Skrol's video lesson on a phone: the Swedish subtitle "Hej, Torsten. Här är våra nya grannar." with its English translation under it.
A translation under the Swedish subtitles.

Watch, listen, speak

  1. Watch

    Watch with the Swedish subtitles and a translation in English or Arabic under them. Tap a word you don't know to see what it means.

  2. Listen

    Listen to short clips of the video again. Each one comes with an exercise: pick what you heard, fill in a missing word, put the words in order or type the line.

  3. Speak

    Repeat each sentence after it plays. The app compares your words with the subtitle and shows which ones were right.

Made for learning

A translation under the Swedish

The Swedish subtitles have an English or Arabic translation under them, so you always know what is being said.

Tap any word

Tap a word in the subtitles to hear it and see what it means, then save it to your word practice.

Slow it down

Play a video at 0.75× speed when the Swedish goes too fast.

Videos by level

The videos are grouped by level, so you can start with simple Swedish and move up.

Inside the player

The tools for studying a video sit right under it.

Read along

Open the list of every line to read the whole video with its translation, and tap a line to play the video from there.

Line by line

Go back a line, hear the one you just missed again or skip ahead, with a tap or from the keyboard.

Hide the translation

Hide the translation to try with the Swedish alone, and bring it back when you need it. The app remembers your choice for the next video.

Subtitles in full screen

In full screen, the Swedish line and its translation stay over the picture, and you can still tap a word to see what it means.

How to learn with a video

One way to get the most out of a video:

  1. Follow the story

    Watch it once with the translation, without stopping, just to follow what happens.

  2. Watch it again

    Hide the translation and watch again. When you miss a line, go back and hear it once more.

  3. Keep the useful words

    Tap the words you don't know, and add the ones you want to keep to your word practice.

  4. Practise

    Do the Listen exercises, then say the lines yourself in the Speak step.

  5. Come back later

    Watch the same video again a few days later. You will catch more than the first time.

Why videos help

Real Swedish is faster and less tidy than textbook Swedish. Short videos with subtitles let you hear how people actually speak, while the translation keeps you from getting lost.

Words you save from a video come back later in your word practice, so what you hear once becomes vocabulary you keep.

Questions and answers

Which languages are the translations in?

English or Arabic, shown under the Swedish subtitles. If you use Skrol in Swedish, you see the Swedish subtitles only.

Are the videos for beginners?

Yes, and for more advanced learners too: the videos are grouped by level, so you can start with simple Swedish and move up.

Can I slow the videos down?

Yes. You can play a video at 0.75× speed whenever the Swedish goes too fast.

Can I save words from the videos?

Yes. Tap a word in the subtitles to see what it means and save it. Saved words come back in your word practice when it's time to review them.

Is my progress saved?

Yes. Each video shows whether you have finished it or how far you got, and the ones you have started wait for you on your home screen.

Can I watch on my phone?

Yes. Skrol works in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer, and the player is made for small screens, full screen included.

Do I need an account to watch?

Yes. The video lessons are in the app, so you watch them with an account. Every new account starts with a free trial that includes the Listen and Speak exercises.
