5 HABITS I Picked Up in SWEDEN That Only Swedes Will Understand! *am I turning Swedish?*
We've talked a lot about Swedish people, their traditions and customs over the past year on this channel, but today we're going to be digging into some of those giveaway signs that someone must be Swedish! How can you tell someone is Swedish during your first conversation with them? Are there certain behaviours, activities or customs to look out for that all Swedes do? Since this is going to be my last upload for a while, I decided why not dig into some of the customs and traditions I've learned to associate with Swedes. I guess you could call it the things I myself have begun to do that confuses all my English friends!

    Rödbetsallad/Beetroot sallad is my favourite condiment. It's easy to make (a small batch) yourself. All you need is a jar of pickled beetroot, and good mayo. (Like Hellman's). You can mix the beetroot sallad with a blender, for a smooth pink mayo/dressing. And you can use it as a base for herring sallad with hardboiled eggs...

    1. really good culture with normal activity is the norm, not the exception (I'm much more limited now due to disability, but love to see people active) 2. everyone supports each other's caffeine addiction (honestly would be annoying if people didn't shut up about coffee/caffeine drinks like they do in the USA. Do people constantly talk about drinking coffee? Or do they simply do it?) 3. July is the holy month (reference to USA everyone taking off during holy days (sometimes with no exception which is big problem)) 3. Expect more trend to vacation throughout year, rather than all in July 4. Lack of light pollution (I feel I already lack this where I am but maybe I just don't understand) 5. Everything is queue to be in queue (which is good system overall, though doesn't make sense when there isn't a queue hence why some places with low amount of people got rid of it where I've lived, but I still see it in places with long queues and/or multiple booths in USA) thanks for sharing, I absolutely love to see #1 and is one of many things that make Sweden so attractive to me.

    I'm so damn tired of foreigners who have been to Copenhagen and then make youtube videos about what they think is Denmark.............. NO, Copenhagen is not Denmark, Denmark is so much more than Copenhagen! but nobody finds out if they only travel to Copenhagen. The cost of living is also completely different, in the main country, than in Copenhagen, as is so much else. If people only visit Stockholm or Malmö, they will never find out what Sweden and the Swedes are like!

    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.

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.
