About Swedish
The Swedish language has around 9 million native speakers across the world. It is derived from Old Norse and is very similar to Danish and Norwegian – many people say that if you learn Swedish, you are actually learning three languages at once. In fact, you probably already know more Swedish words than you think – loanwords include moped, ombudsman, orienteering and tungsten!
