It took us 8 months to complete and it really boosted up our knowledge of the Swedish language.<br /><br />However, if I were in your situation, I would most probably choose Korta Vägen. It sounds like a good - and fast - track towards a job and/or a meaningful way to spent your time and energy.<br /><br />Choose wisely...Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267551928095930528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563144873021010273.post-14948437463592501062011-08-07T10:52:21.055+02:002011-08-07T10:52:21.055+02:00Hi Ben,

There's something about it, although you can't truly point to one specific difference that is the cause.<br /><br />After I finish SFI I'm not sure what I will do. There is a program here at Högskolan i Skövde called Korta Vägen. It's specifically for immigrants with previous higher education (at least 3 years at university level) to study Swedish, Swedish culture, and focus on a career path. Some may want to pick up the career they had in their home country, and so the school "hooks you up", you could say, with a praktik or something like it to have experience in the job market here. It's a good, "short way" to use the resources of foreign scholars in Sweden. It helps them to jump into the job market quickly here instead of taking perhaps several years to get started and really marketable to the Swedish job market.<br /><br />That would start this September. Or I could do further studies, like going to Svenska gruv and A and B. But I think I'll try to do Korta Vägen, I feel the need to be work/feel productive. =)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10816728508733702249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563144873021010273.post-83859138542710876622011-08-05T17:07:09.329+02:002011-08-05T17:07:09.329+02:00Hi Jessica,

Maybe some things didn't cross the water, until they built the bridges ;-)<br /><br />Enjoy your further studies of the beautiful Swedish language. Are you going to continue studying Swedish after you finish SFI?Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267551928095930528noreply@blogger.com
