FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROGRAMS
Swedish Language Course
Swedish Language Program Objective
The Boston Language Institute, New England’s leading language school, offers Swedish language courses to individuals and companies. The quality of instruction provided in our Swedish language classes are on a par with the best native Swedish language school.
We consider it to be the major goal of our program to have you use Swedish in as large a variety of real-life situations as possible. To that end, our Swedish courses have been designed to build fluency in both the spoken and the written language. Communication in a warm and relaxed environment is an important feature of our programs, as is homework, which includes exercises for review and practice of the material taught in class. Moreover, by keeping the class size limited to twelve students, we ensure that each student will be able to actively participate.
Level 1 Swedish
Introduces both spoken and written Swedish and aims to give beginning students a practical command of the language. Upon completion of this course, students can expect to be able to talk about a range of everyday topics using the simple present and simple future tenses. Proper pronunciation and the development of conversational proficiency are strongly emphasized as a foundation for further learning. Among the topics introduced in Level One are adjectives, noun gender, and simple sentence structure.
