You can have a search online for private classes which are cheaper than studying at a University. VERY EXPENSIVE for foreigners. Theres a private company that does it for 20-40 lessons ranging from 9000 SEK - 18000 SEK.Or you can do SFI which is free. I'm starting mine next week and cant tell you what to expect there sorry. All the best!

No sorry I don't. I was lucky to fall into a flat so haven't done any searching myself. Best thing to do is to search on expat sites and maybe classified sites. Sorry can't help you there.
All the best!

There seems to be a huge lack of apartments in Stockholm.
I mean, people are standing in queues for years and it seems to be real luck to get one.
Thanks for support anyway.
When it comes to the language courses, I have also heard about konvux. (not sure if i spell it correct) but people seems to like it.
Hey, keep me updated with regards to the SFI & good luck with it.
take care

I can agree that the courses at Folkuniversitet are good.
I studied there from April till September due to not having a personal number, and thus having no chance of studying with the SFI.
It cost around 4000 kronor per month for the 5 day a week courses but the numbers in the classes were small, around 8 or 9 max and it was the same people for the whole month.
