Premiere for Swedish Fika & Language Café 

The International Spouse Program has launched Swedish Fika & Language Café – an informal meet-up with Swedish fika and small-group conversation practice designed to help accompanying spouses build confidence speaking everyday Swedish.

Learning a new language takes practice – especially when it comes to speaking. To support accompanying spouses in Sweden, the International Spouse Program recently launched Swedish Fika & Language Café: a relaxed and social space to practice everyday Swedish in a friendly setting.

During the session, participants met in small groups and used simple conversation cards to get started. The focus wasn’t on perfect grammar, but on building confidence, speaking freely, and connecting with others over coffee and classic Swedish fika.

We’re grateful for the great engagement and enthusiasm from everyone who joined. Thank you for making the first Swedish Fika & Language Café such a success – we’re already looking forward to the next session!
