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
Formal words & sentences and how to greet and interact with people.
Hej means Hello
Hej då means Bye
Hur mår du? means How are you?
Jag mår bra, tack! means I’m good, thank you!
Ursäkta, men var ligger X (the location’s name)? means Excuse me, but where is X (location name)?
Tack så mycket! means Thank you very much!
Transportation
Ursäkta, men jag ska till X (location) men vet inte hur jag tar mig dit. Kan du hjälpa mig? means Excuse me, I’m going to X (location) but dont know how to get there. Can you help me?
Buss means Bus
Tåg means Train
Spårvagn means trolly / tramp
Tunnelbana means Subway
Taxi is the same as Taxi on English
Let me know what words or sentences you would like to learn. Comment, and I will translate them to Swedish for you.

Enormous pressure in school. Questioning my future.
teardrops from heaven.
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
as much as this blog will have a lot of photographs I have been taking I also will be sharing about my life and days. Like today my day was not good in school. I did a big exam in math and failed.
Math has always been a subject I always hated. I never got any help in school when I was younger and now iam in a class where I get a lot of help and actually learn math. That’s crazy! Back to the test, I tried hard. I doodled my calculations, I counted etc but yet I failed it. Luckily I can re-do it later. But it made the teach and I talk more about my past of school experiences etc. Let me just say that they were not good. We also spoke about my future, how the teacher will help me etc.
So after our talk, it got me thinking hard of my education. Iam already a nurse assistant but don’t wanna work on hospital etc anymore so I decided to study to become a preschool teacher. But here’s the problem, it’s in an other city and my husband has two jobs.. And we have E. So I must rethink my new carrier move.
I love teaching. I taught my husband swedish (fluently) both talking and writing on 6 months. I have easy to learn languages. I’ve learned sign language etc to communicate with my son when he can’t talk (he is non verbal but actually learning to say some words). And that’s how my thoughts of becoming a preschool teacher started.. I teach the children same as I teach my son. but like I said ..the education are in an other city and requires 5 days a week at school.
so now iam confused and lost. Should I give up this as I gave up my dreams to become a photographer for national geographic magazine.. as I have given up a dream carrier as a translator on arabic and spanish for embassies and governments (no education here in Sweden for that). what will my next move be?
tomorrow it’s time for math again. 12h a week in school.. only math. lovely. but tomorrow I will try attacking algebra and I’m scared.

September goals | Blog, Life and weightloss ● nervous but excited
September is coming up and it goes fast! Wow. Can’t believe that it’s soon September and only 3 months left of 2024. That’s crazy!
I was thinking of making a small list every month (motivation/goals) list. You can join me as well 🥰 Let me know if you join this idea!
September 2024 goals ●●● BLOG RELATED; Grow so I reach 10 followers ● Blog at least once per day ~ if time, Blog two posts or more ● Share more photographs I take ●●● LIFE RELATED; Weightloss = gym at least twice per week. If time, try three ● -2kg (explaining this below) ●●●
sounds like a small little list that I hopefully can achieve 🥰 Looking forward to see the list at the end of September 🥰 Maybe you wanna join and make your own list of goals per month? Fun!
-2kg part; long story short. I was hysterical of losing weight two years ago when I lost so much in weight on 3 months. My brain didn’t follow the speed as my body shrunk and that wasn’t good. I was a maniac, I barely ate just to lose weight etc. Before my goals were 50kg on 5 months for an example. So now I’m trying to calm my head and take it slow.

When I was younger, I was tired of same food everyday. It’s typical here in Sweden to always do same food everyday (almost) so I tried to experiment with food and ohmygod this choritzo stew is amazing! Even my autistic son who is very selective and picky when it comes to food eats this.
Let me know if you will try this and also what you think of it. Did you add something of your faves in it? Different spices? Mushrooms etc (you can also add that into this but my son doesn’t eat that so I skipped it)

6 choritzo
4 dl cooking cream
2 tbs of Ketchup (or tomato pure)
1 yellow onion
1 apple
1/2 teaspoon of Red Curry paste
Black pepper and fries Spice.
2 tbs of creme fraiche (optional)
you can add how much spices you want depending on your personal opinion 🥰🥰
Step by step (simple)
● Cut the choritzo in your preferable size
● Cut the onion same way
● lower the heat to lil bit under medium
● Fry the choritzo til it’s golden and add the onion and fry together til the onion is golden as well
