All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and exams, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Swedish tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.
🔥 Why is Swedish not easy and are there ways to learn it more effectively?
Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Swedish. According to experts, you can gain basic Swedish fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand everyday sentences, speak on some level, shop and place orders in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Swedish. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Swedish tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.
🤷 How long does it take to master Swedish?
Some people seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Swedish will take at least 600 hours of practice. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your current level of Swedish or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, try typing using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Swedish out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Swedish classes online.
🤳 What are my options when choosing the Swedish coach?
In learning centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, always! The largest selection of tested Swedish tutors with full profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.
🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?
Colleges typically structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
