Nature Talk—Swedish Words for the Great Outdoors
Sweden is famous for its beautiful outdoors—deep forests, snowy mountains, and thousands of lakes. For Swedish kids, nature is a part of everyday life, and the language reflects that connection. Learning nature-related words not only teaches vocabulary—it sparks curiosity about the world!
Nature Words That Kids Love
- Skog – Forest
- Snö – Snow
- Sjön – Lake
- Fjäll – Mountain
- Träd – Tree
- Djur – Animal
- Sol – Sun
- Regn – Rain
These words are perfect for little explorers who love to point out what they see on nature walks, trips, or even picture books.
Learning Through Nature
Outdoor experiences help kids remember vocabulary through movement and play. A snow day becomes a language moment when they learn to say snöboll (snowball) or kallt (cold).
Through Dinolingo’s Swedish program, children learn weather, animals, and outdoor words with videos, songs, and activities that match the rhythm of the seasons.
