A compilation of resources for learning Swedish on my own
Raw
swedish_resources.md

Project: Swedish 2023

This is a compilation of tools I'll use while trying to learn Swedish - without going to formal classes. This is not a recommendation but more of a way to use what I had available from before.

Focus: READING

  1. Swedish dictionary for Kindle Since I already had a Kindle device.

  2. Paper books in "lättläst" I had from before: Kungsgatan, by Ivar-Lo Johansson. I treat as a working book, full of notes, meant to be consumed and likely not read by a second person. Bedetime reading.

  3. Lättlast nyheter: news in simplified Swedish.

  • https://8sidor.se/ Only text, there is a screen reader on each page, which is a bit robotic. Good for focusing on the reading and have time to translate, read about certain words. Not so good for the hearing practice.

Focus: LISTENING / SPEECH

  1. Nyheter på lätt svenska: https://www.svtplay.se/nyheter-pa-latt-svenska
  2. Radio Sverige på lättsvenska https://sverigesradio.se/radioswedenpalattsvenska

Focus: GRAMMAR

  1. Very good short articles (not only grammar) https://blogs.transparent.com/swedish/
