Speaking is usually the #1 weakness for all Swedish learners. This is a common issue among language learners everywhere. The reason for this is obvious: When language learners first start learning a language, they usually start with reading. They read online articles, books, information on apps and so on.

So, if you spend most of your time reading instead of speaking, you might get better at reading but your speaking skills never grow. You get better at what you focus on. So if you want to improve you speaking skills, you need to spend more of your study time on speaking. Here are... Show more

Your language skills will not only allow you to dig into all the hidden gems of your destination, but they will also allow you to mingle with the... Show more
