SFI

If you have just moved to Sweden it is a good idea to learn Swedish. Swedish for Immigrants (Svenska för invandrare -SFI) is a course designed for adults who want to learn the language and improve their understanding of  Swedish society. In Linköping Sfi in Linköping is organized by Kunskapstorget. For more information visit our site on SFI (only available in Swedish) or visit Kunskapstorget, situated on Apotekaregatan 13 C (Phone 013-20 60 90).

Easy Swedish

If you have learnt a little Swedish you can make use of “easy Swedish" (Lätt svenska or Lättläst svenska). This is a service available on many official websites and offers text written in a simpler way, using fewer word and shorter sentences and phrases that you already know with a little knowledge of Swedish.
There are also books available in easy Swedish. Just ask at your local library.

Interpreter 

If you need help with translation in certain situations you may be entitled to an interpreter. For example, the county council (Landstinget) can offer interpreters for doctor appointments. If you need an interpreter, ask the authority if they offer such a service, and if they do, remember to book it well in advance.
