Hello! Welcome to our first practice in Swedish, Let’s start with the alphabet.  You could wonder why it is important – just think how many times you need to spell your name or ask someone to spell theirs. Or an email address. Or your home address. You will run into this many-many times, I am sure. So let’s get down to it!
