*NEW* E-book: Learning to learn
Learning a language is learning a skill. So what are the traits or qualities that you need to develop, in order to succeed? In this English E-book, I’ve gathered my perspectives from over 15 years of teaching Swedish.
I bust language learning myths, I outline what successful language learners are like, I explain how you can develop sustainable language learning habits, and I reveal what the Six Learner Characters are like (and what each character needs to be aware of when learning a language).
There are also useful tips for how to find time to self-study, what to focus on when learning the 4 core skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing), as well as an emergency grammar glossary for grammarphobes. (+ a bonus list of 59 cheesy, motivating phrases for when you feel low – they will put a smile on your face)

Anneli's famous book Complete Swedish
Do you want to learn Swedish by yourself? This is the course book you need.
The book covers levels A1 to early B2 (beginners to upper intermediate).
All the answers to the exercises are available in the back of the book, so you can check them yourself.
There is also free audio for this course. It’s available to download to the Teach Yourself Library app, or to stream via the Teach Yourself Library website.
You can use this book in your own, or as a complement to other courses (SFI, Folkuniversitetet, or lessons with a Swedish teacher).
It’s perfect if you’ve used Duolingo for a while, but find that you need more sentence structure and grammar.
Want to learn Swedish online?
Is this you?
“I want to learn Swedish online, or maybe do online courses…”
“I haven’t found any resources that give me a real foundation on how to actually put sentences together, because there’s so much out there and I feel overwhelmed…”
“I’d like to learn Swedish with a Swedish teacher, but I don’t want to sit in a group among other learners…”
Or maybe this is you?
“I want to learn Swedish but I don’t want to (or can’t) travel to a particular place at a particular time, so I keep putting it off…”
“I’m self-conscious and feel embarrassed when trying to speak Swedish, and as a result I don’t get enough practice; I would like help with pronunciation and confidence when speaking…”
“Swedish grammar is confusing to me, and I don’t even know what an adverb or a preposition is, and therefore I feel like I can’t learn it and don’t know where to start…”
How to learn Swedish online
You can learn Swedish, no matter your age and no matter where you live. Many believe it’s impossible to learn Swedish as an adult, or that you can’t learn unless you live in Sweden. It’s not true.
Technology = learn Swedish online
Firstly, with the help of technology you can learn Swedish online from anywhere in the world. Secondly, it’s never too late to learn a new language. One of our students only started learning Swedish in her 50’s and she’s now at the age of 60 publishing books in Swedish!
