Tom, Itโs great to have a teacher like you! I learned a lot from you, thank you very much! I have also printed class notes and assignments, and purchased a membership to Swedish learning apps (LingQ and Quizlet). I will study hard with you. I have a feeling that I can pass the Swedish exam. :P Thanks again! Boyuan
