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!

Being an American, I know you'd hate me. I'd get close up and start small talk. Immediately I now see how annoying that could be in Sweden. Perfectly normal here though

First time in America a stranger started to talk to me when I was taking a walk along the beach. All I did was keep my cool while internally being certain I was at best being pick-pocketted and at worst about to get robbed.🤣

I spent 6 months in California as a FES. A dude once sat down next to me at the bus stop and started talking to me. Took me a few moments before I realised what was going on lmao. But it was kinda nice honestly. Always said hey to each other and asked how it's going every time we walked past each other after that.

In Sweden "small talk" is referred to as "cold talk" or "dead talk" both Sweden and Finland refrain from doing it.

Also think about your volume when you speak, because you'll always be able to spot the American in Sweden only by the volume!
