As the days get shorter in Sweden, I realized it had been a while since I put together a quick vocabulary list. We’ve been posting a word of the day over on our Facebook page (if you haven’t be sure to head over there and check it out, it’s a great way to keep your vocab growing!), but themed vocab lists can be super helpful when trying to learn Swedish, or any language for that matter. This one, for lack of creativity, will be a summer theme.

I’ve gone ahead and included the en and ett in parentheses. You’ll notice that the vast majority of the nouns take the en form. This is how it usually is. Yes, there’s not rule for en or ett, you just need to know it, but when in doubt… guess en. Without further ado, here are 25 (hopefully) useful summer vocabulary words.
