🤷 How long does it take to master Swedish?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Swedish will demand at least 600 hours of study. The required duration of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of Swedish or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Swedish out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Swedish classes online.

Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
