Swedish Language Classes

Are you taking a trip to Sweden? Or maybe you want to keep up your Swedish language skills you learned earlier. Whatever your motivation, you are invited to take Swedish language classes. These classes are offered fall, winter and spring quarters, including beginning, intermediate and advanced Swedish.  The cost for a series is only $70 for SCC members ($95 for non-members) plus materials. Instructor Mark Safstrom has taught Swedish language at the University of Washington. Call for more information: 206-283-1090.
