Are you finding it hard to practice speaking Swedish in a country where almost everyone speaks perfect English?
At SpeakCharlie, we know that confidence comes from real conversation — not just from studying vocabulary.
That’s why we created the Övningstalar pin — a simple but powerful way to make learning Swedish easier, more natural, and a lot more fun.
What Is the Övningstalar Pin?
Inspired by Sweden’s green-and-white Övningskör (“learner driver”) sign, the Övningstalar pin signals that you’re learning Swedish and invites others to help.
Whether you’re at work, in a café, or out shopping, wearing the pin tells people around you:
💬 “Jag övar svenska — talk to me in Swedish!”
The result?
You get more real-life speaking practice, more encouragement from native speakers, and faster progress.
Why Speaking Swedish Matters
It’s true — most Swedes speak excellent English.
But speaking Swedish opens doors that English alone can’t:
It helps you integrate into Swedish society
It strengthens workplace relationships
It shows genuine commitment to the culture
At SpeakCharlie, we understand how hard it can be to switch from English to Swedish in everyday situations. The Övningstalar pin makes that transition smoother — and more social.
How It Works
Wear it proudly – Show your Övningstalar pin at work or in public to let others know you’re practicing Swedish.
Start real conversations – Native speakers recognize the pin and respond in Swedish, helping you practice naturally.
Build confidence – The more you speak, the more fluent and comfortable you become.
It’s simple, visible, and surprisingly effective.
