All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and tests, so research those 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 intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.
🔥 Why is Swedish not easy and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand most phrases, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and easy 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 speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of 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 demand at least 600 hours of study. The required duration of time can differ a lot depending on your already acquired level of Swedish or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try other 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.
🤳 Can I pick my own Swedish coach?
In language centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, certainly! The largest selection of verified Swedish tutors with video profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
