  • Description:

    This enjoyable course is for visitors to Sweden, and also for those interested in languages. Learning Swedish is a gateway to all the Scandinavian languages. This beginners' course is similar to previous years. We will use the excellent 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 Jag måste lära mig det här språket! We then learn how to use simple Swedish, an easy language for English speakers, 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, from Lucia to Nobel.
