I think the hardest part of being an immigrant is getting all the administrative paperwork stuff done since Migrationsverket isn’t funded close enough to what they need to be.

What is the question? Is it difficult to get a job? Is it difficult to get friends?

A little bit of both, I think. How is it getting a job in my respective field? And what can I expect with that work culture? Best ways to make friends, since I heard work isn’t the best place etc

I don't even know where you would make friends outside work if you are over 25.

Everything is difficult until you learn how to do it; then it's easy. So, do not speak english with people more than absolute necessary if you're planning to stay here for long. You will be doing yourself a huge disfavor and people will never let you learn swedish even if you live here very long, but will speak swedish with each other and keep you out (not out of illwill though). You must speak swedish as much as you can and don't let them tell you they know english. They will feel proud when they say it but tell them: "Jag vill försöka på engelska. Ha lite tålamod med mig.". You will be surprised how much they will help you in learning swedish then, I promise you! 🙂 Till slut blir även svenska lätt!

Thats great advice thank you! I haven’t had anyone in Sweden say however they know English, quite the opposite that they don’t haha

What age were they? Not usual, but good! You see how it's important even here then 😃

I think its more the confidence in speaking English with the most people I encountered, who say they can’t. Because there also are the people who are very confident and don’t speak it at all haha
