Since the bi-weekly Swedish classes for RFSL Newcomers Stockholm members are not running due to corona virus, here are some tips for learning Swedish online! Members can also join us at our språkcafés to practice their Swedish in person.

Do you want to improve your language skills between lessons? Here are some apps and websites to try out. Please note that you need to switch to the Swedish app store to be able to install some of the apps.
