SWEDISH…
WHAT KIND OF LANGUAGE IS IT?

What are your associations with Swedish? It's high time to confront your ideas with reality! We offer a unique chance to get acquainted with a foreign language to an extent that would enable you to work, in just about 5 months of language course.

The Swedish language is a Germanic language spoken by ca. nine million people.  Swedish can by roughly (we request that linguists excuse us) described as a mélange of German vocabulary and English grammar in an exotic, melodic sauce of pronunciation. By mastering Swedish you get a bonus in a form of passive knowledge of other Scandinavian languages: Norwegian and Danish (the latter with a bit more effort). Additionally, the Swedish language is the second official language of Finland! The whole Scandinavia is yours: thanks to the language of Linneus, Nobel, Bergman and ABBA..

WHAT IS THAT WE OFFER?

How is the course run? 

The course is run online with a dedicated learning platform, with lessons from Monday through Friday, about 25 hours per week, about 5 months long.

How does the course look like?

A team of experienced teachers from Sweden and Poland runs the lessons. They are English-speaking as well. The course consists of three stages: the first one is a course for beginners, when you learn receptive and productive skills at an elementary level. The second stage consists of improving the skills plus learning specific vocabulary needed at work. The third stage is studying at an advanced level. It prepares students to take the final exam that's going to test listening, writing and reading comprehension skills, summarizing a conversation between a doctor and a patient in a form of anamnesis, conversation about general topics and a simulated conversation with a patient.
