    Grattis på födelsedagen, i've been in your situation before but when I finished my swedish language everything came smoothly. You learn more by communicating to your costumer because sometimes you learn from them. Don't be ashame by speaking wrong swedish word
    because they understand that you are trying your best. I am sure that you feel better after one year or two. Keep your head high and think positive.

      Thank you for your comment! Yes speaking with everyone in Swedish as much as we can! Just to practice and learn more 😊 Yeah next year will feel a little different I assume 🙏🏼😊

    A dutch guy saying "this is warm for me" and it looks like a freezing rain.... : )). For me 15° C would already be "cold"!! I imagine when is so cold "man kan äta mycket utan att gå upp i vikt". Is that so? Wish you guys all the best. All things will work well and soon you both will be certainly speaking Swedish! I am studying Swedish two or three hours per day in advance before moving to Sweden and your comment helps me to keep studying! Tack!

      Haha yeah I am born for Scandinavia I think! I am usually quite warm quickly 🙈 But 15 is for me really nice haha… also -15 is really nice 🙈😂
      Yes you burn a lot of calories in the cold… of course too much Kanelbulle is not good for the weight haha 😉
      Yeah we will get there 💪🏼
      Oh that’s good! Keep doing that as it will definitely help you to thrive here in Sweden 😁 Where will you move too? 🤔 Thank you!

    Happy birthday to Hadassa! Her insight was very useful as it addressed some of our anxieties as well. With every new video we're getting a bit more clarity about what it's like moving there, so thank you a lot for this! And yeah, for sure it's starting to look like a winter wonderland, so enjoy it!

    Grattis på födelsedagen Hadassa 🎁💐 The fastest way to learn a new language is to do like you do. It's fantastic that you can verbalize what's eating you because than you can understand that this language problem will be over very, very soon. So far you are both alive, you have jobs and school. I call that very well done. 👍👏 adjust your demands on yourself...Hej då!

It is amazing but there are hurdles to overcome, for everyone (also the ones who don’t talk about it). I feel that being honest also about the downsides can help other people who are in or want to be in the same situation 🙏🏼😊 At least I hope 😉

    Happy belated birthday till Hadassa ❤ It made me sad to hear that she's struggling, but I can understand so well what she's going through. 💔 At the same time it's a struggle many expats go through but only few people share on there internet I guess. Usually it's all bells and whistles but the reality is different. I think we all appreciate your honesty.
    The language/ cultural barrier can be a lot sometimes but you're on the right path with SFI. I'd also try to immerse myself in the language as much as possible, listen to the radio or TV on swedish. I still remember my frustration but it will get better.
    Good luck to you both and thank you for sharing your journey🩵

    Yes, I can understand that it's very difficult for her in her job. It's great that you also talk about the difficult things when you emigrate. All the better that Hadessa likes Sweden with its wonderful landscape so much. The beginning is hard, but there are two of you (or three ;-) and you can do it together.
    It looks strange that snow machines have to be used in central Sweden, but I assume it's to optimise the slopes???

    Grattis på födelsedagen Hadassa. Som en del av att lära er svenska skriver jag också på svenska. :) Jag förstår att språket är viktigt nen det kommer, jag inspireras av er resa och hur ni vågar flytta till ett helt nytt land. November är mörkt och lite kallt även för oss svenskar men det blir snart bättre - när snön kommer och så även ljuset igen så blir det fantastiskt. Allt gott till er båda!

Tack för dina vänliga ord, vi gör vårt bästa här och förhoppningsvis kan människor som tittar på dessa videor ta några lärdomar av det för sig själva.
