first week of SFI
Feb. 14th, 2014 11:51 pmThis week was the first week of my Swedish for Immigrants Course. 
( but before I get to how it went, let me re-cap the diagnostic test I took before the course started )
The way this program works is that the school is set up to make it possible for everyone to take the course half time--no matter if the rest of your life gives you mornings or after lunch free. They have five different classes Mentorstid (mentor's time, which meets Mondays starting at 08:15, or Thursdays at noon) Hör (hearing/listening, which meets Tuesdays starting at 08:15, or Fridays at noon), Skriv (writing, which meets Wednesdays starting at 08:15, or Thursdays at 14:00), Läs (reading, which meets Thursdays starting at 08:15, or Wednesdays at 14:00), Gramatik (Grammar, which meets Fridays starting at 8:15, or Mondays at 14:00). In addition to all of that there is Stuga/handledning (home room/tutoring, which meets every morning at 10:00 (save Mondays, which has a double dose of Mentorstid), or at all times in the afternoon that isn't taken by something else.
( Monday's class )

( Friday's class )
I will have to go into detail about how the tutoring sessions go on another occasion, since I have been reading email/LJ followed by typing for 2.5 hours now, and am tired. Time for yoga and bed! (Remind me to mention last night's couch surfers from Finland on their way to Stockholm for a yoga conference on another occasion, too. Oh, wait, that might count...)
