Well my brother actually brought his Canadian girlfriend over here +10 years ago and they live in the northern suburbs of Stockholm, they have two daughters as well. Maybe she could guide you through the process? If you’re interested?
More driven children can be a confusion for Swedish schools. Our son went to school in east Africa, before joining school in Sweden. We had to fight hard to get him the proper schooling, as he knew everything the taught in Swedish school at his age level. We had to change school in the end for him to get proper schooling. I've worked hard to get a programme for talented children in place in our municipality. It's kindof in place now.
Det var en intressant video. Som sagt att lära sig svenska språket är nästan ett måste för att komma in på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Ni två kan ju börja tävla vem som lär sig flytande svenska först. Sedan är det ingen som bryr sig om det inte blir grammatiskt riktigt, det spelar ingen roll om det missas något, var inte så hårda mot er själva.
I do think its a hell to move to another country.. it could altso be an experiance.. a challange! Its still this.. moving frome UK to sweden.. not that much challange.. or Germany! So beside Brexit.. its stil western moste prosporuse and well function countrys! And I say it again.. English is so close to Scandinavian language that some say its a "Scandinavian creol language"! Its not.. to many french/latin words.. its the gramar that is similar.. its a germanic language! I do meet a lot of english speaker.. its this they are often fluent english as there second laguage.. and altso Britts, scotts and Irish ofcourse! However.. being fluent in English is often an requriment for higher paying jobs in swedish mulinational companyes.. they speak English at there office.. franca lingua!
I enjoyed this talk very much as I had moved to Stockholm from New York City and now live now in Lidingo this past April. Like Tina, I had visited Stockholm over 13-15 times last year so was quite familiar with the city and its people. However, living and visiting is very different and while I enjoy living here and have Swedish friends, Indeed it does take a great deal of effort to get to know them as they keep themselves to themselves (except when they drink!) but are very nice people. I work for a Hedge Fund and I'll second that remark that one must know proper Swedish to get a good position into the legal, finance, IT and other technical sectors to be considered. However the job market centered in Ostermalm, is quite homogeneous and this must be considered. I suggest you have a look at the online directories of Swedish domestic firms and you'll see what I mean. You'll never see this in New York London, Paris, or Geneva. I was interested in particular Re; Britain vs. Stockholm standard of living and costs. Compared to London/Stockholm like rent or food costs, its definitely cheaper then London or New York (I lived and worked in London for three years). Until I moved to Lidingo recently, I lived on Nybrogatan in a 40m apartment and was paying 20,000 SEK a month, which is impossible to find in central NYC or London or even Paris. Perhaps the difference is that I receive my salary in USD not SEK and with the taxes in Sweden, I'd say yes and no on expenses as its relative to one's salary and or if both parents are working in full time professional positions. I am a single person with no children, so the outlay and expenses will be different. Lastly I was very much taken with your daugther's experience at school as it reminded me of my time in Japan. I went to an all Japanese elementary school at age 8 and by 9 was fluent as children are sponges and remember being my mother's translator when we went shopping. This was all in 1979-84. All good times. I hope you'll continue to enjoy this country and Swedish!
That was a great conversation!! I always have a lot more to think about after your videos. Thank you!🩷🌸
Det är givande och intressant att nån berättar om Sverige från en som ser på landet från ett annat perspektiv.
Hej, god eftermiddag! Tack for sharing!
I love us swedes, and would love to move here - if I were a foreigner! 😉

200 SEK is about 15 GBP, so does that make top-up shopping more expensive?
