'Meet up with Scandinavia' (FILM)
Some of you are familiar with meetup.com, the online URL that helps groups of people with shared interests plan meetings and form clubs. New York has given birth to one such group with the common denominator being Scandinavian languages. SSCNYC is the Scandinavian social club in NYC you want to join if you enjoy speaking and hearing the languages of Denmark, Norway, Sweden.
SSCNYC on meetup.com: Swedish/Scandinavian Language Monthly Happy Hour and on Facebook: ..meet and chat with others in your Scandinavian language of choice. (You should speak Danish, Norwegian or Swedish, or have actively learned one of these languages)

Allan Chin speaks Danish fluently: "I was born in the U.S. and don't have any Danish roots. But I really wanted to learn Danish, and when I quit my job, I just packed my bags and moved to Denmark. I have lived in Germany before, so Denmark wasn’t that far from that experience. My dream would be if I could teach Nordic languages professionally." Stacey Elva, the meet-up organizer, speaks a little Swedish: "I think I am the only one here that has no Swedish roots whatsoever. I fell in love with the Swedish language when I was a kid and had a Swedish best friend. We started to speak Swedish when we were hanging out."
