I had a nice interaction with Jenny. She was easy to talk to and gave me a nice managable daily routine and tools to start improving my Swedish.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was lovely having you both in the workshop and in our 1:1 session. I’m really glad you found the daily routine manageable and the tools useful. Small, consistent steps can make such a difference. Wishing you lots of confidence as you keep using your Swedish!
Jenny has an interesting approach in getting you going and to actually start talking Swedish more. For me, it was a good start and good motivation. After some weeks, it did not give me anything extra anymore, as it is mostly behavioural activation, and I decided to quit. For those who need someone to continuously provide some external motivation and discipline, her approach could work very well.

Thank you so much Anja for taking the time to share your experience.
I'm really pleased to hear that the coaching helped you feel more comfortable speaking Swedish and start using it more in everyday life. Helping people move from understanding Swedish to actually speaking it is exactly why I created Kickstart Your Swedish.
I also appreciate your perspective that different people benefit from different levels of support at different stages of their journey. For some, a focused period of coaching is exactly what they need to build new habits, while others choose to continue working towards new communication goals.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the best with your continued Swedish journey!
I really enjoyed the Baking in Easy Swedish class. We only spoke Swedish all lesson, which was a great achievement. Firstly we made butter and then we used that butter to make kanelbullar. We made lots of different sorts to try. A Cinnabun roll, which was iced, traditional twisted and knotted kanelbullar, ones in individual tins and rolls. Jenny explained everything and we had great fun. I went home with about 80 kanelbullar too.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy you enjoyed the Baking in Easy Swedish class. Since I love baking - it was maxxed fun for me and wonderful to see everyone speaking Swedish throughout the lesson while baking, laughing, learning, and creating together. Even I had to scratch my head over some of the old Swedish words, such as smörkärna!
For me, this event had all the ingredients that make language learning memorable: conversation, hands-on activities, sensory experiences, real-life Swedish, and lots of cinnamon buns.
Thank you for being part of it and helping make it such a fun and unforgettable day. And yes... going home with 80 kanelbullar was definitely a bonus!
My Swedish was previously quite limited in practice, and I often hesitated to speak despite understanding more than I could express. The hardest part was overcoming perfectionism and the fear of making mistakes, which held me back from even trying. After joining Jenny’s Express programme, I experienced a significant shift within just a few weeks through her structured, habit-based approach and daily accountability. In fact, less than three weeks in, I found the courage to deliver a short presentation in Swedish at an all-staff meeting, something that would have felt completely unimaginable a month earlier! To be honest, I can’t believe myself that I did that 🙂 Today I feel a lot more confident to speak, even if it’s not perfect. I work in a senior leadership role, and despite a demanding schedule, the programme is perfectly manageable with just a brief daily commitment. I would strongly recommend this to full-time working professionals, especially women who feel held back by perfectionism and want a practical way to start speaking Swedish.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review.
Watching you go from hesitating to speak to standing up and giving a presentation in Swedish at an all-staff meeting in less than three weeks has honestly been incredible to witness.
What you describe is exactly why I created The Voice Shift Method™: not to chase perfection, but to help highly capable professionals start using Swedish in real life, even before it feels perfect.
And I think so many ambitious women will recognize themselves in what you wrote about perfectionism, overthinking, and waiting until they feel “ready.”
You did something that felt unimaginable just weeks earlier, while balancing a demanding senior leadership role, and that takes real courage.
You inspire me ❤️
Jenny has been teaching our two sons Swedish for half a year or so and she has a very good structured but engaging and fun way of teaching that has worked wonders. Can strongly recommend her for foundational beginner Swedish!

Thank you so much for your kind words—I really appreciate it!
It’s been a pleasure working with your sons and seeing their progress over time. I’m so glad the structure and approach have worked well for them—and that they’re enjoying the process too : )
Thank you again for the recommendation—it means a lot.
When I started working with Jenny, my Swedish was at a beginner level (around A1/2). Now, 8 months later, I am comfortable talking about many subjects in Swedish, from everyday to academic topics (B2/C1). A large part of my progression has been the ability to speak to a native Swedish speaker and receive immediate and constructive feedback. I had been intimidated by the thought of speaking to a Swede in Swedish- my word order was always wrong, I couldn’t pronounce vowels to save my life, and speaking with the correct articles and forms?? Impossible. With Jenny’s personalised help, and by working in a comfortable, judgement-free environment, I have seen improvements across the board. I would like to eventually use my Swedish knowledge in a professional setting, and with Jenny’s help, that feels more possible every day. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants personalised lessons and feedback, or who still struggles to put themselves out there and speak Swedish in the ‘wild’.

This made me smile—thank you Karis!
You’ve done such an amazing job going from feeling unsure about word order and pronunciation to speaking confidently about complex topics. That shift doesn’t happen without courage and consistency.
I’m so glad you feel more comfortable speaking Swedish “in the wild” now—that’s exactly the goal! And I can already see you using Swedish professionally in the near future.
I am very glad for having found the "Kickstart Your Swedish" course. I have already studied Swedish and managed to read and listen well, but struggled to write and speak. Jenny has helped me to develop the active skills of the Swedish language by building my confidence and developing a routine to embrace the Swedish language in a natural and interesting way, according to my schedule and individual interests.
This course is then perfect for professionals who want to pass the threshold from studying Swedish to being able to communicate and immerse in the local culture.

You describe exactly the shift so many professionals experience: from understanding Swedish to actually using it in real life. And that’s not about learning more, but about building confidence and creating a way to use the language naturally in your own context.
It is such a pleasure to work with you and see that transition happen.
Before working with Jenny, I rarely had the chance to practice speaking Swedish, which made me hesitant and quick to switch back to English instead of trying.
Since starting lessons with her, my fluency has improved a lot. Even when I don’t know a word, I now try to express myself in different ways instead of giving up.
Jenny is incredibly supportive and motivating. She doesn’t just help with the language, she also provides valuable mentorship on Swedish work and everyday life culture.
I highly recommend her to anyone who feels stuck with their spoken Swedish and just needs a bit of support to move forward.

Thank you so much for your kind words—it truly means a lot to me. It’s been amazing to see your joy, development and how much more naturally and confidently you’re expressing yourself in Swedish.
It’s such a pleasure having you in the group sessions, and I’m really glad you’re finding both the speaking practice and our conversations around Swedish work and everyday culture valuable. That combination is exactly what I aim to create.
Thank you again for your recommendation—I’m really looking forward to continuing this journey with you!
Before working with Jenny, I understood Swedish but felt nervous and insecure when speaking. As a lawyer, clear communication has always been important to me, but in Swedish I often held back and avoided speaking.
Through Kickstart Your Swedish™️ Express and her Swedish language coaching, I became more comfortable speaking without overthinking and started to trust myself more.
Today, I speak much more in daily life and feel more confident and less stressed. I still make mistakes, but I keep going.
I would highly recommend this to other professionals or expats in Sweden who want to start speaking Swedish with confidence.

With plenty of love,
Jenny Said
