What is the course about?
This structured workshop will provide a review of some essential Swedish grammar covered at beginner level.
What will we cover?
We will look at:
- word-order in simple and complex sentences (aka the V2 and BIFF rules)
- noun class and adjectives (e.g. ett gammalt hus, det gamla huset, en gammal stad)
- singular and plural nouns (e.g. hus, huset, husen)
- choosing between infinitive (att arbeta) and present tense forms (arbetar)
- choosing between different forms of the past tense.
What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...
- confidently identify parts of speech in Swedish (such as verbs, adverbs, pronouns and nouns)
- identify which areas of basic grammar you need to continue working on and which you've mastered
- conjugate regular verbs with increased accuracy
- decline adjectives with increased accuracy
- identify and correct errors in word-order
- confidently change a statement into a question.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
This course is suitable if you have completed Swedish Beginners modules 1, 2 and 3 or have equivalent experience (i.e. have been actively studying Swedish for approximately 1 year).
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
Short, accessible grammar demonstrations followed by group work and informal quizzes.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
Based on tutor's own material.
When I've finished, what course can I do next?
