This course is for learners wanting some more guidance and practice with Swedish word order. You'll be given bitesize mini-lectures on 2 essential rules of Swedish word order before completing grammatical tasks in small groups and receiving corrective feedback.
What will we cover?
- the V2 rule in Swedish: this fundamental rule controls the placement of Swedish finite verbs in all sentences.
- the BIFF rule: this rule, introduced in beginner: module 3 and Level 2 courses at City Lit, controls the placement of adverbs (such as INTE, ALLTID, ALDRIG) in subclauses such as: Lars sa att han inte bor i Stockholm.
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
- understand the underlying essential rules controlling word order in Swedish - confidently identify errors in basic word order and correct them - understand basic grammatical terminology such as finite verb, adverb, main clause and subclause.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
You should be actively studying Swedish on either a Beginner or Level 2 course (or have equivalent experience). Learners on this course will ideally come with some frustrations regarding word order that have arisen through their use of the language in either classroom or real-world situations.
The course doesn't assume any prior knowledge of grammar. All terms will be clearly explained with simple examples. Use will also be make of visual representations of rules and colour-coding to help you identify and analyse Swedish sentences.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
- bitesize mini-lectures - visual representations and aids - small group work - quizzes
After the session you will be given access to a bank of digital resources to help you continue your learning beyond the session.
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?
City Lit offers a variety of online and in-person Swedish classes, reading groups and workshops at all levels.
Welsh/Swedish: Raised in the Welsh-speaking heartland of north Pembrokeshire, Jack has taught Welsh to adults since 2017 in London, Cardiff and online. He has a particular interest in using phonetic approaches to improve learners’ pronunciation and teaches interactive pronunciation workshops. A keen language learner, Jack began studying Swedish at City Lit and quickly became obsessed by this fascinating Germanic language. He holds an advanced certificate in Swedish from Folkuniversitetet (Göteborg) and coordinates Scandinavian language courses at City Lit. As a tutor on workshops and beginner level courses, Jack enjoys helping learners to overcome the challenges that he himself faced as a learner. Sociolinguistics: Jack completed his PhD at Ysgol y Gymraeg (Cardiff University) in 2023, where he researched how linguistic backgrounds of adult learners of Welsh affect their pronunciation. Jack teaches introductory courses on language policy and attitudes in Sweden, the history of the Welsh language, and the pragmatics of politeness. He brings theoretical insight to help learners understand how language is viewed, used and changed.
