SUMMARY:SWEDISH BEGINNER 2 — HYBRID LANGUAGE CLASSES
DESCRIPTION:Learn the Nordic languages in classes offered this winter at Scandinavia House! This course is for those who are still new to Swedish but perhaps have studied some on their own using apps or through other means. Students will have a basic knowledge of sentence structure\, greetings\, know their numbers\, how to tell time and already possess a small but basic vocabulary. This semester the students will move beyond themselves and explore how to buy and order things\, talk about what they do in their spare time\, and read about an historical figure. Grammatically they will expand into other tenses and learn how adjectives and nouns inform each other. Various facets of Swedish life may be discussed during the course. This class will take place as hybrid learning on Mondays with classes offered at Scandinavia House and online via Zoom\, and online-only on Wednesdays. \nEnroll

SUMMARY:NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE: REYKJAVÍK — A CRIME STORY
DESCRIPTION:*This event has now been rescheduled to take place December 12\, rather than December 5.* \nRead and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! On December 12\, we’ll be discussing Reykjavik: A Crime Story by Prime Minister of Iceland Katrín Jakobsdóttir and international best-selling crime fiction author Ragnar Jónasson\, a lauded novel set during a transformative time in Iceland’s history — 1986\, a year that saw the city’s 200th anniversary and the Reagan-Gorbachev conference. \n\nIn 1956\, 14-year-old Lára decides to spend the summer working for a couple on the small island of Videy\, just off the coast of Reykjavík\, only to disappear without a trace in early August. As time passes\, the mystery becomes Iceland’s most infamous unsolved case. What happened to the young girl? Is she still alive? Did she leave the island\, or did something happen to her there? \nThirty years later\, as the city of Reykjavík celebrates its 200th anniversary\, journalist Valur Robertsson begins his own investigation into Lára’s case. But as he draws closer to discovering the secret\, and with the eyes of Reykjavík upon him\, it soon becomes clear that Lára’s disappearance is a mystery that someone will stop at nothing to keep unsolved… \nRegister
