Språkcaféet

Språkcaféet (Language Cafe Gothenburg)

 The basics: This is a language cafe that is in the middle of the city center, it sells well-priced coffee and cakes in a charming little cafe with Internet wifi too. 

Its real benefits are the fact at 5:30 pm every weekday they host a language evening whereby you can go along and sit at a table with your countries flag on and talk to people in your native language or learn a new language. 

 History: Apparently the cafe started when lots of Spanish-speaking immigrants came over to Sweden in the 1970s and therefore they would get together to learn to speak Swedish whilst also finding other Spanish-speaking people in the city. Then the Language cafe started to continue the idea of people coming together to share their language. 

If you ever are in Sweden, for more information go to the Goteborg tourist information.
