Hej allihopa!

As a native Swedish speaker, solving bildkryss is one of my favorite ways to pick up new words. Bildkryss are a distinctly Swedish style of crosswords, where the clues sit in boxes inside the grid and one of them is a picture.

I wanted learners to be able to use crosswords the same way, so I made a set for people who are earlier on in their Swedish: https://bildkryss.se/learn-swedish :) There are five puzzles each for levels A0-B2. The lower levels have English clues and small grids, and from B1 and onward the clues are in Swedish - mainly synonyms and cloze words. When you finish a puzzle you get a list of its words.

Although the layouts are generated by a program, the clues are handwritten. I am a little bit unsure about whether the synonyms I used in higher levels are at the right, um.. level, so any feedback there is very welcome (or any feedback at all, for that matter).

The site works on all screen sizes but I'd definitely recommend using a desktop or tablet.

To be clear: this is fully free, no ads or anything. I'm just happy if people want to give it a try. Stort tack to anyone who does!

sometimes i heard the word "kanske" pronounced like spoon "sked" without the D outside of skåne, and i wonder how common is it ?

I'm building an app to learn Swedish irregular verbs.

• You have to enter a correct verb form on a card.
• There are no lessons - you can practice as many verbs as you want, set a daily goal verb number and notification time.
• You can also practice on a set of verbs, for example the essential ones or a specific pattern.
• The interface and verb translations exist in different languages.

I’d really appreciate some feedback, especially from people who are learning Swedish as a second language:

1. Would you consider using something like this?
2. Does the interface feel intuitive?
3. Most importantly: what would make you stop using it after a few days?

I am learning Swedish myself and would like to make if a bit easier for you guys as well!
