Introduction to Swedish

Studying Swedish is a wonderful way to gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating destination. It's also essential for those working with Swedish businesses or individuals who want to live outside of their home country. Despite a relatively small population, Sweden boasts one of the Europe's top ten economies, one that is notable for its robust export market. For these reasons, gaining fluency may prove hugely important for business representatives looking to trade with clients.

The benefits of speaking Swedish

Swedish is in the Northern Germanic family of languages, it is spoken by 10 million people. Unlike Latin or Slavic languages, which are both more of a challenge, Swedish is considered one of the easiest to get to grips with. Why not choose this language and put yourself in prime position to be the number one person at your firm to act as a representative when it comes to communicating with Swedish clients or delegates?
