I got a letter yesterday regarding my SFI (Swedish for Immigrants) application. It was from the school that is close by. I thought I got a place there. I was excited! But it turns out that this is for the first session only. There, I will be tested on the level of Swedish I have acquired. Then based on the results, I will be placed in a class with others of the similar level.
The classes could be held in three other venues. Two other venues are quite easy to get to since I can take buses from here. The other one is not too familiar to me. And of course, this one is just a five minute walk away. I really hope I get placed here. It's much better to walk than to have to commute there.
Anyway, the test will be held this Thursday at 11am. I'm not sure how long it will take and what kind of test it will be. I know, though, that I'll start right at the bottom. I do know a few words but I don't think it's enough. I'm more comfortable starting from the beginning too. Well, let's see how it goes on Thursday.
The funny thing about the letter from the school is that it's written in Swedish. All of it. So ironic, isn't it? To write in Swedish to someone who is applying to learn Swedish? The Swedes have a sense of humour, don't they?
