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.

If you were to ask me to speak Swedish or Dutch or German, I have no idea if I could pull that off!

I was always attracted by the European way of life, but I am deeply Swedish.

I speak Swedish mainly with my kids' friends.

I'm a real Swede! In fact, I'm a quarter Finnish.

Language most shows a man, speak that I may see thee.

If you travel to Germany, it's still absolutely Germany. If you travel to Sweden, it still has a Swedish identity.

Being German, I think we don't really express a lot of things.
