Look up in the dictionary, save to wordbooks, review with flashcards
A dictionary that speaks learner
Search Swedish or English. Every entry shows en/ett gender, inflection forms, real example sentences, and audio pronunciation.
Build your own wordbooks
Collect words from class, the news, or the street into wordbooks — or start from curated CEFR A1–B1 and SFI lists.
Flashcards on a smart schedule
Spaced repetition brings each word back right before you'd forget it. Ten focused minutes a day keeps hundreds of words alive.
Beat the forgetting curve
Without review, most new vocabulary fades within days. Each well-timed review flattens the curve — until the word simply stays.
- ✓Every saved word gets a mastery level from 0 to 5
- ✓Intervals adapt: shaky words return sooner, solid words rest longer
- ✓Daily session sized to fit your streak, not exhaust it

One root, a whole family
Swedish is a builder's language: stå (stand) becomes förstå (understand), bestå (consist), avstånd (distance). SveLingo maps roots, prefixes, and suffixes on every entry, so each word you learn quietly teaches you five more.
