Are you trying to learn Swedish - but can’t find the right material?

We understand how difficult it is to find Swedish learning material. Finding the right teacher, books, or even peers to study with can be incredibly difficult, and we’ve been there before. There is a demand...but not enough supply. It can get frustrating.

Which is why we’ve created Swedish Short Stories for Beginners, a book made to ensure that young and old students at the entry level of learning can take advantage of a valuable opportunity in learning the Swedish tongue.

Twenty easy-listening, entertaining, and interesting stories await inside, along with the best tools to help you practice once you’re done listening to each tale. Our book will ensure you not only can understand something that will expand your knowledge on Swedish, but that you will be able to pick it apart piece by piece in your quest for learning.

How Swedish Short Stories for Beginners works:

• Each story will contain an important lesson of the tools and skills needed to learn the Swedish language (nouns, pronouns, future tense, traveling terms, and more), involving an interesting and entertaining story with realistic dialogues and day-to-day situations.
• The summaries follow: a synopsis in Swedish and in English of what you just heard, both to review the lesson and for you to see if you understood what the tale was about.
• At the end of those summaries, you’ll be provided with a list of the most relevant vocabulary involved in the lesson, as well as slang and sayings that you may not have understood at first glance!
• Finally, you’ll be provided with a set of tricky questions in Swedish, providing you with the chance to prove that you learned something in the story. Don’t worry if you don’t know the answer to any - we will provide them immediately after, but no cheating!

Do you think you can handle it? If the answer is yes, then you’re definitely on your way to becoming a fluent Swedish speaker, and we’ll certainly make that dream come true!

So look no further! Pick up your copy of Swedish Short Stories for Beginners, and start learning Swedish right now!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The best way to learn Swedish

"Swedish Short Stories for Beginners" is an essential tool for those who wish to visit Sweden, or even for those who want to take a first step in the language learning. Allows an increase in Swedish vocabulary and helps listeners to develop sentences. The stories are fun, allowing a quick and hassle-free learning.

Late beginner to early intermediate

Many of these titles promise you can jump in without any background but believing that pitch often leads to frustration.

Slowed down slightly, this would be a fun addition to build vocabulary and grammar skills quickly in a student who has studied some basics of Swedish spelling conventions, pronunciation, and has some grammar and vocabulary confidence.

Start in a rank beginner and you will have no clue what is being said, especially at full speed.

Sundberg is an excellent reader well suited to the material.

The greatest thing for me is the pdf that comes with it gives you the vocabulary lists and the stories. (Compare to the Olly Richards cash grab that requires the audio and ebook be purchased separately).

Swedish has three non-Latin letters, â, ö, and å and several other sounds based on compound consonants that do not exist in English. It’s important to learn about these to make the best use of audio material and increase written comprehension.

After you progress, audible has a surprising number of fiction titles including short stories which can be slowed down, and simple Swedish news sources online are always a good addition to your study, such as 8 SIDOR with its listen feature.

Nice and simple stories to get started

A superb way to get started on learning the Swedish language! Vocabulary words are the main tool in understanding a foreign language. This audible promotes learning by introducing words in a simple story which includes appendices for easy access, thus learning becomes a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Intermediate level

I love the book overall, but no way this is for beginners. You will need at least an A2 level to understand the stories in writing, and no less than B2 to understand the audio version. I'm glad because most Swedish texts are too basic and it is great to find something with this level of difficulty, but an absolute beginner will be completely lost.
