Becoming Swenglish in Umeå

When I first started to learn Swedish I found everything went really well and really smoothly until I hit verbs.  At that point in my education it all unravelled, my confidence took a beating and I found it really hard to get my head around what to use when and how to recognise them.

Teachers used different words to mean the same thing, I was lost and confused and couldn’t work out my supinum from my infinitiv.  One day a teacher wrote a few words above the columns of verb tenses which showed when to use each and bang it all became clear.

I have put together a booklet which I hope will help people who are new to Swedish not hit the fences that I did and have a reference to help you through all the lingo.

You can download the booklet here.  It is in PDF and will open in a new window from which you can print off a copy or save it to your computer.  There is no charge or cost involved but any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated.  I apologise in advance if there are mistakes or errors, I have had my Swede check it over (tack älskling!) but we are only human and are not geniuses when it comes to grammar!

I hope this can help at least one person in their quest to learning Swedish as a second, third, fourth or even fifth language!

Enjoy and good luck!
