FAQ about schools in Sweden
- Can I learn English in Sweden?“The programme available is only for Swedish course, with an immersion in a Teacher's home.”Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 03, 2023Do you also work with language schools in Sweden?“In Sweden we do not work with language schools, but we do work with the Study & Live in your Teacher's Home organisation, which is one of the best options to learn a lot in a short period of time. You will be staying with the teacher and his/her family so you get to practice the language all day long, even around the dinner table since full board is included. You choose the number of hours per week you want to have lessons and you sit down together with the teacher and have individual lessons. This gives you the possibility to focus on your interests and weaknesses.”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Dutch Consultant from LanguageCourse.net - Jun 02, 2022
