About

Svenska

Read full description

Swedish built for people who moved to Sweden and have to learn the language properly — for SFI, for work, for talking to a neighbor. WHAT IS INSIDE • 15,256 words and phrases, ordered by the Språkbanken corpus rather than by an author's intuition • 350 texts from A1 to C1 — tap any word to see what it means • 85 grammar rules, each with an explanation and drills • The alphabet and pronunciation from zero: the sj-sound, the tj-sound, length, the two tones • 50 dialogues: the checkout, the clinic, the neighbor, the interview • Ear training on minimal pairs: glas / glass, vit / vitt HOW IT WORKS Spaced repetition shows a word exactly when you are about to forget it. Gender (en / ett) is learned with the word, not from a separate list. Examples are spoken by the system voice. WALK MODE Start it and put the phone in your pocket. The word, a pause to remember it, the meaning, the word again. Works with the screen locked. NO INTERNET, NO ACCOUNT Everything lives on the device. No sign-up, no ads. Your progress is never uploaded. Anonymous usage statistics help us fix what breaks; one switch in the app turns them off. FREE 20 new words a day, unlimited reviews and the first texts — forever, with no trial period. SVENSKA PRO Removes the daily limit and opens every text, every grammar drill, the placement test and your personal path. The interface is available in Ukrainian, English and Finnish — those three languages and no others.
