My sister-in-law is both Swedish and pregnant. I am very excited to tell you that baby-to-be will be baptized is Sweden. If all goes well, I will be making my first trip to the Old World within the next year or so.
I have no doubt that the community here is either well-traveled or native to many corners of the earth. I ask you: If one was to spend two weeks in Sweden, what would you do? As a resident of the USA and a gamer, I crave a sense of deep history that I find lacking in my native land. I know next to nothing of Sweden. Also, I consider myself a "foodie," fond of tasting everything and bringing flavors back to my dinner table.
What does one see in two weeks of Sweden? What does one eat in Sweden?
Finally, I might consider learning some of the language. I am not strong with languages but I am proficient with Spanish in addition to my native English. Would any member of this forum recommend a specific text or other tool to learn practical modern Swedish?
