Swedish spell check is your friend if you are uncertain how to spell those tricky Swedish words. And it is important to get it right. One single letter can change the whole meaning of a word; grattis (congratulations) is not the same as gratis (for free), even though it sounds more or less the same. So what do you do to avoid making annoying spelling mistakes?

This is what you do

• live by the device that “practice makes the master” and accept that you will make mistakes
• turn to the proofing eye of a Swedish-speaking friend
• start using a Swedish spell check in the form of spelling and grammar software.
