Learning to Be Swedish

Learning to Be Swedish

Välkommen

Hi, my name is Matthew, and I'm a Swede. 

Välkommen!

No, I don't live in Sweden, nor was I born there. I'm a third generation Anglo-Swedish American yuppy. I don't speak Swedish, and I haven't yet visited the fatherland. I grew up with meatballs, lingonberries, potato sausage, and ostkaka. And I think it's time for me to learn what it means to be Swedish. 

Welcome to my journey into Swedish heritage. I've dubbed 2014 as my "learn what it means to be Swedish" year, and I've decided to share this learning experience with everyone around me. I invite you to join me as I discover my nordic culture.

I also invite you to share your thoughts and experiences, make suggestions and recommendations, and generally be a part of this experience. 

Hej då!
Matthew
