Swedish Language School
The Swedish Club of Houston has maintained a Swedish Language School for many
years. It is the only source of Swedish language instruction in southeast
Texas. The school began as a "back porch school" at the home of one of the
Swedish Club's founders, and has grown to where it now holds classes
at the IKEA store on IH-10 West at Antoine.
As student enrollment demands, the school offers classes at several levels.
Instruction is by native speakers of Swedish, and the approach emphasizes
a conversational approach since most persons wishing to learn Swedish want
to be able to speak it when visiting Sweden.
Classes meet one evening a week, Monday or Tuesday (depending on level),
from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The cost is modest, and varies according to the
cost of materials, which come from Sweden. The school operates on a 15-week
semester basis, with the first semester running from October to January,
and the second from January to May. It is not possible to start as a beginner
in January, but other levels will accomodate.
