Hi, my name is Björn Engdahl and I live in Stockholm, Sweden. I've seen a couple of homepages teaching a language, so I descided to make one on Swedish.

Swedish is spoken by approximately 9 million people in Sweden and some 300 000 in Finland. Written Swedish is quite similar to German and Dutch; Norwegians and Swedes understand each other perfectly.

What is difficult (at first) and characteristic with the Swedish language is the pronunciation. I therefore suggest you take a brief look at the Swedish pronunciation guide before starting with the lessons.

If you have any opinions, comments or whatever on this page, don't hesitate to email me at
