    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange is, of course, difficult. I am a German living in Sweden. But I do my best to learn the language and customs and to pass them on. Annual festivals and local traditions are something we enjoy sharing and passing on. You may learn german and cooking. Kalmar is near, an historisk city of Sweden.
