Welcome to my Swedish language page.
Learning Swedish as a method of communication is not important (all Swedes under 95 years old can speak fluent English).
Learning Swedish is only useful for eavesdropping on Swedish people when they think you can't understand what you're saying.
However if you learn these simple words and phrases your simple knowledge of Swedish will astonish Swedes and endear to you them.
