Learn Swedish in Berlin
The smaller the group, the more effective the class. For this reason, Swedish courses at Prolog have between three and six participants. And for those who think that even this is too many people we offer Swedish for pairs and individuals.
The quality of an Swedish course is dependent on the competency and skill of the teacher. That is why only native speaking Swedish teachers with year long experience in teaching adults are employed by Prolog.
Our Swedish classes are designed to practice and improve the four basic skills: listening, writing, reading and speaking. Group discussions, role-playing exercises and conversation in the class all lead to an improvement of self-expression, vocabulary building and mastery of grammar in Swedish.

Swedish - A short overview
Swedish, or Svenska, belongs to the Scandinavian languages and therefore to the group of European languages. Alongside Finnish, it is the official language of Finland. During the Middle Ages, Swedish was heavily influenced by Middle Low German, used by the Hanseatic League. Influences from High German were added to this through trade between Germany and the Baltic states, as well as through the Thirty Years War which is clearly demonstrated by the large number of military terms that have made their way into Swedish.
The Swedish alphabet has 29 characters. The letter W surfaces in borrowed words and until 2006 was not recognised as a letter in its own right, but as a variation of the letter V. Following the letter Z are the characters Å, Ä, and Ö, which are all recognised as distinct letters unlike in German where they are seen as variations of A and O.
Swedish is characterised by its distinctive vowel system. The length (or brevity) of the vowel sounds are used to determine meaning. Each syllable has either a long consonant or a long vowel. The combination of a short vowel with a long consonant is not found in Swedish.
Swedish is spoken by approximately 8.5 million native speakers, of which around 8 million live in Sweden and 290,000 live as a Finnish-Swedish minority in Finland.
