Swedish Flashcards to your assistance

Hi All,

I found this wonderful Swedish Flashcards website. I have just signed up for a basic account and daily they send me a newsletter with a new sentence and words to learn. I find it really useful and love the simple structure they follow for explaining the sentence.

Hope this helps you all as well.

Please check the website for more details - Swedish Flashcards

Have fun learning.

Swedish grammar / word clarification

Hi All,

I am not going to log everything to do with grammar, not because it is not important but as I do not know much about it. So, I am adding the link to The Swedish Teacher's blog where she clarifies few mysteries around Swedish grammar or words. Also, she welcomes questions and answers them through blog, so feel free to send her questions.

Link here to the blog

Hope you find this useful.
Cheers

English to Swedish translator

1. You can use the google translator
http://translate.google.com/

The two advantage of this is:
i. Provides you with a Swedish keyboard to type in Swedish characters
ii. You can hear the pronunciation of the words / letters you have typed and hence can use it as a listening tool as well instead of just a translator

Or you can use this wonderful tool which replies you back in Swedish when you type in English.
2. Bot google translator

They are not always perfect but they serve the purpose.

Have a great time
