Speak Swedish
out loud.
Without the fear.

You talk to someone at the pharmacy. They answer. In Swedish.

That's the whole idea. Pick a situation you'll face this week and say it out loud a few times before it happens for real. If you get stuck, ask for a hint.

Pharmacist
Hej! Vad kan jag hjälpa dig med?
Hi! How can I help you?
Eh… jag…
Hint: Jag har ont i halsen. (My throat hurts.)
Jag har ont i halsen.
You, out loud
Pharmacist
Okej. Har du feber också?

A colleague says "Ska vi ta en fika?" You know exactly what it means. You open your mouth, and what comes out is "Yes, sure!"

Most people who move here understand far more Swedish than they can say. Classes teach grammar. Apps teach words. Almost nothing makes you actually speak.

Parlatio is the place to get the awkward first tries out of the way, where nobody's waiting for you to finish the sentence.

Five minutes, three things.

  1. 1.
    Pick a situation. The doctor, small talk at work, a customer at the counter. Or describe your own.
  2. 2.
    Say it out loud. The other person answers like a real person would. Stuck? Tap for a hint.
  3. 3.
    See how it went. Your best line, a more natural way to say it, and why.

Questions

Is it free?

Free while we're in beta — 60 minutes of practice a month, no card.

What level do I need?

None. If you're starting from zero you get guided phrases one at a time. If you already talk, you practice sounding more natural.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your browser, on your phone or computer, and you can add it to your home screen.

Is my voice recorded?

When you practice, your voice recording and the text of the conversation are sent to our AI provider, OpenAI, to transcribe what you say, generate replies, help and feedback. We don't store your audio or the content of your conversations. During a session, the conversation text is kept temporarily in your browser so we can show your feedback; it is removed when you close the tab. According to OpenAI's terms for business customers, data sent through their API is not used to train their models and may be kept by OpenAI for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring. Read the privacy policy.

Which languages?

Swedish for now, with explanations in English or Spanish.

Your next conversation in Swedish is probably tomorrow.
