I’m self-studying Swedish online but Duolingo sometimes is not the best of the teachers, so I resorted to going on the web to find good websites* for Swedish lessons. What I found is not much, but it’s good.

Feel free to add new links if you want. Also, if you are, say, Spanish and have found a Swedish grammar website taught in your language, please add the link below to start a new section and clarify that you are adding links to resources taught in your language.

*All of these websites are in English and Swedish.

Dictionaries

Folkets Lexikon: nice Swedish-English / English-Swedish dictionary with clear pronunciations of the words. It also provides example sentences. Also, if you have an Android, you can download Folkets Lexicon on your phone from the Play Store for free. It’s good because it’s an offline dictionary and that means that you can use even when you don’t have any connection.

Ord.se: Swedish-English / English-Swedish dictionary with lots of example sentences.

Lexin: Swedish dictionary with pronunciation and example sentences, useful because it provides noun inflexions as well.
