Smörgåsbord

Swedish Smörgåsbord around christmas


“Swedish is a very dynamic and funny language which make it easy and intresting to learn. Some may say that Swedish is a very difficult language, and that might also be true. However there is also many very easy parts that you will learn in a trice.”

By start out the lessons by focus on the easy parts, it takes shorter time for the student to become fluent.
There is a lot of job opportunities in Sweden, and very often you are not required to speak perfect Swedish in order to get a job.
My goal therefore becomes to get you to this point as fast as possible.
Then you will learn and become better once you are actually working with Swedish people.

Swedish is a mixed language and over the years we have borrowed many words from other languages.
However we are often very proud of the word “Smorgasbord” since that is actually a word that English has borrowed from Swedish!

Smörgås (means sandwish) and Bord (means table) is actually a table full of small dices, just like the spanish tapas or italian antipasti.
Traditionally it’s served with different types of meats, fish, sallads, egg and sauces. Well, everything you can imagine actually.

Christmas is now coming closer and guess what. This “Bord” is actually serves under most of the Swedish celebrations.
Julbord (christmas table) is actually a kind of Smörgåsbord with a christmas theme. As well as in easter (Påskbord) Easter table.

I am sure you will both enjoy this kinds of tables when you will follow your dreams and learn Swedish!
