Such great shots again! Thank you, Guy. I also have a hard time with the Swedish language (jag kommer från Tyskland). When I have a written text in front of me, I can understand it reasonably well. But when I hear the same text, I understand almost nothing. I find pronunciation really difficult, but it gets better with time. A good exercise is to sing Swedish songs 😉 Bästa hälsningar från Småland och grattis till 1.000 Followers. ❤🙂
Yes the reading and then understanding is maybe the easy part... The listening is different indeed, although I notice I get the basics of what they say nowadays. Slowly improving haha. The "singing" of the language is really the hardest part.... but we will get there haha. Thanks so much!
Almost eight years ago I moved from an urban area in Canada to a remote rural area. It took at least one year to find enough work to survive and three years to feel settled… and I’m not even having to learn a different language. I know it’s difficult to not feel impatient, so patience and learn ing to just let the frustrations go, have been the best things I’ve learned. It is absolutely beautiful here, so I go to the beach after work each day to meditate and stay mentally healthy, and work slowly and patiently on my plans. It’s slowly coming together!
@@tammasgrogan3482 Oh wauw! Yes maybe even inside bigger countries (maybe also small ones) there can be quite some cultural differences I assume. I am patient and I am positive about what is coming and also about the evolving of this all. So all will be good and feeling better in time 🙏🏼 Follow your dreams and you will also get there 😊🙏🏼🙏🏼
I've been watching your videos for a while now. I actually think you are adapting really well in a few short months. But as I know a lot of Dutch people I know you are fast learners, knows several languages and are hard working, you will have no problem integrating into the Swedish society. Good luck, and enjoy the winter.
Thanks for the positive words! Yeah we may can pick it up “quicker” because of our own language. But still it’s so important that we learn it to communicate and understand people around us 😊 But we will get there 😉👌🏼
Don,t give up you're doing great al l three of you! Be positive,work hard,enjoy life and the awesome nature! This is normal and it goes up and down,with al the things you have to arrange and learn, especially the language! I think your mother has it more difficult,and I hope she's gonna adept to the Swedish lifestyle. 😀🤞👍❤️🤘
It's aways difficult to move to another country. Thank you for sharing all the ups and downs. I moved to the UK 9 years ago from Romania. But luckily I spoke very good English so language wasn't a big issue, but still I wasn't perfect at it. Everything was new and strange, for the shops and way of doing things, to places to go and visit. It took us a good couple of years to feel somewhat settled. Maybe if I had learnt another language I would have moved to another (sunnyer 😅) country. All the best to you and your family!
Thanks for your comment! Really appreciated 🙏🏼 yeah I think the whole change of all you know to the unknown is quite something and overwhelming in some ways, that means a little time to adjust too 😉 Haha yeah the UK is not know for it’s sunny warm weather 🙃😉 Thanks and for you too 😊
Thank you Guy for your beautiful videos and your honest reflections. 🙏❤ Your swedish language will improve over time, the more you use it in daily life situations. Most Swedes are willing to help newcomers with the language barrier, so dont be too shy trying your wings. Keep up the good work and the spirit! Greetings from Göteborg
Thanks Victor, oh yes I try all I know in Swedish. Keep practicing and learning 😊 But it’s so important to know it. Honesty is the way to go, also for others who want to do the same… Thanks for watching and your kind comment 🙏🏼😊
I lived in Denmark for 5 years when I was young, my parents moved there so I even had to go to school there. Was back in the 1970 ies if I remember right. I went to see the Dark Side of the Moon Concert and had lots and lots of fun in Copenhagen where we lived in a suburb.
A famous Dutch female football player Lieke Martens played in Göteborg for Kopparbergs Göteborg FC aprox 7-10 years ago. In only 1-2 seasons her swedish was really impressive. She sounded like she lived i Sweden for mutch longer. Keep strugling it will come.
Very good and amazing photo. There are always a good and lots of opportunities in living in Sweden, just wait and your time will come. I am living in Sweden for 25 years and I am enjoying it everyday of my life.
I think you’re all doing well. The Swedish will pick up faster and faster. I had much of what you’re experiencing for the first 6-8 months I was in Sweden, and then suddenly it was just home. Hang in there!
Nice to hear your honesty about moving to Sweden and sharing both the upsides and the things to overcome, it's good to know that about learning the language, I need to work harder at it, loving those Sun rise/Sun set photos, really wow! amazing shots, that would look awesome on my wall as a print... maybe could be an idea to make it possible for people to buy prints from your website, keep up the great vids and being positive, it's a big move, would be nice to feel happy all the time, but we are only human and sometimes just getting out of bed the wrong way can make things look different... hope I make it back there soon and can catch up on more details.🤞😀
Yeah it’s really something that will help to learn Swedish 😊🙏🏼 Keep practicing mate 😉 Yeah that’s something I am working on to have a little webshop for photo prints 😉 But that takes some time still 🙃🙈 Yeah I guess it’s also important to tell these things, it’s also part of this massive change in our lives 😊 a good change with some hurdles 😉 That would be amazing! Definitely wanna hang out with a coffee 😃
Congrats on 1K! Helemaal verdiend. Blijft verfrissend hoe je beide kanten van het immigreren bespreekt - denk ook dat je voor een groot deel je niet kan voorbereiden of wat er op je af komt of hoe je dat ervaart, maar je weet waar je het voor doet! Keep it up & liefs voor Hadassa & je moeder!
@@LenethWitte Aww dank jullie wel 🥰 Klopt je weet het ook niet, tot je het probeert 😉 Het kan ook niet allemaal altijd goed gaan lijkt me met zulke dingen. Dus ja als ik er andere zo mee kan helpen zou fijn zijn zodat andere misschien net iets meer voorbereid kunnen zijn 😊 Tot snel! Groetjes ook daar 😃
Yeah!!! 1.04K Congrats!! Grattis!! Love the shots with the drone, the fog is amazing, thank you for your tips to really learn the Swedish language. Here in holland we also have an amazing autumn with sun and beautiful sky. Greetings to you family and lots of love to the lovely dog 🙂
Wow, hej på Er!!!! You're soo admirable! Learning a new language when you're adult is a challenge for sure. Sure it's a benefit to learn before arrival, but you will get there, no worries. And, as you said, probably better up north where people don't automatically start speaking English as they tend to do in larger cities. You will also notice as time goes by, that the Swedish language vary quite a lot. We have so many different dialects!!! Even for a native it can be difficult to understand some of the dialects, they can sometime consist of words only known to "locals", haha! Greetings from Göteborg, Katarina
Aww thanks! 😊 Yeah it’s not every day easy to learn haha but for sure we will get there 💪🏼💪🏼 We make progress and that’s a good feeling. Oh yes there are quite some dialects as I have heard (similar in the Netherlands), but as we learn the move middle of Sweden dialects we have to stay here now 🤪🤣🤣 Have a great week!
Hi Guy, I am impressed by your serious and honest try to learn Swedish. I am sure you will manage it all right over time but understand that it takes time. I recognice your struggle in my own son. We are Swedish but after he met a Finnish girl they moved to Finland. He was in a school learning ”Finnish for Immigrants” the first years. Today both of them have a job and they have a little son. They try to not speak english at home, just swedish and finnish. And my son manage to understand and communicate in Finnish in the society, social and work activities. So be patient, it will come. One more advice. They lived in Uleåborg (far north of Finland) the first years, but now they live in Helsinki. It was much easier for my son to find a job in Helsinki. The labourmarket is broader and demand various skills in a big city. So maybe it is a good idea to try to find a job in a Stockholm based company, with interests in Norrland. And you can work on distance from Sollefteå. Wish you and your girlfriend all happiness and good luck! 🍀🍀🍀☀️
If we want to continue to build a life here we need to! And for me personally I want to learn it, just because people here speak Swedish and I can’t ask them to change there language for me 😊 Yeah Finland is also something different and maybe more difficult 🤔 So good he has learned it and get around now there 😃👍🏼 That’s definitely a possibility, but I don’t like the computer that much for work.. so I don’t know if that’s something for me haha. But for now the work I do is fine 😊 Thanks for sharing your thoughts though 🙏🏼
@ yeah the Finnish language is said being the second hardest language to learn after chinese. 😅 But I will try to do a course anyway, so i can manage some social talk with my grand son and my sons girfriends family in Finnish. Oh, I did not mean that you should change working on a computer at the desk. I was thinking of companies (or authorities or universities) that are working with forest issues. And have interest in your practical skills on place i the north. 😊 But it is great to hear that you have got a lot of work to be done on the trail. 🙋♀️
Hi from Finland! Thank you for another beautiful and interesting video. Happily swedish (my mothertongue) and dutch aren't too far apart and share many words. Think if you had chosen to move to Finland and been faced with the finnish language 😱. Kämpa på, det blir nog bra! 😀
Yeah but still there are quite some differences with pronouncing words as the letters are used in different sounds. Some letter combinations also are really different haha. Yeah Finnish is next level 🙃🤪 Thanks for your comment 😊
Hej! We’re learning Swedish ourselves! ☺️ are your classes provided by the council? Are they free or paid? Thanks for the update video and amazing quality footage. It’s always nice to see from that area of Sweden; it’s where we’re hoping to move one day. Also that escape room puzzle looked fun! 🔐
Hej, a very good start, we did it too in the Netherlands. Yes the classes are free, so that’s a really good service 😃 Thanks for watching 😊 It is really an amazing area to live in 😍😍 So maybe see you soon 😉👌🏼
Keep it up! You got this! You would've had struggles anywhere you moved to, so at least you have to overcome all of this for something really special in return, right? And by the sounds of it, your Swedish is going great! I just hope we'd be able to join you and the community there at some point, as it looks amazing. We're just packed with anxieties right now haha! The biggest one being that it will be really tough for us to find work there that would be enough to live off of. From what I gathered from this week's video, I get that we should better start learning our Swedish as soon as possible if we plan to stay somewhere in the countryside, especially the further away we go from Stockholm, right? Or would English be enough to get by in the beginning? Thanks for documenting your journey here and on instagram. Love looking at the pics you post on there!
Thank you! 🙏🏼 Yes learn as much Swedish as possible before you come. Of course people here also speak English, but if you look for a job where you have to work with other (local) people I think the Swedish is even more important 😉 Oh yes we do get a lot in return for the struggles, wouldn’t change this whole journey for being stuck in the Netherlands again! 😃 So it’s all word the ups and downs, I think it also means that we have a more clear understanding of this country and also what we like and don’t like for the future. Thanks for liking the video and photos! I do my best to capture the beauty of nature here and also be honest about the process we’re going through 😊
I'm surprised that you didn't research Sweden before you moved here. Of course it'll be different from NL. Learning Swedish is a must and beside courses you should sing songs in Swedish (youtube with lyrics), read children's books and books in "easy Swedish", watch Swedish TV: news, films with subtitles on the TV.
Oh we did research, but until you are actually in the country and surrounded by the people you see how it really is. I think you can’t be 100% prepared for all you go through. We also went quite fast through the whole process of actually moving. But yeah easy Swedish is definitely helping to begin with 👍🏼
Thank you so much! I do my best 😉 And I think the nature here helps with creating these beautiful shots and films 🤩 Yes I really enjoy using the DJI mini 3 pro 👍🏼
Thanks for the input. Appreciated! I'm thinking about getting a drone, and I'm having a bit of a hard time choosing which one.🤔 And learning a new language is not easy. I think your girlfriend? already has a good pronunciation after such a short time.👍 Stort lycka till framledes ! 🌻
@@AnomaliSWE If you want to be versatile and not too heavy then maybe the Mini 4 pro? It’s newer then the 3 so should be better 😉 Haha yes she does a good job! 👍🏼👍🏼
@@lifeof_guy Have you tried flying your drone in freezing temperatures? they don't seem to be able to handle more than -10. Usually it's most beautiful outside when it's colder than that in this country.🥶😅 I have looked at both the DJI mini 3 pro and 4.👍
@ Euhm no not yet… haha but let’s see if it will freeze haha… I will see what happens in the winter 😉 I hope I can capture some of the beautiful snowy/freezy weather 🤩
6:48 If you are serious at being here long term, Ja du behöver lära dig svenska för att kunna prata med kunder. Jag ser inte poängen med att komma hit om man ska ignorera språket, svenskar förstår Engelska väldigt väl men väldigt få är duktiga på att prata för att vi så sällan pratar Engelska (annat än med utlänningar). So Yes, people that are gonna be here long term or permanently really should learn the language. Don't worry about making mistakes, people here will gladly help you learn. We also have no problems pointing towards fun media to use to learn the language. I personally would recommend anything written by Astrid Lindgren, pretty much all her stories have been books that have had other forms of media like movies and TV shows (one of my favourites is still Ronja Rövardottar, had a childhood crush on her)..
Yes indeed, that’s why we want to learn! I think that’s a really important thing to do. Immigration is one thing but integration is another.. and surely want to do that too 😊 Definitely will look in to that! Thanks for the tips 😊😊
@@lifeof_guy No problems, I like sharing Swedish culture with others. One nice thing with Astrid Lindgreen is that some of the writings give you a look back in time (thanks to tv/movie adaptiations), like Barnen i Bullerybyn adaptations which are based on late 1920's Sweden. Emil i Lönneberga adaptations depict Sweden in the late 19th century. pippi långstrump is much more much more contemporary, those adaptations depicting Sweden at the end of the 1960's. There's also loads of other Swedish cultural things, some really iconic childhood shows like Petson & Findus, Trazan och Banarne, Dr Mugg, Bröderna Fluff, Bolibompa (almost felt embarassed I forgot about Bolibompa). We also had loads of foreign cartoons like Disneydags that showed a bunch of Disney stuff. Srry I tend to go on a tangent when writing about stuff I am passionate about. Hope this gives you some more ideas of stuff to look into.
Dont give up, for us it was also more difficult than we thought, but the penny will drop. You can also listen to the podcast ' Henry läser Wikipedia ' which will help you to at least understand Swedish better.
You have a talent for making movies with sound and pictures from nature. Why dont you try to speak - slowly with pauses and also like in the end - no talk - you show the beatiful panorma and music. This could be investigated and explored. Yes I have lived in Holland from october to april 1994 and learned that you have a rainy season...rain every day...if not in the morning - in the evening. This is different from Sweden.
Thank you! 😊 haha yeah I sometimes try it in the intro but I always feel I sound horrible 🙈🤣 but who knows… maybe one day 😉 Yeah very rainy season… just in general more rain then in Sweden 🙈
Its going to be great.. but with periods of.. why did we move here!? First you have to survive your first winter.. people up there think its nothing.. only different seasons and quite normal! Soo.. the more rural one lives, the more one need to be prepared for winter.. self reliant.. in the begining as a foreginer reliant on nice neighbours.. to give advice! And then to language.. the more rural area.. people do understand english, they are not that used to talk english! In anyway, Dutch and Swedish is cousine languages.. we share a lot.. its the same type of language.. old Norse and old Frisian was our old relatives! First one learn words and pronunciation, next to put up whole scentenses, (its supose to be similar?)/(and both of our language have influences of "high german")! It supose to be.. first a strugle with words, pronunciation, building scentenses.. then after a while.. one notice all the similaritys! Second.. one learn about false friends.. words that is similar but have shifted meaning after 500 years!
Haha yes we do! I think we will survive that, the rental apartment should help in that 😉 But yes let’s see how we deal with the cold,snow, darkness.. The language has indeed similarities but also a lot of different things so we just have to get familiar with those and then we will definitely get on a good level with speaking etc 😊 thanks for your input 😊

Hi Guy, I am impressed by your serious and honest try to learn Swedish. I am sure you will manage it all right over time but understand that it takes time.
I recognice your struggle in my own son. We are Swedish but after he met a Finnish girl they moved to Finland. He was in a school learning ”Finnish for Immigrants” the first years. Today both of them have a job and they have a little son. They try to not speak english at home, just swedish and finnish. And my son manage to understand and communicate in Finnish in the society, social and work activities. So be patient, it will come.
One more advice. They lived in Uleåborg (far north of Finland) the first years, but now they live in Helsinki. It was much easier for my son to find a job in Helsinki. The labourmarket is broader and demand various skills in a big city. So maybe it is a good idea to try to find a job in a Stockholm based company, with interests in Norrland. And you can work on distance from Sollefteå. Wish you and your girlfriend all happiness and good luck! 🍀🍀🍀☀️
If we want to continue to build a life here we need to! And for me personally I want to learn it, just because people here speak Swedish and I can’t ask them to change there language for me 😊
Yeah Finland is also something different and maybe more difficult 🤔 So good he has learned it and get around now there 😃👍🏼
That’s definitely a possibility, but I don’t like the computer that much for work.. so I don’t know if that’s something for me haha. But for now the work I do is fine 😊 Thanks for sharing your thoughts though 🙏🏼
@ yeah the Finnish language is said being the second hardest language to learn after chinese. 😅 But I will try to do a course anyway, so i can manage some social talk with my grand son and my sons girfriends family in Finnish.
Oh, I did not mean that you should change working on a computer at the desk. I was thinking of companies (or authorities or universities) that are working with forest issues. And have interest in your practical skills on place i the north. 😊
But it is great to hear that you have got a lot of work to be done on the trail. 🙋♀️

Thank you so much! I do my best 😉 And I think the nature here helps with creating these beautiful shots and films 🤩 Yes I really enjoy using the DJI mini 3 pro 👍🏼
Thanks for the input. Appreciated! I'm thinking about getting a drone, and I'm having a bit of a hard time choosing which one.🤔
And learning a new language is not easy. I think your girlfriend? already has a good pronunciation after such a short time.👍
Stort lycka till framledes ! 🌻
@@AnomaliSWE If you want to be versatile and not too heavy then maybe the Mini 4 pro? It’s newer then the 3 so should be better 😉 Haha yes she does a good job! 👍🏼👍🏼
@@lifeof_guy Have you tried flying your drone in freezing temperatures? they don't seem to be able to handle more than -10. Usually it's most beautiful outside when it's colder than that in this country.🥶😅 I have looked at both the DJI mini 3 pro and 4.👍
@ Euhm no not yet… haha but let’s see if it will freeze haha… I will see what happens in the winter 😉 I hope I can capture some of the beautiful snowy/freezy weather 🤩
6:48 If you are serious at being here long term, Ja du behöver lära dig svenska för att kunna prata med kunder. Jag ser inte poängen med att komma hit om man ska ignorera språket, svenskar förstår Engelska väldigt väl men väldigt få är duktiga på att prata för att vi så sällan pratar Engelska (annat än med utlänningar). So Yes, people that are gonna be here long term or permanently really should learn the language.
Don't worry about making mistakes, people here will gladly help you learn. We also have no problems pointing towards fun media to use to learn the language. I personally would recommend anything written by Astrid Lindgren, pretty much all her stories have been books that have had other forms of media like movies and TV shows (one of my favourites is still Ronja Rövardottar, had a childhood crush on her)..
Yes indeed, that’s why we want to learn! I think that’s a really important thing to do. Immigration is one thing but integration is another.. and surely want to do that too 😊
Definitely will look in to that! Thanks for the tips 😊😊
@@lifeof_guy No problems, I like sharing Swedish culture with others. One nice thing with Astrid Lindgreen is that some of the writings give you a look back in time (thanks to tv/movie adaptiations), like Barnen i Bullerybyn adaptations which are based on late 1920's Sweden. Emil i Lönneberga adaptations depict Sweden in the late 19th century. pippi långstrump is much more much more contemporary, those adaptations depicting Sweden at the end of the 1960's.
There's also loads of other Swedish cultural things, some really iconic childhood shows like Petson & Findus, Trazan och Banarne, Dr Mugg, Bröderna Fluff, Bolibompa (almost felt embarassed I forgot about Bolibompa). We also had loads of foreign cartoons like Disneydags that showed a bunch of Disney stuff. Srry I tend to go on a tangent when writing about stuff I am passionate about. Hope this gives you some more ideas of stuff to look into.

Dont give up, for us it was also more difficult than we thought, but the penny will drop. You can also listen to the podcast ' Henry läser Wikipedia ' which will help you to at least understand Swedish better.
@@hannibal2104 Oh no we will not give up! 😉 I noticed we are able to learn it, so that’s a start! Ah ok let’s see about that podcast 😉👌🏼
Vad kul at du lära svenska :D Hur mår du?
Jag mår bra! Vi har en bra helg 👌🏼😊 Hur är du?
💛🙏💙 When you live in Solleftea, you could ask Jonna Jinton, if she needs more team members for her new shop? 🤗
Haha yeah that’s a possibility indeed 😉 She can always call me 🙈☺️
@@lifeof_guy Of course, you are right! But you can call her too, or? 🙃
You have a talent for making movies with sound and pictures from nature. Why dont you try to speak - slowly with pauses and also like in the end - no talk - you show the beatiful panorma and music. This could be investigated and explored. Yes I have lived in Holland from october to april 1994 and learned that you have a rainy season...rain every day...if not in the morning - in the evening. This is different from Sweden.
Thank you! 😊 haha yeah I sometimes try it in the intro but I always feel I sound horrible 🙈🤣 but who knows… maybe one day 😉
Yeah very rainy season… just in general more rain then in Sweden 🙈
Its going to be great.. but with periods of.. why did we move here!?
First you have to survive your first winter.. people up there think its nothing.. only different seasons and quite normal!
Soo.. the more rural one lives, the more one need to be prepared for winter.. self reliant.. in the begining as a foreginer reliant on nice neighbours.. to give advice!
And then to language.. the more rural area.. people do understand english, they are not that used to talk english!
In anyway, Dutch and Swedish is cousine languages.. we share a lot.. its the same type of language.. old Norse and old Frisian was our old relatives!
First one learn words and pronunciation, next to put up whole scentenses, (its supose to be similar?)/(and both of our language have influences of "high german")!
It supose to be.. first a strugle with words, pronunciation, building scentenses.. then after a while.. one notice all the similaritys!
Second.. one learn about false friends.. words that is similar but have shifted meaning after 500 years!
Haha yes we do! I think we will survive that, the rental apartment should help in that 😉 But yes let’s see how we deal with the cold,snow, darkness..
The language has indeed similarities but also a lot of different things so we just have to get familiar with those and then we will definitely get on a good level with speaking etc 😊
thanks for your input 😊
