Lesson 1 | Introduction

The first thing to do when learning a new language should be its alphabet. There are several special letters in the Swedish alphabet. Let’s go through our first lesson!

Swedish has some vocabulary similar to the English one, like mus for mouse or kung for king, but sometimes it is a bit tricky. Glass is not glass but ice cream, funny, isn't it?

Verb forms are normally constant, even if the person changes. That is what I like about it. I am, you are, he/she is would be jag är, du är, han/hon är. Generally speaking, Swedish is not that difficult to learn, so don’t be afraid of it. Let’s have a look at the Swedish alphabet.
