Words And Sentences To Learn Before Traveling To This Beautiful Country

I had an idea to actually start a little series of posts with words and sentences to learn when visiting/traveling to Sweden.

I am a Swedish person, and I know many struggle with learning Swedish, and because I love to teach people, I decided to have fun and teach you Swedish!

Some sentences will be long so I recommend you copying the words and sentences and use an app or website so you can listen how they can be pronounced.

A bit of information about Sweden and the Swedes

Okay, whether if you have been to Sweden or are planning to travel here, you should know that we are very friendly and helpful. Most of us are honest people, so if you accidentally forgot something like a wallet, a piece of clothing, or so, we will turn the wallet over to the closest shop or police station. The clothing we will add to a higher spot at the same spot you dropped it. Not all are honest, though, so be prepared for that. Almost everyone of us who has Facebook will also post in the groups where you are in about the stuff.

Now to the class #1
