Would anyone know of any good Swedish language courses in central(ish) Zurich?

Thanks in advance!

Just so that we're all clear here, you do mean Swedish as spoken by Swedes in Sweden, Scandinavia and not Swiss German, right?

Haha, yes, I seem to have a fairly clear understanding of the difference between the two countries, so I really did mean Swedish. Any tips?

Now that we got that cleared up

, have you looked at Berlitz ?

You might also wish to enquire with the ETH Sprachzentrum.

Since the topic is Swedish...

anyone interested in a language exchange... for example, your Swedhish for my HIGH German?

also, can anyone recommand any socializing groups to meet people from Sweden in Zürich? I read somewhere there are about 5000 Swedes in CH, but they must be hiding somewhere...

Nordic rowing club, SWEA, Swedish choir, Swedish church...

Hi Ioana,
I'm Swedish, living in Zurich and I would love to find a tandem person to help me improve my German. If you want we could exchange - I try to teach you Swedish and you help me with my German once a week or so. Let me know!
Best,
annika

Hi,

I noticed a few posts on Swedes/Swedish.
My wife (Swedish) and I (French) have been living in ZH for many years.
We have a decent Scandinavian friend network and if new Swedes feel lonely and miss hanging out with "their own"

Feel free to reach out. I bet Malin will be happy to meet up and introduce to more friends and/or simply provide with tips for hangouts, etc. (I agree that Rowing club is a good start).

On another topic, I am desperately trying to learn Swedish. I know, I am married to a Swede... but it isn't that easy

I am currently looking for a native Swedish speaker able to commit to 2 hours/week and teach me Swedish. My current level is very basic.
Once taken to a further stage, I'm sure I'll be able to practice at home.. I'm just not there yet!

I can either pay or provide with French lessons in exchange if interested.
Please, contact me.

Thanks,

After getting 4 "we regret to inform you that your selected course did not have enough participants and therefore, will not take place, however we invite you to sign up for CHF120/hr private class", I finally started classes last week at RHZ Sprachen

. Let's see if I'm able to pronounce "surprise" to "min sambo" come Christmas
