My name is Sofia Berg, I'm new here and just stumbled upon this website while researching on the topic of midsummer. I have to give a speech on how to celebrate a Swedish midsummer, and in this speech I have to have interviewed an expert in the field. So, I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on somebody who is an expert in the field of Swedish/Scandinavian history, here in Chicago?

It would help me a lot if anyone could give me a tip!

 

Thank you very much!!

Sofia

I am seeking someone to help me learn the Finnish language here in the Chicago Land area. I've been looking for Chicago classes to take but I haven't found any. I've emailed some Chicago land tutors but they have yet to respond. I'm looking for someone to meet twice a week (public place, anywhere convenient for you)  for maybe an hour or less to help me. Tutor will of course be compensated. I'm planning a trip to visit Finland this year and would love to be fluent in the language to enhance my experience when I visit.
Any resources and responses would be greatly greatly appreciated.
Thank you!]]> urn:uuid:D7CE5A2A-3FF5-6B5F-235EBBE0335D40DB <![CDATA[Finnish and Norwegian Interpreters Needed]]> 2007-09-05T15:31:59Z Seeking Finnish and Norwegian Speakers to work from home.

I was so happy to find this site and to realize I am not the only Scandinavian here. Feels little lonely sometimes to make pulla by myself, and no one knows what it is all about..you know...kylma maito ja pulla lauantaina saunan jalkeen.
I have to go and find that Swedish store in Chicago. Maybe I can get some real RYE BREAD from there.  The bread here is basically pullaa.

I would need to have a certified translations of some Finnish certificates.  So I am looking for a translator from Finnish to English. All help would be very much appreciated.


Warm Regards to All...
