Objectives and content

  • Speaking skills: Communication is key. At the end of the course, you will be able to conduct conversations on simple everyday topics, using only simple sentences.
  • Listening skills: At the end of the course, you will be able to understand sentences that relate to your personal interests (work, hobbies, etc.). The class dialogues contain many audio fragments that will make you acquainted with Swedish.
  • Reading skills: Each class features brief dialogues or texts that will be read and consequently used for expanding your vocabulary or increasing your awareness of Swedish grammar. At the end of the course you will be able to find information from simple, everyday texts, such as advertisements or brochures.
  • Writing skills: The new structures and expressions will be applied in short and simple texts (writing a birthday card or a short note, filling out a form).
  • Specific grammar topics: preteritum, perfectum, the passive, relative clauses, future tenses, adverbs

Required prior knowledge

  • You already have limited prior knowledge of the Swedish language or you have passed the level 1 course.
  • You are capable of conducting a brief and simple conversation in Swedish.
  • You can for example introduce yourself, order something in a store or ask for directions.
  • Speaking Swedish is still hard for you, however. You only manage short sentences and your vocabulary is limited to very general topics.
  • You can understand people who speak slowly and clearly on a familiar topic.
  • You can read and write simple, short sentences.
  • When you use Swedish, you use the present tense and articles correctly.
  • You master basic Swedish grammar and can recognize certain grammar elements in a text (adjektivböjning, plural forms, etc.), but you feel insecure about using them correctly yourself.

Tests

There is a placement test and a final test.
