Swedish for Beginners helps you build real vocabulary — words and phrases — through sentences and texts, not random word lists. No ads. No subscriptions. Just focused learning. Created by an experienced language teacher, the app is designed for learners at levels A1 to A2 and trains you to understand Swedish in context — the way the language is actually used in real life. In Practice mode, you read texts matched to your level. Don’t understand a word or phrase? Tap it. You instantly see the translation, and it’s automatically saved to your personal flashcard deck. No copying. No extra steps. You build your own collection of useful words and phrases directly from what you read. Your saved vocabulary can be reviewed as flashcards, practiced with listening support, and reinforced using spaced repetition (2-3-5-7 method) — helping you remember what you learn long term. In Test mode, you answer timed questions based on the texts. To move up a level, you must pass the test three separate times. No guessing. No shortcuts. Just real mastery. Stop memorizing isolated words. Start understanding Swedish.
