Listen to a two-minute excerpt from Foundation Swedish

Complete the full pathway to build your confidence and grow your mastery. If you are an absolute beginner, start with Foundation and progress at your own pace. A free, no obligation 20-minute lesson is available as a taster for every course.

Eleven hours of structured learning takes you from the basic building blocks of the Swedish language to creating your own sentences.
Listen as two students with no previous knowledge of the language are guided through the foundations of the language and join in as the third student in the class. Pause and respond when prompted to start to put your speaking skills into practice. The courses are unscripted: you hear the students’ real progression from absolute beginners to confident speakers – including their mistakes and the teacher’s corrections. You’ll learn in small, manageable steps, building your ability to produce ever more complicated sentences.
You will start with common and loan words, giving you a substantial starting vocabulary within your first hours of learning. By the end of the course, you will be confidently formulating sentences in the present, future and past tenses.
This course is taught by Roger Nyborg, according to the principles of the Michel Thomas method. Roger Nyborg has been teaching Swedish as a foreign and second language since 1969, both in Sweden and abroad, including for 25 years at Stockholm University. He has written several books for learning Swedish, both for beginners and more advanced students.

The Swedish language has around 9 million native speakers across the world. It is derived from Old Norse and is very similar to Danish and Norwegian. Many people say that if you learn Swedish, you are actually learning three languages at once. In fact, you probably already know more Swedish words than you think. Loanwords include moped, ombudsman, orienteering and tungsten!
