Taghreed's future – journalist in Sweden
You started your Sfi-studies by distance on 18th March?
– Yes, as parents, both teachers and pupils, we must take the corona virus seriously.
– I can study whenever it suits me. It works very well. Every week we students have a video meeting with our two teachers. They’re very good. We speak nothing but Swedish then.
What is hard about distance studying?
– We live in a small flat, with two young children. When I’m having a lesson, it isn’t easy to keep an eye on them, my husband has to go out with them. That was a big problem in the cold weather. So they had to have an I-pad to keep them from disturbing me.
Why are you at Kb Mosaik as a trainee?
– Kb Mosaik provides a big service for new arrivals by publishing information and news in languages other than Swedish, especially just now during the corona pandemic.
