Learn Swedish: Greetings and Introductions for Beginners

You can begin speaking Swedish with just a few useful phrases. Start with greetings you can use every day:

1. Hej — Hello
2. God morgon — Good morning
3. Tack — Thank you
4. Hej då — Goodbye

Next, try introducing yourself:

1. Jag heter Sara. — My name is Sara.
2. Jag kommer från Afghanistan. — I come from Afghanistan.
3. Jag lär mig svenska. — I am learning Swedish.

To ask someone how they are, say Hur mår du? (“How are you?”). A simple reply is Jag mår bra, tack. (“I’m well, thank you.”)

Practice: Say the phrases aloud, then replace Sara with your own name. Try this short introduction: Hej! Jag heter [your name]. Jag lär mig svenska. Repeating a few sentences each day will help you remember them and feel more comfortable speaking.
