The most spoken of the North Germanic languages has a similar syntax and vocabulary to English, which makes it rather easy to learn. English and Swedish share many cognates, particularly in spoken language. Moreover, the Swedish word order structure and verb conjugations follow similar grammatical rules as those of English. Though there are many dialects in the Swedish language, the incredibly rich culture of the country makes it very appealing to get some books, find a tutor, and start practicing. After all, there’s no way of getting more fully immersed in cultural exuberance than by learning the language and exploring it from within.
