Here, we list a few ways to learn Swedish in the best way possible.
Establish good routines
Having good routines for language learning is key to success. You need to make it a daily habit to study Swedish.
- Set aside a specific time each day, e.g. 15 minutes, to practice Swedish.
- Switch certain apps to use Swedish as the language to force yourself to read and understand Swedish.
- Read a lot: books, internet articles, or watch movies and TV shows with Swedish subtitles.
- Speak Swedish as soon as you get the chance. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, the most important thing is to dare and not be afraid of making mistakes.
Do it yourself
You can learn Swedish at your own pace and as much as you can handle by creating your own activities to practice the language.
- Use books. Good books to start with are "Svenska så klart", "Gå till...", and the SFI book. Otherwise, children's books and easy-to-read non-fiction books are also good for learning.
- Use apps. There are many apps to help you practice Swedish, such as "SVT Språkplay", "Språkkraft Läscoach", and "Duolingo" (paid app).
- Use generative AI: ChatGPT, Google Gemini. These AI tools can guide you in learning Swedish. Create an agent that acts as a Swedish teacher and instruct the agent.
- Join a group where Swedish is spoken, such as a sports team, hobby course, or adult education course.
