Join us at the auditorium of Second House of Sweden for free Swedish lessons on October 22 and November 5 — at 4pm Stockholm time.
Instructor Kvint Larsson will use voice chat technology and a live video stream to take you through basic conversational Swedish. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions about the Swedish language. The lessons take about an hour.
October 22’s lessons will take place at 7am Second Life time (4pm Stockholm time). November 5’s lessons will take place at 8am SL time (4pm Stockholm time), because daylight savings time will have ended in Sweden by then. Please calculate your local time accordingly.
Directions to Second House of Sweden: Second Life is not a physical place but a virtual 3D world that is accessed using a special viewer that you can download. Once logged into Second Life, you can travel to Second House of Sweden, which is on the “Swedish Institute” island. The lessons take place at the auditorium, near the main building.
To get started in Second Life, get a free account and download the software here. The first time you log in you will land at a special training area near the Second House of Sweden. Expect to spend around half an hour downloading the application and learning to use Second Life, so be sure give yourself enough time before the lessons begin.
To hear the teacher, you will need to turn on voice chat. You can do this in the preferences window of the Second Life viewer. You also need to have Quicktime installed in order to see the streaming video. If you have iTunes installed you have Quicktime installed. Otherwise, you can download it here.

I’ve just started learning Swedish in my home country.It’s a beautiful language. These lessons couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Thank you! I appreciate your initiative.

Very good initiative. but why only using second life platform, can we connect in parralle to an open video chat site. it would be a much lighter solution for users like me, i just want to use a browser, and don’t need any 3d rendering.
tak so mucket!!

I have just started to study swedish on Belgrade University in Serbia! I am so happy about it and this idea about learning a beautiful swedish language on line is really good! Does anyone know what are the chances for someone from this part of Europe to work and study in Sweden! Btw. Belgrade department for learning swedish was pronounced for the best department for swedish IN THE WORLD for year 2004 by Svenska Institutet. So, everybody from this part of Europe are welcome to join us!!!!!!!!

Hi,I am master student in sweden and i like to learn swedish. I registered for Swedish course at university but it was not useful as I desired. learning swedish in this way is too good but it needs more sessions, at least twice a week not once a month.
Lycka til !
