Why Learn Swedish?
One of the most widely spoken Germanic languages, Swedish is spoken by 10 million people as their first language, with an additional 3 million people using it as their second language. Swedish is the official language of Sweden, Finland, the Nordic Council, and the European Union. Modern Swedish has roots in the Old Norse language, which was spoken in the 8th through 15th centuries AD. Today, Swedish is spoken by more people in Scandinavia than any other language.

Why Choose Pimsleur for Swedish Lessons?
Speak Swedish with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Swedish. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Swedish language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
