Is Swedish difficult?
Is Swedish a difficult language to learn?
In general, our students doesn´t find it too difficult. For someone who already speaks English, it is rather straight forward to learn due to similarities in the grammar structure. With less complicated grammar than French and German, most students don´t find Swedish too hard to learn, rather an enjoyable process with quick improvements. However, please bare in mind that each individual has it´s own personal experiences and challenges and how quick a person learn varies.

Layara Siqueira19 August 2024Sofia tem um excelente didática e é uma professora excelente. Detém amplo conhecimento da cultura brasileira e sueca, o que torna suas aulas ainda mais interessantes. Com ela evoluí muito no meu sueco e aprendi significativamente sobre a língua e cultura sueca. Recomendo!
Thaís Cristina Sanches Candido19 May 2024Após as aulas com a Fia me sinto mais confiante e conversar em Sueco. O que mais apreciei durante nosso ano de aulas foi como conseguíamos dialogar de forma descontraída e ao mesmo tempo claro com feedback sobre o que estava errando e como melhor.ar Foi também com a Pia que aprendi várias expressões e diversas questões culturais. A praticidade das aulas on-line foi essencial. Recomendo!
Ricardson Albuquerque25 April 2024Fia eh muito dedicada, e sempre procurar entender o aluno para proporcionar a melhor experiencia de aprendizado. Eu e meu filho tivemos a oportunidade de aprender e melhorar nosso sueco. profissional super recomendada!
Jéssica Boiane16 April 2024Eu super recomendo as aulas com a Fia!Ela é dinâmica,divertida e as aulas sao de acordo com o foco do aluno,no meu caso era 100% foco na conversaçao!
Vanessa Logdberg9 April 2024Fantastic teacher, well travelled, patient. Sofia gave me not only conversational Swedish, but also an insight of social integration, culture clashes and traditions in Sweden compared to brazil where I come from. Super recommend taking her classes.
Paula Akemi Nishimoto4 April 2024Fia is an excellent professional. She has a lot of teaching skills, both for teaching adults and for keeping children's attention. She is also flexible and always willing to adjust the class format to better suit our needs.
Renata Vila Nova27 March 2024Fia tem dado ótimas aulas, estou gostando bastante do jeito de ensinar, com propriedade, conhecimento da língua e da forma leve.
Paula Nauhardt25 March 2024Eu me mudei para a Suécia por causa do trabalho e meu filho Lucas, de 12 anos veio morar comigo. Lucas não tinha nenhum conhecimento do idioma e ainda assim estava matriculado em uma escola sueca, então precisávamos de alguém que pudesse ajuda-lo a melhorar exponencialmente seu sueco para que ele pudesse começar a entender/interagir com seus colegas e professores. Estamos muito felizes com a Fia porque com sua metodologia e técnicas em 6 meses o Lucas já entende a maior parte do conteúdo da escola e está melhorando muito rápido na oralidade (speaking). As aulas são interativas, divertidas e muito focadas no dia a dia real - o que é muito apreciado quando você depende dos seus conhecimentos linguísticos para se integrar totalmente ao estilo de vida sueco. Acho que a decisão de contratar a Fia para apoiar a jornada do Lucas com o idioma sueco foi muito acertada!
Hanna Englund21 March 2024Sofia är en engagerad lärare med massa härlig energi! Tack Fia för att du hjälper min son förbättra hans svenska här i Rio!
mariana finotti21 March 2024Tenho tido aulas com a Sofia por algum tempo, mais ou menos três meses e não poderia estar mais feliz com o resultado. Ela me ajudou muito com o meu sueco, principalmente na gramática e em meus pontos fracos. Suas aulas fluem muito bem. Também gosto muito dos textos que ela providencia para nós lermos. Não poderia deixar de falar que em suas aulas eu também aprendi sobre a Suécia e a cultura desse país. Recomendo muito para aqueles que querem dar um salto na língua de uma forma leve e divertida.
