My choice of occupation has always been influenced by my strong interest in the Swedish language, its use and structure. I studied to be a teacher, first for the lower grades and later for higher levels. During many years I taught the Swedish language to immigrants, and during the last fifteen years I have been a translator. I have also written textbooks and manuals.

 Apart from languages I am interested in literature, history, animals, nature and music. I also like to design websites, and apart from this site and www.kalmstrom.com  I manage websites for the ceramist  Agneta Larsen and the author Ann-Christin Hensher.

I live with my husband Sigge and our dog Lisa in southern Spain, a welcoming and warm area of Europe that suits us very well.
