Viktoria - a 23 year old girl who loves languages, learning and travelling. Climbed the highest mountain in Sweden last year.

I am:

* Currently writing a book

* Learning Japanese and French

* Making material for my learn-Swedish YouTube channel and podcast

I have taught Swedish for over a year and I continuously improve my teaching to be the best language teacher I can be for my students. I learn laguages myself and I know what to do - and what not to do.

I adapt after my students.

Some are teenagers, others are adults with high profile jobs, some are university students, some are extremely outspoken, others very shy. What stays the same is that I try to fulfil the need my student has - whether it be conversation practice, helping them feel more confident when speaking, grammar, pronunciation or taking them from knowing zero Swedish to speaking level.

What I have learnt though through my own language studies:

Grammar - not as important as you would think.

Pronunciation - much more important than you would think.

Getting over the fear of speaking your target language - also very important.

Actually speaking - what's the point of knowing all that grammar/words/phrases if you can't use them when speaking?

And it is with these things in mind I teach. I also have flashcards, PowerPoints and exercises ready to use.
