Swedish Pronunciation Masterclass
You know some Swedish 🇸🇪, but every time you try to speak, a Swede hits you with a “Va?” 🤔 or simply switches to English? 😅
Pronunciation is your issue here. 😊 A topic that should be taught in every Swedish beginner course, but that is often forgotten 🙈.
Swedish pronunciation is a bit tricky 🙈🇸🇪.
You look at a word and you think you know how to say it. But in Swedish, it might sound very different.
From some letter combinations, to simple vowel sounds. Each small difference can make your pronunciation confusing for swedes 😱.
But don’t panic! 😁 There are very clear rules you can learn and follow, to have a clear Swedish pronunciation 😍.
And in this course, we go through ALL of them 🥳.
Once you put them into practice, you will be able to communicate in Swedish and people will stop switching to English! 😎
And if you master all the rules and do all the pronunciation exercises in this course, you will sound so Swedish people won't even know you are not from Sweden!
