Practice a 瑞典语 Doctor's Appointment
Visiting the doctor in 瑞典语 is high-stakes and high-value: getting your symptoms across precisely matters, and the medical vocabulary is mostly Latin-based across European languages. This scenario rehearses a general practitioner's appointment from check-in to prescription: describing symptoms with body parts and intensity, mentioning allergies and existing conditions, understanding the doctor's explanation, and reading a prescription. You'll practise the formal register doctors use, plus the verbs for pain, duration, and frequency. By the end, you'll handle a routine 瑞典语-speaking appointment without needing a translator.

常见问题
How do I describe pain levels in 瑞典语?
Use the 瑞典语 equivalent of 'mild, moderate, severe', plus 'sharp', 'dull', 'stabbing'. The vocabulary list covers this nuanced spectrum.
Will my 瑞典语-speaking doctor speak English?
Often yes in big cities, often no in smaller towns. Even when they do, knowing the basic 瑞典语 medical vocabulary helps you describe symptoms more accurately.
How do I ask about side effects of medication in 瑞典语?
There's a specific construction — 'What are the side effects?' — that the scenario teaches. Pharmacists often answer this more thoroughly than doctors.
What's the 瑞典语 for 'I'm allergic to penicillin'?
