Swedish classes in Edinburgh: Try a class for free
Finding Swedish classes in Edinburgh that are both effective and affordable can be tricky. Classes are typically in groups, meaning you have limited opportunities to speak. On top of this, you’ll often find certain students dominate the conversation, or ask the teacher endless questions!
LanguaTalk offers a more convenient and effective alternative: 1-on-1 online Swedish classes with experienced native tutors. You won’t find these tutors available for face-to-face Swedish lessons in Edinburgh. LanguaTalk finds the best tutors from around the world. They offer conversational Swedish classes at cheaper rates because they don’t have to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living.
Probably you’re thinking: but are online classes really as effective as face-to-face? You can book a no obligation 30-minute trial session (for free with most tutors) and see for yourself. Classes take place via video call, allowing you to communicate with your tutor and share learning materials, as if you were in the same room. And you can book classes for whenever it suits you.
Below, you can filter to tutors who have availability that fits with your Edinburgh time zone. Then watch videos, check reviews, and book a trial session.
If you have questions, you can click the 'Help' button in the bottom right. There, you’ll find answers to every question imaginable, and the option of contacting our support team.

Native Swedish tutor
Hi, I'm Julian. I'm a Swedish tutor with over 500 hours of experience teaching online.
I am passionate about language and a language learner myself.
I come from a multicultural background and have experience living in 4 different countries. This has given me a lot of perspective on what situations people find themselves in when learning a language and I hope to transfer that into a smooth personalized learning experience for my students. Furthermore, I am always curious on new topics of conversation.
I hope to hear from you soon!

Native Swedish teacher with two years of experience
Native Swedish speaker with a standard Stockholm accent. I have taught Swedish for a couple of years to students of various backgrounds, from teenagers learning Swedish at school to professionals moving to Sweden for work. I can help you practise conversation on both everyday and specialized topics, as well as reading, writing and grammar. If you want to prepare for the national language exam TISUS I have experience doing this as well. I love talking and listening to people, I’m really good at grammar and I have a huge vocabulary.
Most of my lessons are based on conversation, that is, we talk to each other and every now and then we take a little break to focus on some particular item of grammar or vocabulary which appears in the conversation. The conversation can be really simple or very complex, but it’s almost always fun! I take notes during the lesson and during subsequent lessons we use these notes to rehearse and develop particular themes.
It’s also fun to discuss peculiarities of Swedish culture, I have lived in several countries and will recognize and help you discover some strange aspects of living in Sweden. And if you are moving there and need help with some practicalities I am happy to do this as well.
As far as formal experience goes, I have university degrees in Classics, Philosophy and Mathematics and have worked as a qualified high school teacher in Sweden.

Swedish teacher with 8 years of teaching experience
Hello!
My name is Eva and I’ve been teaching Swedish for three years on-line and I have gathered a lot of understanding about the different needs from teaching Swedish to a teenager or to a PhD student.
I'm here to help you learn Swedish in a fun and stimulating way and I believe that having a good and open communication with each one of my students is the most important thing.
I am also fluent in English, Hebrew and Spanish.
Me as a Teacher
I’ve been learning how to speak a language in different ways (traditional- in school and natural-like a child) and the natural way is by far the most stimulating and motivating way.
My classes will be mostly conversational and we will personalize every class to your abilities and goals.
I can help you with everything from grammar, preparation for Swedish exams, new vocabulary etc.
My Lessons & Teaching Style
We will work with articles, work sheets, books, role plays…. whatever works best for you to make progress and gain confidence to speak Swedish.
I will share my books and material with you and I create an individual google doc with each one of my students where we keep all your progress up to date.
I am patient and understanding, I have been where you are, the hardest is to begin!
Let's start your new journey together and I will help you to learn Swedish from start or to improve your existing level.
I look forward to seeing you in class soon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Swedish lessons in Edinburgh more expensive than learning online?
Whilst not always the case, Swedish classes in Edinburgh are typically more expensive than online learning options. This is due to the costs associated with using a classroom, as well as travel time and expenses for teachers. Online classes, on the other hand, eliminate these overheads. Additionally, online instructors often live in countries with lower living costs, which can further reduce the price of online classes.
Do any of the teachers on LanguaTalk also offer in-person conversational Swedish classes in Edinburgh?
While some teachers on LanguaTalk may offer in-person conversational classes in their local area, the majority specialize in online teaching. This approach is more convenient for them, allowing flexibility and the comfort of working from home. Most teachers are not based in Edinburgh and are spread across the globe, so if you're looking for a class with LanguaTalk, you should anticipate an online learning experience.
What's the best way to find conversational Swedish classes near me in Edinburgh?
If you prefer in-person learning over online classes, LanguaTalk might not be the best fit for your needs. For local classes, you can search through community boards or local service listing websites. However, we encourage you to explore the convenience and effectiveness of online classes. You can start with a free trial session to experience the benefits first-hand, such as access to a broader range of experienced teachers and potentially lower costs.
How does participating in a Swedish class via video call differ from attending a Swedish class in person in Edinburgh?
Many students initially have reservations about participating in online Swedish classes, thinking the experience will be vastly different from in-person classes. However, they often discover that online classes can be just as engaging and effective. In an online Swedish class, you’ll interact with your teacher and classmates as if you were all in the same room. The teacher may share resources (like articles or videos) and will collaborate with you in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper, ensuring an interactive learning environment. The biggest benefit is convenience: there is no need to travel, and you can book lessons for when it suits you.
On LanguaTalk, you can find exceptional tutors for 1-on-1 Swedish lessons tailored to your goals and learning preferences. Here’s how to try it for yourself:

The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, just check their calendar to make sure that they have available times that fit your schedule. Some tutor have limited availability as they already have a lot of students.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, you’ll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the ‘Buy Lessons’ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if they’re for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
