Is Svenska App really free?

Yes. All 60 units, 733 exercises and 4 142 vocabulary words are free, with no ads, no card and no account. A paid tier may be added later for extra material; everything already in the course stays free.

What level of Swedish can I reach with Svenska App?

Svenska App covers CEFR levels from absolute beginner up to B1 (intermediate). You'll progress through Intro, A1, A1+, A2, and B1 sections with structured lessons and consolidation exams.

How is Svenska App different from Duolingo for learning Swedish?

Svenska App is built for one language and one audience: Swedish, for people who already live in Sweden. 4 142 words, an adaptive placement test, 13 exercise types including dictation, pronunciation and situational dialogue, spaced repetition, and a CEFR curriculum from zero to B1 — free, with no ads.

What exercise types does Svenska App offer?

13 interactive exercise types: multiple choice, translation, fill-in-the-blank, word order, matching, listening, dictation, pronunciation, situational dialogue, grammar drills, reading comprehension, conversation practice and theory lessons.

Can I use Svenska App on my phone?

Yes. Svenska App is a Progressive Web App (PWA). You can install it on your home screen on iOS, Android, or desktop for a native app experience — no app store needed.

CEFR target

You are not going all that way to live in English

You rehearse a sentence at the checkout, and the cashier answers in English before you finish it.
Your colleagues switch to English when you join — and switch back when you leave.
The letter from Skatteverket is in Swedish, and Google Translate is not going to explain it.
You land in a few weeks and your Swedish is still hej, tack and a hopeful smile.
Your SFI place is months away, and every month without Swedish is a month standing slightly outside your own life.

Nothing here is a lack of intelligence or effort. The apps you tried taught you to translate isolated words; nobody in Sweden speaks in isolated words. What closes the gap is short daily contact with the Swedish that is actually spoken around you — and a system that brings back what you are about to forget.

What ten minutes a day gets you

A CEFR-aligned course from zero to B1, written for adults with a job, a move to organise and no spare hours.

Starts where you actually are

A short adaptive placement test finds your real level in three minutes, so you don't spend week one on colours you already know.

The situations you meet this week

Ordering fika, the checkout, the doctor's reception, the office meeting, the parents' group chat. Dialogue exercises put you in the room.

Ear training from day one

Every word is spoken aloud. Dictation exercises make you write what you hear, and pronunciation exercises listen back to you.

13 exercise types, 760+ exercises

Multiple choice, translation, fill-in-the-blank, word order, matching, listening, dictation, pronunciation, dialogue, grammar drills, reading, conversation and theory.

You stop forgetting

Spaced repetition brings back the words you got wrong exactly when you are about to lose them, instead of when you feel like revising.

Built for ten minutes a day

Short lessons, streaks, daily quests and level exams — because the course you keep opening beats the course you meant to finish.

From "Hej" to reading the news — 60 units

Five sections aligned with the CEFR framework, each ending in a consolidation exam that replays what you got wrong.

Questions people ask before starting

Is Svenska App really free?: Yes. All 60 units, 760+ exercises and 4 100+ words are free today, with no ads, no card and no account. A paid tier may be added later for extra material — everything already in the course stays free.
Do I have to create an account?: No. Your progress is saved in your browser, on your device. Signing in with Google is optional and only exists to sync that progress between devices, and to unlock friends and challenges.
I haven't moved yet — is it worth starting now?: That is the best moment. The months before a move are the only ones where ten minutes a day costs you nothing, and arriving with the Intro section behind you changes the first weeks completely. The same applies if you are coming for a season rather than for good.
I'm waiting for an SFI place. Is this a replacement?: No — it's what you do while you wait, and alongside it once you start. SFI gives you a classroom and a teacher; Svenska App gives you daily repetition and the vocabulary you meet outside the classroom.
What level can I reach?: From absolute beginner to B1, the level most employers and further studies ask for. Five CEFR sections with a consolidation exam at the end of each.
How long does it take?: With 10–20 minutes a day, most learners get through the Intro section in a few weeks. B1 is a matter of months, not weeks — anyone promising otherwise is selling something.
Can I use it on my phone?: Yes. It's a Progressive Web App — add it to your home screen on iOS or Android and it behaves like an app, no app store needed.

Ten minutes on the way home is a lesson. Do that until spring and you will have finished the A1 section.

Ten minutes, starting now

Three questions and a short placement test, then your first lesson. Free, no account.

Start your first lesson

P.S. The hardest part is not the grammar — it is the month you spend waiting for the right moment to begin. Swedish that you practise for ten minutes today beats the intensive course you start next autumn.
