Who it's for
Built for the
confidence gap.
Newcomers, international students, professionals, partners of Swedes — anyone who understands Swedish but needs a safe place to actually speak it.
Who this is for
You, if any of these feel familiar.
"I understand but freeze when it's my turn to speak."
You know enough Swedish to follow a conversation. But the moment it's your turn, something stops you. That gap is exactly what Kompis is for.
"I need Swedish for work but I'm not confident yet."
Your job needs Swedish — or there's a job you want that does. Kompis builds the speaking confidence to show up ready.
"I go to SFI — I just need more time to actually speak."
Class gives you the language. Kompis gives you the daily reps — short, low-pressure chats between lessons, until speaking stops feeling like a performance.
"I've been here two years and still avoid Swedish situations."
Avoidance is a pattern, not a flaw. Kompis is built to break it — one small, safe conversation at a time.
“SFI is great, but I never get to actually talk. Kompis fills that gap — I practice every morning on the bus.”
What we saw in Pilot I
Real behavior from real learners.
Pilot II is shaped by what people actually did — not what we hoped they would do.
Timing
Most chats happened after work or late at night, when people were alone and relaxed.
Mixing
Users naturally mixed Swedish and English — and slowly shifted toward more Swedish without being asked.
Confidence
Confidence grew noticeably faster than grammar accuracy. People felt braver before they sounded perfect.
Consistency
The biggest drop-off wasn't boredom — it was guilt. Users who felt 'too busy' stopped. The ones who kept it low-pressure stayed.
"I didn't realize I was avoiding Swedish until Kompis made it feel small again."
"It's the first time I've spoken Swedish every day without dreading it."
