Hej och välkommen! Swedish is an old language tied to the Norse language but has also been influenced by German, French, and English. It is important that the student has taken my other Swedish classes before you enroll in this class. However, if your student already knows some Swedish due to family, don't hesitate to contact me if you want to register. There will be a booklet that I will send to everyone upon enrollment that it is imperative that you print out because we will use this one in class. I also suggest buying a Swedish-English dictionary. We will start every class with saying hello, asking how you are doing, talking about the weather and what we had for breakfast.
