How to study with it
- Skim the word list and look up the ones you don't know before you start.
- Watch once without subtitles for the gist, then again with Swedish subtitles to fill the gaps.
- Note down two or three phrases you would like to use yourself, and use them this week.
- If it feels too hard, go down a level: listening a little below your level builds speed faster.
