Swedish Courses

 

Past-Tense offers individual and group courses in Swedish for all levels, from beginners to more advanced learners. The courses are all tailored to suit your language needs, social as well as business. Prior to the course starting you will meet with a language consultant where your specific needs will be discussed. This helps us assess your language level and allows us to design a course specifically for you.

Past-Tense uses the internationally recognised Common European Framework of Reference for Languages when assessing language proficiency. This is a 6 level scale (A1-C2).
