- johnnypangs 2y agoThere’s even radio and Swedish ebooks in “lätt” or easy Swedish. Helped me when I learned: Easy Swedish radio news: https://www.sverigesradio.se/grupp/22720 https://www.sverigesradio.se/grupp/22720 Easy Swedish books: https://www.bokus.com/cgi-bin/product_search.cgi?series=L%E4ttl%E4st&subject=5 https://www.bokus.com/cgi-bin/product_search.cgi?series=L%E4...
