If you feel that the lack of fluency in Swedish is preventing you from achieving your goals, then our online Swedish courses are the right choice for you.
Like A Native is founded and run by Bojana and Natalia, certified Swedish teachers. Our expertise is grounded in a twenty-year teaching experience and substantial linguistic academic training, including Master’s studies in Swedish as a second language.
We help non-native speakers of Swedish improve their pronunciation and fluency QUICKLY and EFFECTIVELY so they can become confident Swedish speakers.
We have developed very effective language learning methods and strategies that have become an essential part of our teaching.
Our teaching method is also guided by our own personal success of mastering Swedish. Our mission is simple: help busy and motivated Swedish learners become fluent and confident speakers so they can finally enjoy their conversations in Swedish.
Our Unique Philosophy
Authenticity
Authenticity has to do with mastering real-life Swedish. Swedish used by real people in real-life situations. It has also to do with how easy it is for a non-native speaker to understand and be understood by Swedes.
Fluency
Fluency has to do with the ability to express yourself in Swedish spontaneously and with ease. In a conversation it means that you don’t stumble upon words and sentences because you’re unsure about the right pronunciation.
Confidence
Confidence means how comfortable you are in Swedish with native speakers, not necessarily about having “perfect, flawless Swedish. Real confidence comes from having effective strategies in language situations that non-native speakers usually find challenging.
Study Swedish with Leading Experts in Adult Language Teaching
You ALWAYS learn Swedish DIRECTLY from us and get full access to our expertise. Since both of us studied Swedish as a second language at a master’s level, we are very familiar with the major principles of foreign/second language teaching and learning.
In all of our Swedish courses, we combine the newest research, best teaching practices, and personal insights to craft the best learning experience for our students.
Our Swedish courses focus on fluency & real-life language use. This is why we also teach the important aspects of Swedish culture and communication style in our courses.
By focusing both on the Swedish language and cultural specificities, we are able to help our students achieve fluency in Swedish even faster.
What Our STUDENTS SAY
After 10 years in Sweden I was able to gain lots of passive knowledge of Swedish. I avoided talking Swedish even in simple outside job conversations, but was able to read emails or even simpler web articles. The focus on pronunciation was great! These lessons were a very effective way of filling my knowledge gaps - now I understand my work colleagues much better and can use Swedish in everyday conversations. Thank you!
Technical Manager, Canada
No one had been able to explain Swedish pronunciation to me in this way before. It is obvious that Bojana & Natalia have an academic understanding of the Swedish language, but are able to translate that into easily understandable lessons. I received a lot of support and encouragement, and at the same time I was challenged to do more than I thought I could. I cannot recommend Like A Native’s courses enough.
Midwife, Canada
No one has ever taught me Swedish pronunciation in this way before. My native language is Cantonese Chinese, which is quite different to Swedish. I finally received help on how to improve my Swedish pronunciation.
I also received effective tips and tricks on how to pronounce certain Swedish sounds as well as how to make my Swedish sound more ´´Swedish´´.
