Swedish is regularly ranked among the easiest languages for English speakers: the grammar is lean (verbs do not change by person — jag är, du är, vi är), word order feels familiar, and hundreds of words are near-identical to English. The decks above cover the vocabulary Swedes actually use daily — hej for hello, tack for thanks, the numbers, food and travel words. Two sounds deserve early practice: the Swedish "sj" (as in sju, seven) and the vowels å, ä, ö, which are separate letters at the end of the alphabet. Learn these essentials with spaced repetition and everyday Swedish text starts unlocking fast.

Read a deck below to preview every word, then sign up free to study it with spaced repetition — the method that schedules each card back right before you would forget it. Ten words a day is the sweet spot: enough to progress fast, small enough to sustain. For the method behind it, see our guide to learning a language with flashcards.
