Swedex Exam: An Update
Today’s the day! I sat for my Swedex A2 test. On hindsight…Short-circuiting the timeline to proficiency to sit for an exam may not be the wisest thing to do. It certainly was brave of me and I was being a bit of a daredevil, but so too is the higher probability of fail rate. — read more

Well, there’s been a slight change of plan—I’ll be sitting for it in a few days’ time on 19 December! My rather last minute exam application to the Folkuniversitetet in Jönköping, Sweden… — read more
