Show Notes
Our normal Coffee Break Swedish lessons will return in the new year, but in the meantime it's the perfect time to find out a little more about Swedish culture with our mini-series, Kulturhörnan - "culture corner". In this episode Lovisa tells Mark about the tradition of placing an Adventsljsstake in your window in the run-up to the festive season. You can learn new Swedish words and practise your pronunciation with this lesson.
Season 1 of Coffee Break Swedish features a total of 40 lessons. Lesson 1-20 were published during 2021 and lessons 21-40 will be broadcast during 2021.
