The Texas Swedish Club provides a setting in which those interested can get to know their classmates on a more personal basis while practicing Swedish. Students enrolled in the Swedish course are encouraged to meet on their own outside of class for fika (the Swedish word for ‘coffee + conversation’). In addition, the Club provides events, such as film screenings and general meetings, for students to meet and talk with other UT students, including those who have previously taken Swedish and those who are interested in learning Swedish in the future.
