  • Description:

    This enjoyable course is primarily for visitors to Sweden and is similar to last year's. Swedish is an easy language for English speakers.

    We will use the course book 'Complete Swedish' by Dr Anneli Beronius Haake, 2018, ISBN 9781444195101, available from bookshops and online.

    First, we learn how to pronounce easy and less easy words eg tåg, sjö, tjugo sju, Kungsträdgårdsgatan, Långstrump, vad roligt! We then learn how to use simple Swedish when travelling, shopping, and meeting people. Language notes, maps and visitor information will be distributed free. Each session will include an aspect of Swedish life or a well-known Swede. We shall also invite Swedes in Sweden to take part in some classes. They are happy to speak English and Swedish according to the needs of everyone in the group.

    Learning Swedish is a gateway to all of Scandinavia.
