Välkommen
Ten percent of Oregonians claim Scandinavian heritage. We teach first- and second-year Swedish. First-year Swedish emphasizes communication skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, while second-year Swedish includes an intensive review and further develops your communication skills. Many of our students go on to study in Sweden.
