Questions
Which Swedish is this?
Sweden Swedish, the way colleagues talk in an office in Stockholm, English loans included where that’s what people say. Finland Swedish offices use a few different words, but you’ll be understood there too.
What level is it for?
A1 to B2. It starts with cancelling a meeting and finding the cake in the fikarum, and ends with the words of project meetings: scope, stakeholders, handovers.
Do I say du or ni to my boss?
Du. Swedish offices use du with everyone, the CEO included. Ni to one person sounds old fashioned, and some people hear it as cold.
Is the pack really free?
Yes. A free account keeps all 50 words in your deck, with audio, an example and a note on when to use each one. No card needed.
