Hej Anders, my name is Johanna im from Namibia and now staying in Boxholm Sweden. I’m married to a Swedish, I would like to ask when you were in Namibia was your daughter learning Swedish in school , we have a soon 5 year old son and we are soon going back to Namibia we will stay there for few months, and I would like my son to continue learning Swedish so he can’t forget, I can speak basic Swedish I’m currently studying SFI for 6 months now.
Hi Johanna,
We moved to Namibia 2011 when my daughters were 7 and 13 and we returned 2015. My daughters were of course already fluent in Swedish and we did speak Swedish at home (more and more mixed with English though…). My oldest daughter studied Swedish as distance-learning (grade 9) during her last year, which made it possible for her to continue studying Swedish as an A-language in Swedish high-school/gymnasium. This seems to be available only from grade 6. https://www.skolverket.se/skolformer/utbildning-utomlands/svensk-utbildning-i-utlandet/distansundervisning We used Sofia Distans: http://www.sofiadistans.nu/
In the old days Omaruru was a Swedish-speaking town but unfortunately those days are long gone. Today, I don’t think you will find any Swedish teaching in any Namibian school. Perhaps you can find a Swedish person who could give extra lessons? Here is another possibility but check how much it will cost! It is from 6 years old: http://www.svenskadistans.se/
Good luck!
May my childern join this team?
