Kompis compared with other ways to practise Swedish
Kompis does not replace SFI, teachers or language cafés. Kompis is the place where you practise speaking, when it suits you, before the real conversation.
| SFI | Language café | General language apps | Private tutor | Kompis | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Basic teaching and structure | A social setting | Words and grammar in many languages | Personal teaching | Daring to speak in real situations |
| When it is available | Scheduled lessons | Certain times | Always | Booked times | Always |
| Speaking practice | In the classroom | In a group | Varies | Yes | By voice, privately |
| Cost | Free of charge | Usually free | Free or subscription | Paid per hour | 8 conversations free, then a subscription |
| Follows up your real conversations | No | No | No | Sometimes | Yes, asks how it went |
You often get the best results by combining them.
