Swedish Lessons in Manchester

Get Started and Learn Swedish

Swedish: the official language of both Sweden and Finland, with a community of 9 million speakers. This Nordic language shares similarities with Norwegian and Danish, making Swedish a popular language to learn for native speakers of either. Swedish is currently the largest North Germanic language by number of speakers. How many will you connect with?

For instance, Greater Manchester’s Jewish community is the largest outside of London, and the city’s Chinatown, centred around the impressive imperial arch, is the second largest in the UK. The Pakistani community is especially prevalent and is the fastest growing in the city (followed by ethnic Africans), so Manchester's most widely spoken non-English language is Urdu. Other common languages used throughout the city are Arabic, Cantonese, Polish, Bengali and Somali, according to a 2014 report by the University of Manchester.

Manchester is also a city visited by millions of international tourists every year, so if you are working in the tourism industry, knowledge of another language will certainly come in handy. Manchester Airport currently handles 20 million passengers a year, 71% of whom come from European countries (mostly Germany, Spain, Austria and France) and 9% from North America, bringing a combined total of nearly £670m to the UK economy in 2018! Learn a second language to help make these tourists feel welcome and comfortable in Manchester, so that they want to come back to the city again and again!

Where to Practise Foreign Languages in Manchester: Classes with a professional instructor are essential to making progress with any foreign language. However, you will also need to practise outside the class to truly improve your listening and speaking skills. So, why not join a meet-up group to get together with like-minded people who share a passion for the language and culture you are learning? The most popular group in the region is International Students Manchester & Salford. They welcome anyone (not just students) who wants to practise a foreign language, such as Spanish, German, French, Japanese, and even English as a second language. So, whether you want to meet new friends, play games, take part in local trips, talk about cultural differences or discuss important questions about life, you should join this group to develop your new language skills!

Where to Study Foreign Languages in Manchester: Those interested in learning a foreign language can take up courses in the dozens of language schools available in the city. And if you would like to demonstrate your language skills with a certificate, for example, you will be glad to know there are many places around Manchester that offer you the possibility of sitting for an internationally recognised exam. Also, there are many institutions, such as higher education establishments, that offer programmes in different languages. The University of Manchester has language courses in 10 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, French and Japanese. Meanwhile, Abbey College of Manchester provides the possibility to study French, German or Spanish! If you would like to enrol in one of these programs, please consider that most of them ask their students to have at least an intermediate level of proficiency in the chosen language. Contact us to take the Language Trainers Preparation Course, a very useful programme when you are planning to start another (longer and more difficult) language course and require proof of your proficiency. Our native-speaking tutors are professionals with experience who will guide you towards fluency via tailor-made lessons that suit your abilities and requirements! For instance, we can help you to get ready for an official language exam like the Goethe-Zertifikat, which you can sit at the Examination Centre run by the University of Manchester.


Language Jobs in Manchester: Learning a second language will look great on your CV and will certainly broaden your professional horizons in Manchester. After taking a reasonable amount of lessons with us, you can start to take advantage of the many business opportunities present in the city. For example, you can apply for a job at an international company based in Manchester, like Google, the BBC, Kellogg’s or Thomas Cook. And if you are studying an Asian language, you will have an added advantage: The Greater Manchester Business Survey of 2017 showed there is a lack of people who speak the languages of China, South Asia or the Middle East and companies need people who speak them to facilitate contact with international markets. Also, this report demonstrates that jobs which require knowledge of Arabic, Cantonese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese or Panjabi are in high demand, commanding annual salaries of up to £35,000. Take advantage of these professional opportunities and start learning a language today!

Language Culture in Manchester: When acquiring a new language, you will also experience the culture of its community in a different, deeper way. Manchester is a diverse and multinational city that offers many opportunities to attend different cultural events, parties and festivals on a regular basis. Learn the language of the culture that most interests you to make the most out of their respective activities! For instance, you can attend Manchester Mega Mela, the largest celebration of South Asian Culture in the north of England. Music, dance, food and traditional arts and crafts bring the sights, sounds and spicy aromas of South Asia to Platt Fields Park each year. And for cinema lovers, there is the Manchester International Festival, which produces and presents movies from different countries and backgrounds every year: the best new documentaries and feature films from Spanish-speaking Latin America come to Manchester, so if you are studying Spanish, it is a great opportunity to put your new listening skills into play! Or get ready to literally paint the town red… and green, blue and every other colour! The air at Manchester’s Heaton Park bursts with bright shades at the Indian Holi festival of togetherness.

Whatever your reason for learning a new language, we have the right course for you! Our native instructors will tailor the lessons to your learning style and needs. Get in touch and we will arrange for a tutor to go to your home or workplace. You can also take your classes in a public place if you prefer, like the Manchester Public Library on Main Street, Midtown Cafe at the Beacon on Elm Street or Restoration Cafe on Hanover Street.

And if you live on the outskirts of Manchester, let us know. We have top-notch instructors that can get started today in nearby cities, such as Bradford, Sheffield, Liverpool, Leeds and Stockport.

Send us an enquiry and take one of our language level tests, so we can see where you stand and start designing a personalised course for you!
