  Kannattaa aktivoida omaa ruotsin kielitaitoaan ennen opintojakson alkua mm. "kaivamalla" vanhat ruotsin oppikirjat esille ja kertaamalla sanastoa ja kielioppia. Voit katsoa myös pohjoismaalaisia elokuvia ja sarjoja TV:sta, Yle Areenasta ja muutenkin netistä. Lue iltapäivälehtiä kuten Expressen ja Aftonbladet netistä. Puhu ruotsia perheesi tai kavereidesi kanssa! Puhumalla oppii!
  Muista oma asenteesi on se tärkein! Ruotsin kieli on oikeasti melko helppo ja kiva kieli! (not translated)
