About this episode

In Episode 7 of our Swedish culture mini-series, Kulturhörnan - "culture corner" - we're learning about writer Astrid Lingdgren, best known for her children's book series featuring Pippi Longstocking. Join Mark and Lovisa as they share a text about this famous Swedish writer and introduce new phrases, revise some more familiar vocabulary, and mention some slightly more advanced grammar.


Season 1 of Coffee Break Swedish features a total of 40 lessons. Lesson 1-20 were published during 2021 and lessons 21-40 will be broadcast during 2021. If you'd like to benefit from video versions, lesson notes and bonus audio materials, you can access the premium version of Coffee Break Swedish in the Coffee Break Academy. As soon as each lesson becomes available in the podcast feed, the course will be updated with the bonus materials.


Don't forget to follow Coffee Break Swedish on Facebook where we post language activities, cultural points and review materials to help you practise your Swedish in between lessons. Remember - a few minutes a day can help you build your confidence in the language. Access the Coffee Break Swedish Facebook page here.
