SFI – Swedish For Immigrants
Alma Folkhögskola’s courses in Swedish For Immigrants (SFI) are for those who have another mother tounge than Swedish. We have teachers with years of experience from SFI, both native and with other cultural background, who can offer language support in different mother tongues. You get to practice reading, writing, listening and talking. You will also learn about Swedish society, culture and work.
