Swedish-speaking culture has given the world the plays of August Strindberg, the enchanting tales of the Moomins, the provocative films of Ingmar Bergman, the pioneering climate movement of Greta Thunberg and of course the music of ABBA. Beyond Sweden, where over 10 million people speak Swedish, the language is also one of the official languages of Finland and the sole official language of the autonomous archipelago of the Åland Islands. Swedish is also closely related to its Scandinavian neighbours, Norwegian and Danish, making it a key player in the Nordic region. Learning Swedish opens the door to understanding Scandinavian culture, connecting with millions of speakers, and exploring the rich history and progressive modern societies of Scandinavia.
