In addition to English it's also oligatory that your kids pick a modern language (usually German, French or Spanish) to learn in grade 7-9, so that's another pro ☺️
You can apply to "mothers toungue"* education in school. That means your kids can learn German in school. Not sure about how old they must be. (*=modersmålsundervisning) Nice to see your view about living here in Sweden.
I think they can get it from the first school year. Also, their kids might be eligible for home language (hemspråksundervisning) education in both English and German!
Hey, I love your smile & honest in you. I love how you speak about this place. I see you are honest & feel safe there. Well that's most important think. I hope you are happy & your family to. Bless you girl :)
From those of us that are not in the child bearing years (thank god). I live just outside of Pittsburgh now, but spent many years in Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Immigrants from Sweden settled there. Phone books are a thing of the past, but try googling for Olson in the Minneapolis area!
I think one reason our English is so good is that we use subtitles on TV and in movies while other countries use dubbing. The one exception is children's cartoons.
As a recent nurse student, I've dived into the delicate laws of Sweden, specifically the "social" laws that's tied to health and wellfare. Once you can have opinions about how the health care works sometimes. The greater laws supporting the structure of individual humane wellfare is pretty flawless and makes me very proud. Like Socialtjänstlagen (SoL), Hälso-sjukvårdslagen (HSL), Pantientlagen, Lagen om stöd och service (LSS) to name a few. You can read more at Lagen and Riksdagen. Another thing is that generally unions are very strong too. That's also a reason for the working climate, it is in everyones interest and politicians are keen about it. Science and facts is the consensual base ground. For example, as you mentioned health maintaince varies depending on company and employer. But my employer, the Region which is a huge employer gives everyone 5000sek (gym membership, massage, sport activities etc) in health maintaince a year, plus 1500sek in health care covering fees like (chiropractor, hospital visits). To me it's outstanding, the opposite draws my mind to the US.
@@LivingSwedish Thanks for replays Kindly please also making a very much informative videos for new comers in Sweden for all types of expense.. Please Thank you so much
It was such a great video full of information. All crystal clear good job! As far as I understood, you are from Germany and your husband is from the uk so I imagine you two have english as a common language. The kids will speak swedish and english then so will that be a problem for you all to comunicate english mainly and not swedish or is it going to be more swedish the spoken language at home? Thanks for your time and I hope to get an answer because I'm thinking of moving there and we're a mix couple too.
Ich bin Schwede und meine dritte Sprache ist Deutsch, ich wünschte, es wäre Thai. Aber Ihre Kinder werden sicherlich eine gute chance bekommen, alle drei Sprachen gleich gut zu lernen.
From 7th grade i suppose youre children can choose French, German, or Spanish as an choosable extra subject in school. Annyway the most schools have that. And it was like that for me. But i chosed agriculture instaed of an extra language besides Swedish and english. Something i deeply regret today tho i would have loved studyed Spanish. I went my 7-9th grade outside Örebro. And that was a long time ago. But I am sure kids can choose about the same stuff today. With some differences between different schools offcourse... We live in a wonderful country. Glad you love it too and want to be one of us.... Much love from Stockholm Sweden/ John
How do Swedes accommodate children who are academically behind or have learning disabilities? My heritage is from Scandinavia and I am very interested in moving there with my family.
This might be quite general but here's what I found: In Sweden, children with academic difficulties or learning disabilities are accommodated through a variety of support services provided by the school system. These services may include special education teachers, individualized learning plans, and adapted teaching materials. Schools may also offer specialized support classes or programs to help students with learning difficulties improve their skills and catch up with their peers. Additionally, students with more significant learning disabilities may receive support from specialist health care providers such as psychologists or speech therapists. The goal is to ensure that all students have access to an education that is tailored to their needs and abilities.
I have no idea but I think if you want to study in Sweden and you get a spot at a university the rules are pretty straight forward. I assume you can move to Sweden on a study visa.
@@Zejbt Nej, det är ett av de lättare språken att lära sig om man tex kommer från engelskan eller tyskan. Grammatiken är väldigt enkel, många av orden är desamma. Det enda svåra med svenskan är uttalet, och att låta som en infödd. Man behöver dock inte behärska språket på den nivån för att klara av tillvaron.

Uli, Jag förstår att det för dig är ett mycket privat ämne att prata om dina föräldrar, och andra familjemedlemmar i forna DDR, och att det för dig kanske ligger utanför din avsikt med denna kanal. Fast du förstår nog att jag frågar. Jag hoppas att tipset om boken och Anders J:s hemsida var dig till nytta.
Thanks for the tip! I can totally understand that this is something interesting and I wish I knew more. I only know how it was for my parents to live in a communist country at that time and it wasn't great. Although they lived their lives as much as they could.
I'm sorry to hear that you aren't close to your parents. A phenomenon that is all too common, I think. ~ In seventh grade we had to choose between German 🇩🇪 and French🇨🇵, and I chose the latter... :-( The generation before me read German as well as French. (In addition to Swedish🇸🇪 and English🇬🇧, of course.) Så där har du skälet till att jag i princip inte skriver någonting på tyska🇩🇪 här. Du och din kille skulle ha mött min farfar, han behärskade tyska, franska och engelska (och givetvis svenska perfekt) mycket väl (flytande?). På hans tid (skoltid 1910- & 1920-talet) var givetvis tyska viktigare än engelska. Och ett par år efter studenten for han ner till Frankrike för ett halvår eller så (~100 år sedan), tappade bort sitt svensk-franska 🇸🇪🇨🇵 (o vv) lexikon på vägen ner. Han lyckades inte hitta något motsvarande där nere så då fick det bli tysk-franskt🇩🇪🇨🇵 (o vv) istället. Det gick lika bra det. 😀 ~ Nu är jag innehavare av farfars exemplar av "Riktig svenska", 1948, (skriven/författad) av Erik Wellander (kolla wiki; bla professor i tyska 🇩🇪1931-1951). Wellanders bok ligger på avancerad nivå. När du kan/behärskar Wellanders bok är du professor i svenska. 😉
Do you actually believe parents in the US will get into trouble allowing their children out to ride bicycles? I can't believe you said that. There is zero truth in that statement.
Yeh, I can see that was quite a bold statement. It's true, I can't really generalize the US like that. Sorry, I said that without any further thoughts!
Sweden LOL, I left that country, because these days it's pretty much Lebanon 2.0, Go to any city, all you see is Arabs and Africans, that country is dead, please leave as soon as you can.
@@annicaesplund6613 Yep, but I am well behaved, I don't offend people here, like so so many of the these people from Africa and the Arab countries are doing to Swedes
I think generalisation is not that great and diversity is needed. Upbringings can be different everywhere and therefore it's more important to provide support rather than wish the problem away.

Yes, and I think that's brilliant! In Germany, everything is dubbed.
No. Bc american infiltrated swedens media. They did it to all other country's. They like to programing people, thats why they call it "program".
