How it works
Three steps to speaking Swedish with confidence.
You apply
Just your email to start. We read every application ourselves and pick 100 people who really need this. You hear back within 7 days.
You get access to Kompis
Kompis lives in Telegram. Nothing new to install. Start a chat, tell it a little about yourself, and it remembers everything from then on.
You practice every day — and see yourself grow
One short message a day. Reply in Swedish, English, or a mix — voice or text. After 21 days, Kompis shows you your progress: more Swedish words used, less switching to English, more confidence in real life.
One conversation. Across days.
A week of speaking Swedish — and Kompis remembers.
You speak. Kompis speaks back. And the next day, it picks up exactly where you left off — like a real friend who has been listening all along.
Said: “Jag har läkartid på torsdag och är lite nervös. Kan vi öva?”
Amina tells Kompis she has a doctor visit on Thursday — and asks to practice.
Said: “Imorgon är ditt läkarbesök 👩⚕️ Vill vi öva en sista gång?”
Kompis remembers — and starts the conversation again to practice one more time.
A quick written check-in the day after — same conversation, no warm-up needed.

Built for your real life
Practice for the moments
that matter.
The goal isn't to get good at Kompis. The goal is to feel more confident speaking Swedish in real life.
Doctor appointments
Telling the doctor how you feel without practicing it ten times before you walk in.
Job interviews
Practicing the answer to “Berätta lite om dig själv” before it actually counts.
Fika conversations
Staying in Swedish through fika instead of quietly switching to English.
School meetings
Föräldramöten and messages from skolan — show up ready, not nervous.
Grocery shopping
Asking where the jäst is. Saying tack at the till. Small wins that add up.
Talking with neighbours
Holding the door. A short hej. The longer chat in the stairwell you used to avoid.
Kompis is for you if…
- You understand Swedish but freeze when it's your turn to speak
- You go to SFI and want more time to actually talk
- You've lived here a while and still avoid Swedish situations
