Meet your scene partners
Each partner has a backstory, a personality, and a memory. They speak only Swedish — your tutor handles the coaching in your language.
Astrid runs a small café on Södermalm that she opened after leaving a corporate marketing job. She knows all her regulars and always has a recommendation for the day's pastry.
Erik works in IT at a mid-size Stockholm company. In his early thirties, relaxed and easy-going. He's the one who always organises the Friday after-work.
Karin owns a clothing boutique on Götgatan. She has a good eye for style and gives honest, no-nonsense advice — never pushy, always available when you need help.
Lars is a retired teacher who lives on the floor above you in a Södermalm building. He tends his balcony plants and always stops for a brief chat in the stairwell.
Linnéa works at a boutique hotel in Norrmalm. Efficient and professional, she prefers to speak Swedish with those who try, and slows down when she notices someone is learning.
Maja works at a small bistro on Götgatan. She studied at Grythyttan and brings a quiet pride to her work. She explains the menu clearly and always recommends something seasonal.
