We aim to teach you how to walk and talk like a Scandinavian right here in Toronto! That means learning Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish or Icelandic with its traditions, culture and even food. We are not just a boring language school, either. Our instructors and staff have the modern lifestyle in mind, incorporating the latest in technology and pop culture such as viewing YouTube videos, funny tweets and HuffPost articles relevant to today’s issues and hot conversation topics… we want you to know what’s going on in a Nordic country today, not back in the 1800s. Oh, but if you want tradition, you’ll be learning that too.
Student Testimonials
“I learned a lot, can’t wait to start the next course!” – Christina, Swedish Level I
“Overall, an amazing experience. Surpassed my expectations. Learned so much in a measurable way. Great teacher and, best of all, you learn so much about Swedish/Scandinavian culture!”- Dominykas, Swedish Level I
“I looked forward to coming to class every week because it was never boring.” – Student, Swedish Level I
“I’m surprised at how much Swedish I’ve learned in such little time. I believe my rapid learning is a confluence of a love for the language and the country (Sweden) as well as the highly skilled and patient instructor. Thank you!” – Chelsea, Swedish Level I

Hej Jeanette,
Vi håller registreringen öppen till de nuvarande kurserna blir fullbokade. Anledningen till att vi håller den öppen är för att vi behövde veta om vi har tillräckligt många personer registrerade för att hålla kursena. Just nu har vi Svenska nivå I-III och Norska nivå II öppna. Jag ska skriva till emejladressen som finns här och diskutera vilken nivå vi tycker passar. Vi hörs! Hälsningar, Myleen
