Coffee Break Swedish

by Coffee Break Languages

Learn Swedish with teacher Hanna and her student Mark. Each lesson is like going for a coffee (or a fika!) with your friend who happens to speak Swedish and is helping you learn in a relaxed, enjoyable way. Coffee Break Swedish is not a simple series of "listen and repeat" audio programmes: in each lesson Hanna explains how the language works, helping Mark - and you - to manipulate the language and use it in practical situations. As a learner Mark asks questions, and makes mistakes, so through Hanna's explanations, corrections and pronunciation tips you'll build your confidence and begin to understand and speak the language. You'll also build your cultural knowledge with the help of our cultural correspondent Emma who shares information on Swedish culture in many of the lessons. In the same time it takes you to sit down and enjoy a coffee in your favourite coffee shop, you can make progress with your Swedish. Our 15-20 minute lessons are perfect to keep you focused and let you develop your confidence in regular sessions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jag vill lära mig svenska, och det här är det bästa som finns. Perfekt för nybörjare speciellt! Fem stjärnor från mig!

Hiya~♡ · Aug 2023

I’m a newbie learner of Swedish and I find this podcast very helpful and entertaining. I like the conversational approach and the depth at which they cover a subject. This is much more helpful than the numerous 2-3 minute podcasts out there. Thank you for providing this great resource!

Svenskanonomous · May 2022

I am from the USA and I have been studying Swedish awhile now but I love listening to this podcast because I don’t get to hear Swedish out loud often and this helps me with listening and pronunciation. It’s informative and I love the hosts.

omdjt · Mar 2022

Very informative and engaging podcast. The hosts are very entertaining, and I have learned a lot of stuff that no world history class here in America has ever taught me. And as a learner of the Swedish language, the Swedish phrases at the beginning of each episode help me to learn more slang and idioms. Would definitely recommend to any history buffs, language learners, or general podcast listeners :)
