Swedes Do WHAT?! Culture Stuff We Still Don’t Understand 🇸🇪😅
Description
We’re back with our friend Hannah Saldner for another round of hilarious Sweden–USA culture shocks. This week we dive even deeper into the everyday Swedish habits that still confuse us — from four-wheel-drive shopping carts to roundabouts, preschool hills, skohorns, weird language phrases, and even… why Swedes sell bags of moss at ICA.
We also talk about:
• Why Swedes say “ursäkta” instead of “sorry”
• The mysterious Swedish “resting confused face”
• Why Americans can’t switch languages in relationships
• Skohorn culture (and Josh’s 4-year-old’s obsession 😂)
• “Det suger,” “sjukt,” “det värsta,” and other phrases we keep messing up
• The Swedish–American struggle of wanting to sound polite but not weird
• Why Costco carts feel like a dream compared to ICA’s chaos
If you’re an expat, a Swede, or someone who loves culture-shock conversations — you’ll love this one.
