Hey 👋 I'm Gregg 🙋🏼♂️ and welcome to my channel! Though from the UK 🇬🇧 originally, now I'm living out in Sweden 🇸🇪
I created this channel to share my experiences of the culture, lifestyle and language here. I'm a RU-vidr, podcaster and all around travel enthusiast, so if you're interested in all things travel and tourism, make sure you subscribe for new content two times a week!
You’ll not hear a proper Swede brag… and Given your love of powder and tart quiche… how about Köttbullar and Pytt i Panna with Kroppkakor or Sill … or Chokladbollar
Being patient for a “que” is so European 🙄 That’s why capitalism is the best model. If you can’t satisfy my needs I will go to someone who will dammit. And this is why America is the greatest country in existence.
Falukorv = sausage from Falun. Similar to the American bologna. Vasterbottenost is similar to Parmiggiano. but much better. Expensive because only produced in a small area.
Filmjölk is fermented milk, so is yoghurt. Filmjölk never has added sugar, fruit or berries. Yoghurt often does. The main difference between filmjölk and yoghurt is that they have different milk bacteria (Lactobacillus) added, which makes them taste a bit different. Most yoghurts also have quite a lot of sugar added.
Is SFI rushed? Absolutely, as it is SVA grund. At least in my school the very first moment you show a bit of competence, which one can easily have from having previously learnt a second language since those skills are transferable, they rush you out or make you skip levels, hindering constantly the learning process and taking away any intrinsic motivation one could have to learn Swedish, because at this point, due to their authoritarian approach and not having a single say in my learning process, I just want to get the final "betyg" and forget I ever went there... This is the first time in my life I see a school treating good students so badly.
If you haven't tried it, eat "Rödbetssallad" with Pytti-Panna. Very tasty. No need to eat "Skivade rödbetor" when you can have this instead. Less sour, has the same appearance, and is very tasty.
Hi Brit. hm. You say that the employer must give you three weeks hollyday in the summer,thats right but you as employed are guilty to take three weeks a row in the summer too, so that is a two way roule. That is for to guarante you get a good rest. you cant take a week now and then five times a year. And you can also save your fifth week untill next year, Now im not sure but i think you also can save up to tre weeks (three years) before you take it out.
You don't need to talk Danish. You can talk Swedish to a Dane. We can talk Danish to a Swede. I have a lot of Swedish friends 200 km North East of Gøteborg. Conversation is no problem. It takes 5-10 minutes to adjust. Skånsk is a pain, I agree.
Actually as an American, I tip because it’s just nice. They are serving you and it’s just a bit of a nice gesture. In no way do they confront you if you don’t tip lol
I've.lived here for over a decade and the pizza is garbage. Lacks proper seasoning, proper cheese and the bread is more akin to a cracker. They're all basically middle eastern and central Asians beat guesses at what pizza is.
I have a question regarding Swedish music. If I wear a Sabaton t-shirt, I wont get weird looks or asked "What's Sabaton? pronounced "Say-bay-tun". Are they pretty well known in Sweden?
OMG. One time when I was very tired in the morning, I took the wrong package. Taken out both milk and filmjölk. One for the coffee and the other for the mueslin. So disgusting with filmjölk in the coffee !!!!!
Norwegian "fika" ; Sitting on a mountain top. Or by a forest lake. Happily munching a "Kvikklunch"... (Norwegian improved "KitKat"). Hoping for some peace and quiet. ⛰️😋🍫🌲🫎 (Yes. We're introverts. When sober...)
As a swede I would choose Finland (among the Nordic country's). They do everything like schools, roads, hospitals/healthcare and poletics (most things) better.
No sunshine for two months? where do you live in sweden? we are stuck inside from August till march due to weather and light in Gothenburg!😮you can also say ojda
When you see Swedish movies in Netflix for example you dont get the impression that all Swedes are "stereotypical". They brake laws, cheat, booze up, and get into fights. Maybe all those movies are just wishful thinking of a lifesyle they would prefer. My son dates a Swedish girl and she was loud and feisty.
