Hej svenska! 1, 2, 3 and 4

How Hej svenska! works
There are three buttons that appear throughout Hej svenska!: the Listen button, the OK button and the Help button.
Listen button
The Listen button (which has a loudspeaker icon) lets you listen as many times as you need to. In some exercises the Listen button is optional. This means that you can choose whether you want sound or not. In other exercises, the example is read out after you have completed the exercise.
OK button
When you feel you have completed an exercise, click the OK button for correction. This means that any errors will be marked red and correct answers will be marked green. Once you have corrected any errors you can click the OK button again and move on to the next exercise.
Help button
You can get help for a number of exercises by clicking the Help button (which has a lightbulb icon). This will flash the correct answer for a few seconds. You can click the Help button as many times as you like and need to.
