Where numbers matter most

Prices

Listen for numbers at shops, cafes, pharmacies, and ticket machines.

Dates and time

Numbers help with birthdays, appointments, opening hours, and schedules.

SFI and daily tasks

Numbers appear in exercises, classroom instructions, forms, and everyday errands.

How to practice Swedish numbers

1

Master 0 to 20

These numbers are irregular enough that they deserve focused repetition.

2

Learn the tens

Once you know trettio, fyrtio, femtio, and the other tens, 21 to 99 become easier.

3

Combine numbers out loud

Say prices, addresses, dates, and times instead of only reading a list.

4

Review with listening

Numbers are harder when you hear them quickly, so include audio-style recall and repetition.
