Swedish for students without any prior knowledge. We focus on foundational grammar and vocabulary plus useful everyday expressions with special attention to pronunciation.

We will focus on conversation based on agreed ares of improvement. Learn how to communicate in a way that is suitable in Swedish society. We will practice becoming comfortable in speaking Swedish regardless of how familiar we are with a subject - no more switching to English!

Learning a language is a non-linear experience. At this point some of us hit a wall. According to the classic approach towards language learning, improving your skills at this level is about learning more vocabulary. This can never be a bad idea, of course. But I will challenge this as the main issue - at this point many learners struggle with personal barriers - whether this is about confidence, perceived ideas about blockages or errors - the first step here is to identity what is in your way of expressing yourself with calm and ease, in a way that makes you feel like... yourself! We all make mistakes, the goal to building relationship and communicate efficiently is not about avoiding mistakes (although I will tell you if you keep making the same mistake over and over again - because this is fixable). I will be the person to tell you where you are struggling, what can be improved and what we need to accept. And yes, I will tell you in case your pronunciation of some word causes embarrassing associations - because your friends or co-workers won't :)

Learn how to communicate efficiently within business circles - which in Sweden is different than in other (even nearby) countries. We will focus on clarity, precision and confidence.

Children are my favourites :) We will learn Swedish from scratch or practice conversation. We will learn through play, being silly and interactive games made just for you.
