What this course establishes

  • Exchange greetings and choose an appropriate address strategy without inventing a rigid formality rule

  • State non-understanding, request repetition, slower speech, or spelling, and confirm a key detail

Entry knowledge

  • No prior Swedish required
  • Ability to read or use an accessible alternative for short text

Scope boundaries

  • Introductory A1-oriented interaction only; not fluency, dialect mastery, interpretation, translation, Swedex or TISUS certification, immigration evidence, or professional-language qualification

Fastest competency route

No fluency or fastest-hour claim; acceleration depends on demonstrated listening, speaking, reading, writing, interaction, pronunciation awareness, and repair competence rather than isolated word recognition.

  1. Pass text, listening, pronunciation, address, word-order, and variation diagnostics after approved audio exists
  2. Complete greeting, introduction, and communication-repair performances
  3. Correct spelling, grammar, meaning, register, variation, and repair errors in a final portfolio

Full self-paced route

  1. Greetings, address, pronunciation, and variation lesson with qualified-speaker audio
  2. Identity and verb-second information lesson
  3. Requests and communication-repair lesson
  4. Interaction portfolio, feedback, revision, and final assessment

Listening and pronunciation scoring remain unavailable until qualified-speaker audio is approved.

  • Identity exchange covering name, origin, residence, languages, and occupation
  • Practical exchange containing non-understanding, a matched repair request, and confirmation
  • Line-by-line English functional meaning, verb-position annotation, and variety labels
