For me, at least, much of the German I see and hear sounds stranger than Swedish, a language of which I unfortunately understand very little.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I speak Swedish mainly with my kids' friends.
If you were to ask me to speak Swedish or Dutch or German, I have no idea if I could pull that off!
I speak Swedish, it's my first language. Of course, growing up with Latin American parents from Argentina, I also have some other influences from other cultures. But Sweden is where I feel the most at home.
Danish is a different language, even though Danish people understand Swedes, and very few Swedes understand Danish.
Whenever I travel anywhere, I'm constantly asked if I'm Swedish. It's the burden of most Norwegians. The Swedes have just got a better publicity agent, I think.
I always identified myself as non-Swedish. I was never discriminated against, because I looked Swedish and speak without an accent. But I had an outsider's perspective.
The Swedish language combines the strong manhood of the German with the delicate beauty of the Italian.
I was always attracted by the European way of life, but I am deeply Swedish.
My friends who are not from Sweden tell me that I'm more reserved or maybe more ... I guess the opposite of what a Latin American would be. Maybe because Scandinavians are more careful with their words and I guess it takes a lot to become a friend of a Swede.
A lot of people who live in Denmark will understand Danish but not necessarily speak it.
