Hello everyone from Sweden! You may get annoyed with us Americans, so do I. But I have a lot of ancestry from Sweden and I'm very interested to meet some of you and learn more about Sweden in general. Music, food, pop culture, slang. All of it.
I play video games (of course) and love space and science. I'd love to make a discord and get to know some of you, maybe play some games on steam as well.
Since this is reddit, you may already be exposed to much American media and culture, but I can offer to teach you anything you'd like about America or explain any current events over here as well.
Nice to meet all of you in advance, adjö!

jr6a4dbOh yeah, I was giving this girl serious grief about badmouthing her boyfriend in swedish, which he didn't understand since he don't speak the language. He thought we were having a nice conversation while we were calling each other very horrid names lol.

jr4po7tGenerally speaking we don't want to bother other people, everyone is kinda minding their own business.

jr4ps4eAhh I can dig that. You do you, I'll do me. Just don't harm each other and get along when we have to.
Kind of like family on the holidays

jr4qo8sIf you are interested I would recommend reading this https://hejsweden.com/en/swedish-culture-guide/ (Although I don't agree with everything it says)
Also https://www.reddit.com/r/TillSverige/ is a subreddit dedicated to moving to Sweden but it is also a great place for questions.

jr5eom8Not really, the sure fire way to spot an American in Sweden (or Europe in general) is that they’re talking much louder than everyone else. If you ever go to Europe to a place with a lot of American tourists you should try and see how many you can spot by volume alone
