🇸🇪 Sweden is out of the World Cup…

…but Norway is still out there causing problems in beautiful style 🇳🇴😭

And now people in Sweden are entering a very delicate emotional phase.

Classic sibling energy.

You roast each other all year, but the second one of you is still in the tournament…
suddenly it’s:

“Technically, we’re family” 😅

So congratulations Norway.
This hurts a little, but also… well played.

Are you cheering for Norway now, or is that too emotionally complicated? 👀

🇸🇪 Every Swedish learner knows this feeling… 😅

You finish your lessons, know the grammar, you’ve learned hundreds of words and rehearsed conversations in your head.

And then a real Swede says “Hej hej!”… followed by 37 words in three seconds 😭

The good news?
We’ve all been there.

The biggest difference between people who eventually become confident speakers and those who don’t isn’t talent?

✨ they keep talking ✨

Even when it’s awkward. 
Because no textbook can replace real conversations.

So if you’re learning Swedish, let this be your reminder:

🙅‍♀️ Don’t wait until you feel “ready”

🙂‍↕️ Speaking is what makes you ready 💙💛

👇 What was your first real conversation in Swedish like?

One of my favourite ways to learn Swedish?

Reading books and listening to audiobooks I’ve already read in my native language.

When you already know the story, it’s so much easier to focus on the language instead of constantly wondering what’s going on 😅

That’s one of the reasons I like Nextory.

If a title is available as both an e-book and an audiobook, you can switch between reading and listening whenever you want. Perfect for commuting, walks, or lazy evenings on the sofa. 🎧📖

Right now I’m:
🎧 listening to Ingen älskar dig som jag by Krissy Hedenstedt (yes, from Love is Blind Sweden 👀)
📖 reading the first Off Campus book after finally watching the series.

And this reel is in Swedish again! 🇸🇪
As always, any Swedish corrections are more than welcome. I’m still learning, and your comments genuinely help me improve 🤍

🎁 If you’d like to try Nextory, comment NEXTORY and I’ll send you direct link to this offer.

Current offer: ✨ 50 days of free reading & listening (20 hours included)

☕ One of my biggest culture shocks in Sweden?

July.

Not because of the weather...
Because half the country seems to collectively decide:
“See you in August!” 😂

I expected cafés, restaurants and little local businesses to be extra busy during summer.

Tourists are everywhere.
People are on holiday.
The weather is finally nice.
Perfect business, right?

Meanwhile Sweden: ...or we could all just take a vacation.

And they really do 😆

It’s not just factories slowing down.

Hairdressers, beauty salons, cafés, restaurants and all kinds of small businesses often close for weeks, because the owners want a proper summer break too. ☀️

At first it felt so strange but now?

I’ve learned one important lesson:

If you have a favourite place... visit it before July 😅

👇 Was this a culture shock for you too?

⚽ News from Sweden...

I think that`s a pretty accurate summary of the evening 😭🇸🇪

Now, here`s the thing...
I know absolutely nothing about football.

But I wanted to experience what watching a World Cup match feels like in Sweden, so we headed into the city to watch it with Swedish fans.

That was such a good decision.

Yes, the result wasn`t what anyone was hoping for, and with this match Sweden`s World Cup journey came to an end.

But despite every goal making the mood a little quieter, the atmosphere was still incredible. Watching everyone celebrate, sigh, hope and cheer together was an experience I`ll genuinely remember 😂

So... thank you, Sweden, for letting me experience football the Swedish way ❤️🇸🇪

Congratulations on making it this far, and thank you to the team for an exciting tournament. We`ll be cheering again next time 💙💛

🐛 The "caterpillar from hell" is back in Denmark and southern Sweden is on alert.

The oak processionary moth caterpillar is covered in around 700,000 microscopic toxic hairs. Touch one or breathe in the hairs and you can end up with severe rashes, allergic reactions, even breathing difficulties.

It was discovered at a school in Odense, Denmark last summer. The municipality spent 2 million Danish kronor trying to eliminate it. It just turned up at the exact same place again. A playground has now been closed.

It`s a Southern European species that`s been creeping north for years as the climate warms. Last year, Skåne`s county administration warned that a few warm winds is all it would take for them to cross the Öresund into Sweden.

So if you`re in southern Sweden this summer and see a strange fuzzy procession of caterpillars on an oak tree, do NOT touch. Just walk away 🌳

🎭 Nordic Curtain Call • Week 26

Welcome back to another week of Swedish theatre and live entertainment news.

From musical debuts and legendary summer theatres to family opera and one of Sweden’s biggest outdoor productions, here’s everything that happened on the Nordic stage scene last week 👌

☀️ Rehearsals are officially underway for the final summer of Höga Kusten.

After two sold-out seasons, the beloved musical inspired by Tomas Ledin’s songs returns for one last run at Höga Kusten Friluftsteater.

Morgan Alling, Sussie Eriksson, Nils Reinholtz, Tova Hollender, Klas Wiljergård and Victor Morell are all back on stage as audiences prepare to say goodbye to one of Sweden’s biggest outdoor musical successes.

🇸🇪 More Swedish theatre news → @likeswedencom

⚔️ Håkan Hemlin is stepping onto the musical stage for the very first time.

The legendary Nordman frontman will make his musical debut in Viking, a brand-new original Swedish production opening this September in Stockholm.

Set in the late Viking Age, the show promises epic battles, forbidden love, original music and a large-scale production unlike anything currently playing on Swedish stages. Hemlin joins a cast including Joakim Nätterqvist, Jaakko Hutchings and LinaMaria Bengtsson.

🎭 Sweden’s most iconic summer comedy theatre is celebrating 30 years.

Few outdoor stages have had a bigger impact on Swedish entertainment than Vallarna.

Over the past three decades, millions of visitors have enjoyed its legendary buskis comedies, helping launch the careers of many of Sweden’s best-known comedy actors. Three decades later, the tradition is still going strong and remains one of the highlights of every Swedish summer.

😂 Summer theatre season has officially begun in Kalmar.

Set in 2003, this fast-paced comedy follows a taxi driver secretly juggling two families until his children accidentally connect online. As you can imagine... chaos q
