Low-pressure, community-focused intermediate heritage-speaker circle with mini lessons! Free and open to any Vietnamese Heritage Speaker.
In collaboration with Nguyễn Huyến, we are delighted to invite you to a new speaker circle for intermediate-level heritage Vietnamese speakers! This is a free, low-pressure space created specifically for our community to connect, practice, and grow together.
Many Vietnamese Americans reach a point in their language journey where they can navigate daily "home" conversation but struggle to express complex ideas, understand formal nuances, or dive deep into cultural history. This conversation circle is designed to bridge that gap in a low-pressure, community-focused environment. The focus of the circle is conversation among participants, with brief mini-lessons incorporated to help participants continue developing their Vietnamese skills.
This circle is specifically curated for intermediate-level heritage speakers, perfect for those who have completed our Level 2 Vietnamese Language course or have a solid foundation from home. If you can hold a basic conversation but want to explore deeper cultural nuances and linguistic skills, we would love to have you.
This opportunity might be for you if:
You can understand the main ideas of most conversations
Introduce yourself and family in detail
Decode and pronounce most tone marks and letters correctly

Hosted by Nguyễn Huyến, a heritage speaker who honed their fluency during their time in Vietnam, these sessions offer a unique blend of linguistic passion and lived experience. Huyến is passionate about the Vietnamese language and is dedicated to helping others in the diaspora reclaim their language to better connect with family and heritage.

Enjoy this classic Swedish lunch tradition—just like you'd find in Sweden. A delicious, scenic way to experience Swedish culture!
Sillunch at the Swedish Club – A Monthly Tradition with a View!
Join us every first Friday of the month for Sillunch in our welcoming Three Crowns Lounge, where tradition, culture, and culinary appetites come together—alongside some of the most iconic views in Seattle.
This classic Swedish lunch includes a delicious spread of pickled herring, boiled potatoes, crispbread, and seasonal sides—everything you’d expect from a traditional Swedish sillbord. You’ll also enjoy a full Fika table, complete with coffee and a rotating selection of desserts to finish your meal the sweet way.
It’s all just $25 (plus tax) for a cozy, culture-rich dining experience that’s crisp, clean, and fun—just like the Swedish way.
Grab your tickets today and come hungry! RSVP encouraged!
What is a sillbord or Sillunch?
A sillbord (literally “herring table” in Swedish) is a traditional Swedish buffet-style spread centered around pickled herring, usually accompanied by classic sides like:
Boiled potatoes
Sour cream and chives
Crispbread (knäckebröd)
Cheese
Hard-boiled eggs
Various sauces and garnishes
Sometimes cold cuts or smoked fish
It's a staple of Swedish celebrations, especially during holidays like Midsummer, Christmas (Julbord), and Easter, but can also be enjoyed at special lunches like Sillunch.
Think of it as a smaller, more focused cousin of the full smörgåsbord, with herring taking center stage.
