Annemie Van Winckel

Sometimes I think I was a Viking in my previous life. Not only do I love the Swedish language, I am also fond of the Swedish no-nonsense culture. No wonder I truly enjoy the classes. We learn to speak Swedish so we don't feel inhibited to start a conversation when we are in Sweden. Our teacher also introduces us into a number of Swedish habits. Such as the Fika - this is the name for a Swedish snack with coffee and cake - and the Christmas and St. Lucia tradition.
