What you will work on
| Area | Course focus | How to prepare between lessons |
|---|---|---|
| Reading | Longer sentences, narrative and factual texts, instructions, tables and diagrams. | Read a short passage, identify the main point and note unfamiliar words in context. |
| Vocabulary | Everyday and developing intermediate vocabulary about events, traditions, culture and stories. | Use new words in a few sentences about your own experience. |
| Verb forms | Recognising and practising common verbs in different tenses. | Compare how the same event is described in the present and past. |
| Sentence structure | Word order, main and subordinate clauses, and combining ideas into longer sentences. | Rewrite a short sentence with a time expression at the beginning. |
| Listening and pronunciation | Listening practice and noticing how written Swedish is pronounced. | Replay a short recording and repeat it aloud. |
These are learning goals and suggested practice activities. Your progress depends on your starting point, participation and independent study.
