One of the best ways to make friends is go to school and take Swedish language lessons (SFI). That's how I made friends. Of course they aren't Swedish friends but immigrants and expats like us. Making Swedish friends is probably much harder. I haven't a clue where to start...

I moved in Goteborg two weeks ago and I am here for 5 months! I came with a friend and we are willing to discover the city and meet new people!
Feel free to contact me!

There are occasional courses in English if you want to practice a hobby or learn something new; look under Studieförbund and google Sensus, Medborgarskolan, Studiefrämjandet etc. I just checked Sensus and they have Chinese cooking in Engl. and Storytelling.

There is also en expat seminar running in Feb March; family-lab.se/29e_februari_goteborg_expat_in_sweden_0900_-_1200.asp
This could be good ways to find friends; maybe not Swedish but friends in a similar situation, and also eager to make new friends.
hey guys! been here in gothenburg for almost 2 years but the few people i know are 98% swedish. would be nice to meet some other fellow aussies,kiwis or from other english speaking countries.
cheers
