Learn practical Swedish for everyday conversations
You can study Swedish for a long time and still feel nervous when someone asks you a simple question in real life.
That is because everyday Swedish is not only about vocabulary. It is about responding in the moment, asking questions, understanding what someone means and feeling confident enough to keep talking.
Kompis helps you practise practical Swedish through realistic conversations for everyday life.

Learn to keep a conversation going
Sometimes the hard part is not starting the conversation. It is knowing what to say next.

- Explain what you mean in another way.
- Respond naturally when you do not know every word.

Use Swedish more often
The best way to improve is to use Swedish regularly. Kompis gives you a place to practise without feeling embarrassed, rushed or judged.
You can make mistakes, try different words and repeat the same conversation until it feels easier.
