Study foreign languages with confidence through tailored grammar lessons, voice recognition and a vast array of courses
Swedish is spoken by around 10 million people in Sweden and parts of Finland. It is a North Germanic language derived from Old Norse, which was once prevalent in parts of eastern England and western Scotland. Swedish is a tonal language which gives it a pleasant sing-song sound. When using the Babbel app, you’ll hear examples from native speakers, to get used to accent, pitch and tone. Swedish shares some vocabulary with German, however, it differs in grammar, pronunciation, and word order. Start with simple lessons and build your vocabulary. Work at your own pace and learn to listen, read, spell, and speak the language. Daily challenges will test your vocabulary and knowledge with word and sentence quizzes.
In the review section, you can also go over the words and phrases that you covered in each lesson. As you progress through the lessons, you will organically pick up vocabulary and grammar rules. By testing your pronunciation with Babbel’s voice recognition technology, you can rest assured that you are speaking correctly. Owing to specially-designed courses, you will start speaking Swedish from your very first lesson – which is absolutely free. You can also try out the first lesson of any of Babbel’s other 13 language courses for no charge whatsoever. All language lessons, including the Swedish courses, are taught in one of 9 base languages, including English, Polish, and Italian. All of the audio clips that you hear in the lessons are created by native Swedish speakers for an authentic sound and to ensure the correct pronunciation.
By copying the exact sounds of the words, you will be able to speak correctly without a hint of your own accent. Learning Swedish with Babbel is fun and casual; it never feels like a chore. You can visit your dashboard at any time and carry on from where you left off. It is a good idea to check in every day and review the vocabulary so that the lessons stay with you.
