COFFEE BREAK LANGUAGES
About this episode

Our normal Coffee Break Swedish lessons will return in the new year, but in the meantime it's the perfect time to find out a little more about Swedish culture with our mini-series, Kulturhörnan - "culture corner". In this episode Lovisa tells Mark about the tradition of placing an Adventsljsstake in your window in the run-up to the festive season. You can learn new Swedish words and practise your pronunciation with this lesson.


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.
