I’m a US citizen and we have the worst healthcare/education. I wish I could afford to move to Sweden! I’ve been learning Swedish for awhile now. You are so blessed to live in Sweden!
yeah like 60 thousand for just one year of school are you KIDDING ME! and they get it all for free? i'm ready to pay extra taxes if it means free school what in the hell.
Elijah Jackson completely agree! Everyone deserves education and healthcare. So many Americans are in student loan debt!! Most can’t afford homes. I just heard on the news recently that 58% of millennials are living with families and roomate because they can’t pay the debt off. College here is a scam..
@@solivagant1170 is not that easy to live there, difficult to find job or an apartment. People are so cold, difficult to make friends, I live in Norway so I know what I'm talking about, but you can try .
Dear Augustus. That is the understatement of the year about Swedish people being difficult to get to know. I have had a Swedish roomate for two and a half years. We have adjoining bedrooms but communication, especially in the morning is a challenge. He prefers that I call him on my phone as he doesn't like to talk before noon
I want to come to sweden can you give more information about your country i want to come to work coz its my dream to livng in sweden plz help me i have whatsap no (+255716151653) am in Tanzania plz and istagram " "Owen david omary"
My parents are both from Tanzania but I was born and raised in the USA. I love Sweden and hope to move there one day; both Sweden and Tanzania have such interesting, sort of insular, cultures and breathtaking landscapes. :)
Me too. I'm interested but scared cuz I don't think I'll make friends because I'm an introvert. And I was hoping that she'd touch on the racism rate because I'm not liking what I've been seeing or hearing so far. If anyone knows, can you inform us please? Thanks in advance.
Hej i live in Sweden as a black citizen but Sweden is literally for swedes,it means there is insane discrimination in job and other areas also. Even you can educate for free and became a doctor and finally at the end you don't have a first priority placement of job due to black skin color. And now am planning to move on to USA for great fortune
Hey do!! I was in Sweden in March to April 2017 doing a foreign exchange program from the states! I definitely made more European friends than Swedish friends, which made me a bit sad. But overall a great experience. Fell in love with FIKA and Swedish cinnamin buns! I wish the coffee was as good in the states and I wish we had FIKA. Compared to NY subway system, the Swedish system was a godsend, I was never late anywhere for those 2 months, except 1 morning. Plus sweden has an amazingly long paternity and maternity leave, and they give women 3 free sessions of IVF . LOved it there, and would go back for another visit!!
My grandma is Swedish & my mom is half Swedish & Mexican and when I was 16 I started to learn Swedish because I wanted to get into a little bit of my background I had it all planned, after I graduated i wanted to get a job then I wanted to be fluent in the language and understand and then I planned on moving but it never happened, I’m 19 I still got time but I just thought I’d put it out there lmao
Where has your channel been hiding all this while? Love your personality. I def agree with most things you said tho. This coming from someone who’s lived in Africa and now in Sweden.
Maggie Omotayo I see by your name that you are Nigerian. I’m also Nigerian currently live in Nigeria, I am looking at relocating to Sweden with my family. Can you please give me some guidelines on how I will go about it? Also what are home prices like over there? For instance, what would it cost to buy a stand alone house that has 3 bedrooms? Thanks in advance.
Hahaha, the Swedish uniform. I worked in Sweden for a while, shooting commercials, but my home base was London. It was amazing flying back to Stockholm from London and seeing how everybody on set looked pretty much exactly the same. I loved it though, made a bunch of friends.
Hi everyone trying to learn swedish out there!! ;) 2 quick questions for you guys: 1. As someone trying to learn swedish, what are the 2 biggest issues you're dealing with? 2. Regarding learning swedish, what would you wish for, more than anything else? Would be really interesting to know :) - looking forward to reading your answers!
Oh wow you have a Tanzanian heritage? Habari 😊 As someone who hopefully will be moving to Sweden this autumn I like almost everything I have researched (boy! I have consumed a lot on youtube): the health care system, the calm/introverted nature, the nature (lakes, greenery), waste management, English proficiency, Fika & all. The only fear I have is the housing system hassle...from what I have been hearing...it's giving me shivers
from the looks of your culture ........it's best to " love america " from there.............to visit Sweden , is something i'd love to do , thanks for sharing...............
Damn... Not sure if I'm Swedish at all. :) I think, perhaps, that I was supposed to have been born in a tropical climate somewhere. You know where lose fitted linen pants and a tank top is your everyday gear. Where you can wear flip-flops to ANY occasion, and where the height of fashionable dressing - like, for a wedding or something - would mean putting a semi buttoned white linen shirt on top of that tank top. :D
Hello from the US! You are so beautiful, by the way! Thank you for teaching me a bit about life in Sweden. I have high hopes of traveling there one day!
Is the idea of not being open to small talk true? If so, I'm in trouble because as a Canadian we are extremely open and chat with everyone. I am a chef and hope to work in Sweden in a smaller area like Gotland or somewhere along the sea. I have always been fascinated with Sweden because of ice hockey, Husqvarna and of course ABBA. We are use to long cold winters too.
hhh keep in mind the depression and long dark winter , one million people on anti depressive medicine , rasicm is in every level in society, education, job and even social relationsships
I'll bite on the racism part. Let's try the counterfactual approach. Which culture in this world will readily cede its land, fortunes, job market, traditions, identity and public safety over the span of two generations, without having some occasional expressions of resentment and in-group consolidation take place as a result? We are a culture at the edge of the secular-individualist-expressive ID scale. We're currently busy pushing in a new demographic, overwhelmingly from cultures of the polar opposite type, maxed out on the religious-collectivist-survival markers. General education level is low. It's an unprecedented and irreversible reshaping of our future as a people, and a huge strain on our state, as we give away tax money and get segregation (our fault), gang shootings (our fault), bombings (our fault) and torture rape of minors (our fault) in return. Which to many comes as an understandable shock given the peaceful, modern, non-judgemental and crime-free state of the Somali, Syrian and Afghan etc societies we are hinging our own future on today. All while we lecture ourselves and take lectures from others, that we a) suck, b) have little to no moral right to demographic self-preservation, in a world with 1000-fold our population and c) will come out of the demographic experiment smelling like a midsummer meadow, given how everybody loves our Swedish model. And, closeted bigots that we are, we continue voting for more of this exciting migration pattern to this day, under the racist banner of global solidarity. I note how Saudi Arabia, Hungary, Japan and China have fortress-like border policies, and in return have much fewer people enter there to tell them about their racist ways, on some quota-based public radio channel. I can't wait to asylum-migrate myself. just so I can blame the host country for not fulfilling my fantasy-laced expectations, like any normal desperate refugee would. I do encounter a good many foreigners these days, who clearly (sometimes demonstratively) didn't come here for their deep love and respect for us, but rather for things that we have and that they have their sights on. And we were kindof here first, something peoples across time and place tend to make a fuss about when push comes to shoves. Which in turn makes them racist provided their pigmentation correlates to a temperate or polar latitude. But sure be my guest - keep spreading the word. Sweden sucks and Swedes suck so don't come here. If you want to walk the extra mile and launch a rescue mission to retrieve some like-minded hostile dwellers stuck in our depressive mire as well, feel free to knock your self out.
I understand what you say completely,and it's not racist at all.i'm so sorry about the crimes you mentioned.can you say what is the general attitude toward someone who moves there for work,respects the culture,speaks swedish,doesn't expect anything handed to them? PS:I had never heard that Swedes were racist.
När jag skall förklara ordet lagom för någon från ett annat land brukar jag oftast referera till mat och att all mat på bordet skall räcka "lag om". Så ta inte för mycket och inte för lite :-)
So lucky to have free schooling, especially university. i am early 30s and still paying back student loans for college from my 20s. i would go for the phd if i lived there. i wonder if i move there will it be free or only for citizens?
I was born and raised in the Netherlands and I'm so done with this country. Alot of young people who are born and raised here are craving to leave. Whenever I can leave, I would and I am going to Sweden to live in Nature since we barely have that. I'm trying to learn as much as I can so adapting won't be too hard. I really can not wait!
Yngwie Malmsteen is the greatest guitarist of All time.. From Stockholm, Sweden as well. Im interested in Scandinavian countries. Seems like Y'all have it made!
I will proberly move to Sweden in a few years. I love the cold climate and the blonde blue eyed beautiful Swedish women. They are so beautiful. Thank you for the video ❤
Sweden is so beautiful country, and i need to get chance to go in because My living conditions are not good and I am not getting a job to meet my need , so I need help .
Hi Tina! Thanks for the information. I haven't checked your other videos yet, but I'll still ask. lol How can I apply for a scholarship in Sweden? Which are the requirements to apply for a Swedish temporal residency? Which are the major industries in Sweden? I would like to know if i could actually work with my chosen career in Sweden. Do companies usually hire foreigners? What would you recommend before learning swedish? I'm just 14 years old, but since a few years ago, I've dreamt of moving to Sweden. I'm Salvadorian, universities don't offer exchange programs, so i'll have to find an institution that could grant me an opportunity to study in Sweden at least for some time. I speak three languages, i'm interested in volunteering and I have distant relatives who emigrated to Sweden a long time ago (my grandaunt) and other whom were born there (my first cousins once removed and my second cousins). Could these help me to apply? Thanks for your help!
You're very sympathetic and pretty. Here in Denmark I never notice problems with blacks - most Danes go for the personality - and you're so sweet. Same as in Sweden, I suppose. I myself have 2 "kids" (now 19 boy and 18 girl) with my ex-wife from Cuba, black. They never have problems with their color here. All depends on your personality - life is secure here, with people caring like in Sweden. They have loads of friends. Never care about the color - they never think about it - only when their friends or I myself joke about it - like we joke with anything else like about people from Jutland. Lovely to live here in Scandinavia :-) (Finn-Denmark)
As far as Swedes dressing alike,all I know is that my Swedish has dressed in Black as far back as I can remember. Once in a while, if he wants to go lighter, he picks out something in off black which is a lighter color. Ha ha
To say that it is easy to recognize a Swede and say that we should dress in a kind of uniform, this only applies to Stockholmers. I live 120 km north of Stockholm in a city called Kiruna and we do not dress like Stockholmers. When it comes to not talking to strangers and it is difficult to make Swedish friends. This only applies to Stockholmers and it is because they are what we up here in Lapland call high-quality blisters and think they are special. We in Kiruna are easy to start talking to and easy to make friends with and I have heard this from many tourists and those who moved to Sweden and first lived in Stockholm but then moved up to Kiruna, they have all said that here in Kiruna meet you quickly make new friends and everyone wants to talk to you if you go to a disco or a pub, for example.
OMG at first I thought you were gonna change the language of your channel xD ASSÅ DU ÄR TILLBAKAAAAAA WHERE YA BEEN GUURL! Gosh va kul video att lyssna på :)
@@chandhinichenthilkannan108 If they have to move to a country they are not native to, they are immigrants. I just find it funny how white people tend to be expats but anotne else are immigrants.
Phill Att non whites are expats period. The immigrants complaints is due to broke people trying to enter new countries and move while being a burden. Expats are ppl with money who move immigrants are broke they add color to keep ppl at each other’s throats
Immigrants are usually defined as people who have come to a different country in order to live there permanently, whereas expats move abroad for a limited amount of time or have not yet decided upon the length of their stay. Please use Google. Besides this definition does not identify any racial group, that's a person bias for who ever thinks is a white vs black label. As I am BLACK AND PROUD, I can use either definition based on what my decision is. As I am interested in working and living in Sweden and have yet to decide whether it's worth staying I used the definition of expat.
Tack! Det här är mitt land / This is my land. Men vi får jobba på kläderna / We have to work on the dress code I'm a pale man but so happy a colo(u)rful female posted this video - to me, this is what I find pride in as a Swede- equality. We still have a long way to go but we are getting there. The land of the free. For real. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wRUWNCxg6Y4.html
Question, I follow a few black female youtuber's living in prodominantly caucasian countries. They seem to have very similiar takes on their experiences. Do you find that it is easy to have a social life and date in your country? Do you feel you're accepted socially in your country?
Cubana Portland Thank you darling! Diversity in city's like Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and student towns is high. In places like Stockholm you can find people with roots all over the world and the numbers seem to be growing. Racism exists in Sweden and it is mostly seen in social media comment sections, news stories etc which may be a backlash from refugees immigration and seeing the demographics changing from all white to being more diverse. I have dealt with some ignorant comments in my life but nothing major that stands out since I surround myself with good people. Thanks for watching ☺️
@@lottie1144 I think she's just asking because it'd be easier to visit an area in Sweden where they will speak English. And if you're hardworking and not a leech I don't see the problem.
No actually there are many fashion choices in Sweden but I don’t know why every influencer or like famous person wears the same things. And they post it on social media and suddenly everyone wants to wear that. I think many people don’t wear what they actually would like to wear because they are like scared ti be judged
I am from Canada and is considering to move to another diversity friendly European country with easygoing people and a chill lifestyle..Not sure what city and country to take a chance with
Nice! Thx for sharing! Tip: lock the focus of your camera and use it in manual mode - so you will not have this noise of the lens found in and out focus anymore. Keep up with the good vids. Cheers,
