Sweden has so many fantastic opportunities for foreigners living here. OK, these opportunities might be hard to find, sometimes confusing to access, but at least they are there. One of these great services is free university education for all citizens, permanent residents and most holders of a resident visa. Sweden also offers free of charge Swedish classes. I have heard mixed reviews about these classes – some amazing success stories and some complaints. I can’t tell you if these classes are right for you, but since they are free of charge, why not try them out for yourself and figure out if they fit your needs and teaching style.
To help you through the process, here are some details you might need to know..
