At this time of year there are so many lovely traditions in Sweden that we thought it was the ideal time to bring to you a bonus mini-series relating to culture. You can look forward to five episodes of this mini-series in between lessons 20 and 21 of our main Coffee Break Swedish course. The cultural texts will be in English with some Swedish words thrown in, so you’ll get to practise your pronunciation and build your vocabulary, while learning about some of the most important aspects of Swedish culture. Låt oss börja! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
