Swedish discussion group

Swedish as your second language? Want to meet with other kiwis and practise your Swedish?

As some of you know we used to have a Swedish discussion group for people who already knew some Swedish, but unfortunately the 2 ladies who ran the group got pregnant and moved back to Sweden...

Good news! We have found a new member of SENZ who is willing to start up the discussion group again. Katarina Ejerblad is a very bubbly and friendly person, who moved to New Zealand with her family in October 2009. She will hold the discussion group in her home in Roseneath on Mondays. There will be a small fee involved to cover her time and the material cost.

Please note, Katarina is not a teacher by trade and the discussion group is for people who already know some Swedish.

Want to know more/join? Please contact katarina on: katarina@sweden.org.nz
