Licorice tasting, wine, selling or 'stroller French'

Evening courses in Stockholm offer an eclectic variety of subjects, ranging from self improvement to tightrope walking... 

• 

  Instead of wine tasting - licorice tasting? Says Eva Levin, Director of Activities at Medborgarskolan in Stockholm: "We pick up what's trendy but also stuff we ourselves like." If licorice tasting is not for you then maybe a course in "Tightrope walking" is?

• Looking for something to do in the evenings? How about a course? If you’re in Stockholm, you can take a course in licorice tasting after work. Eva Levin, Director of Activities at Medborgarskolan (a study organization in Sweden), explains: “Licorice is what it’s all about right now. It’s very popular. During the evening you get to taste raw licorice and learn how to use it in cooking.” If licorice is not your thing, then perhaps “Ceramics for Singles” is? “Sell yourself in 30 seconds”? “Tree climbing”? “Tightrope walking”?

• 

  One of the things many Swedes love but Americans don't: licorice, especially salty licorice.

• If you feel tied to your home with a baby, then “Stroller French” could be for you. Bring your baby in his or her stroller and learn to speak French while strolling with others. “Some of our courses are held in other languages than Swedish to make them more attractive to immigrants,” Eva adds.
