That brings us to the end of Living Language In-Flight Swedish. If

you master just the words and expressions youve heard in this short
survival course, youll be able to get by in Swedish. Of course, you
may decide that you had a great time learning just a little bit, and
now youd like to learn more. If thats the case, Living Language
offers great complete courses in a variety of languages, too. For
now, though, we wish you the best of luck using all the Swedish that
youve learned with us so far. Hej d!
