Swedish Language

The FSI Swedish Basic course is one of the more recent FSI courses, first appearing in this form in 1982 as an update of an older version that was used back in the ‘50s. It was developed as a way to give US diplomats a solid grounding in the Swedish language before being sent to the country to work.

Like other FSI Basic courses, it consists of a wealth of learning materials, including dialogs that present new vocabulary and grammar, drills, and exercises for working on fluency and many hours of audio to help you master Swedish pronunciation.

Since Swedish is not such a common language for speakers of English to learn, you have fewer choices when it comes to study materials. For this reason, this free Swedish course is among the most comprehensive resources available for this language.
