoe good sense. Beoause of important differenoes in ways we have of expressing the same thoughts~ speakers of English and Swedish see each other as using different patterns of language. It is therefore invaluable to learn Swedish patterns to the point where they become a real part of your speech, so that the difference between English and Swedish becomes natural to you.
