Grattis på födelsedagen, i've been in your situation before but when I finished my swedish language everything came smoothly. You learn more by communicating to your costumer because sometimes you learn from them. Don't be ashame by speaking wrong swedish word because they understand that you are trying your best. I am sure that you feel better after one year or two. Keep your head high and think positive.

[@lifeof_guy]

Thank you for your comment! Yes speaking with everyone in Swedish as much as we can! Just to practice and learn more 😊 Yeah next year will feel a little different I assume 🙏🏼😊

[@Reasonandlove]

A dutch guy saying "this is warm for me" and it looks like a freezing rain.... : )). For me 15° C would already be "cold"!! I imagine when is so cold "man kan äta mycket utan att gå upp i vikt". Is that so? Wish you guys all the best. All things will work well and soon you both will be certainly speaking Swedish! I am studying Swedish two or three hours per day in advance before moving to Sweden and your comment helps me to keep studying! Tack!

[@lifeof_guy]

Haha yeah I am born for Scandinavia I think! I am usually quite warm quickly 🙈 But 15 is for me really nice haha… also -15 is really nice 🙈😂 Yes you burn a lot of calories in the cold… of course too much Kanelbulle is not good for the weight haha 😉 Yeah we will get there 💪🏼 Oh that’s good! Keep doing that as it will definitely help you to thrive here in Sweden 😁 Where will you move too? 🤔 Thank you!

Grattis på födelsedagen Hadassa 🎁💐 The fastest way to learn a new language is to do like you do. It's fantastic that you can verbalize what's eating you because than you can understand that this language problem will be over very, very soon. So far you are both alive, you have jobs and school. I call that very well done. 👍👏 adjust your demands on yourself...Hej då!

[@lifeof_guy]

Tack så mycket! Yeah we are really doing our best 🙏🏼 So the learning curve is definitely going upwards 😊 We will get there 💪🏼 thanks so much for your comment 🙏🏼

[@alinnechita4193]

Happy birthday to Hadassa! Her insight was very useful as it addressed some of our anxieties as well. With every new video we're getting a bit more clarity about what it's like moving there, so thank you a lot for this! And yeah, for sure it's starting to look like a winter wonderland, so enjoy it!

[@lifeof_guy]

Thank you! Yeah we all go through different phases and with different experiences. Happy it gives you some insight and clarity for your own journey 🙏🏼😊

[@melaniebollhalder4865]

Happy Birthday Hadassa🎉🎉 ja mår hon leva uti hundrade år🥳😁

[@lifeof_guy]

Tack så mycket! 🙏🏼🥳

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Grattis på födelsedagen of Gelukkige verjaardag Hadassa! Again a nice video Guy :) Cool to see Solleftea turn into a winter wonderland again.

[@lifeof_guy]

Thanks so much mate! 🙏🏼 Yes slowly as today it’s above zero again ☹️

[@LoraStaneva]

amazing video! 👏 i've missed a few of the latest blogs but feels nice now to catch up on your journey. i felt sad to hear Hadassa is still in the struggle, i truly hope soon things with work will change and go up, this is just a period and transition. it's great that in the free time you explore the outdoors and have fun. sending lots of hugs to both 🤗🤗

[@lifeof_guy]

@@LoraStaneva Thanks Lora! 🙏🏼 Good to see you are here watching again 😃 Yeah it’s not nice for her and I hope sooooon it will be much much better 🙏🏼 Yes the outdoors really help and make life here much nicer, it’s so beautiful 😍 Hopefully we see you soon again?! 🥰

[@wheresrobbie]

Lovely video and great to see the snow x

[@lifeof_guy]

@@wheresrobbie Thanks buddy! Yessss more snow please! 😃

[@jonasmagnusson2099]

Keep up Hadassa!👍🙏👏🇸🇪

[@lifeof_guy]

Thanks! She will 💪🏼

[@jonasmagnusson2099]

I’ve been told that Swedish is quite difficult to learn, but you mustn’n give up!👍🙏👏🇸🇪

[@lifeof_guy]

@ We have the advantage of knowing German and Dutch… so loads of similarities 😉👌🏼

[@PH-qy1zj]

Grattis på födelsedagen Hadassa!🎉

[@lifeof_guy]

Tack så mycket 🥳🙏🏼

[@jessesommeling9842]

I takes quite the courage for the both of you to open up like this! You guys are doing a great job and can be proud of what you have achieved so far. I am very impressed with both your perseverance while enduring hardships. Ha, I loved the way how Hadassa's birthday was celebrated! With lots of love, from your friends a little down south 😊 (Also, the pie, the tea, the food, it was awesome🎉)

[@lifeof_guy]

Thanks so much mate! 💪🏼🥰 But I guess opening up about it sometimes makes more sense than only saying it’s amazing all the time! It is amazing but there are hurdles to overcome, for everyone (also the ones who don’t talk about it). I feel that being honest also about the downsides can help other people who are in or want to be in the same situation 🙏🏼😊 At least I hope 😉 Yes it was amazing, thanks for joining 😁 see ya soon

[@jessesommeling9842]

​@@lifeof_guy​I totally agree 🤗

[@ramonag8496]

Happy birthday Hadassa 🎉. It's nice to see you and thank you for sharing your experience. The good and the bad. Wishing you both a nice winter

[@lifeof_guy]

Thanks so much! 🙏🏼😁🥳 Yes let’s not make it brighter then it is, but just keep it real 😊 So looking forward to winter! 🥳

[@NiclasPalmqvist]

Grattis på födelsedagen Hadassa. Som en del av att lära er svenska skriver jag också på svenska. :) Jag förstår att språket är viktigt nen det kommer, jag inspireras av er resa och hur ni vågar flytta till ett helt nytt land. November är mörkt och lite kallt även för oss svenskar men det blir snart bättre - när snön kommer och så även ljuset igen så blir det fantastiskt. Allt gott till er båda!

[@lifeof_guy]

Tack så mycket! Ja, att skriva, tala och lyssna fungerar bra för att lära sig språket. Men det är en ganska svår process att ta sig igenom. Men vi kommer att göra det! Tack för dina vänliga ord, vi gör vårt bästa här och förhoppningsvis kan människor som tittar på dessa videor ta några lärdomar av det för sig själva. Ja låt snön komma för att lysa upp de mörkare dagarna 🙏🏼

[@raija8612]

Grattis Hadassa 🎂🎊 What a nice bithday 🥳

[@lifeof_guy]

@@raija8612 The perfect winter bday! 😁🥳

[@nane5159]

All the best for Hadessa. 🎂🎁🙂 Yes, I can understand that it's very difficult for her in her job. It's great that you also talk about the difficult things when you emigrate. All the better that Hadessa likes Sweden with its wonderful landscape so much. The beginning is hard, but there are two of you (or three ;-) and you can do it together. It looks strange that snow machines have to be used in central Sweden, but I assume it's to optimise the slopes??? Best wishes to you all (also to your mum, I hope she is well again). ❤

[@lifeof_guy]

@@nane5159 Yes we are with 3 so we can support each other and help when needed 🙏🏼 That’s really a great thing ❤️ It all will get better and definitely will be enjoying Sweden more and more, as you say it’s really beautiful here 😍 They use the fake snow for the first firm layer they have told me 😉 And there hasn’t been that much snow yet! 🙈🤔 Have a great week! Oh and mum is doing well 🙏🏼😊

[@bernardopros1736]

Happy birthday Hadassa, hope you enjoy your day!! Nice Guy, hope you are progressing with your Swedish!

[@lifeof_guy]

Thanks so much Buddy! Yeah it was really a nice day 😁🙏🏼

[@Agnieszka_TN]

Happy belated birthday till Hadassa ❤ It made me sad to hear that she's struggling, but I can understand so well what she's going through. 💔 At the same time it's a struggle many expats go through but only few people share on there internet I guess. Usually it's all bells and whistles but the reality is different. I think we all appreciate your honesty. The language/ cultural barrier can be a lot sometimes but you're on the right path with SFI. I'd also try to immerse myself in the language as much as possible, listen to the radio or TV on swedish. I still remember my frustration but it will get better. Good luck to you both and thank you for sharing your journey🩵

[@lifeof_guy]

@@Agnieszka_TN Thanks so much for your kind words 🙏🏼🥰 Yeah we have to get through this together, but she’s doing good 💪🏼 Just because of this I want to share the real story and not just the happy stuff. I think that’s not a good picture of how it really is as you also say. Yes we talk as much Swedish and learn a lot during the day at work or SFI. That really helps 😃 Thank you again for your comment and have a wonderful week 😊

[@Agnieszka_TN]

@@lifeof_guy thank you, and the same to you! Greetings from rainy Lund. 🌧️

[@lifeof_guy]

@ Thank you! Oh rain is not nice… here dry, sun (when it comes over the horizon 😉) and “warm”

[@Agnieszka_TN]

@@lifeof_guy I don't mind rainy weather. It is what you make it 😉 Wearing the right clothes is the secret 😄

[@lifeof_guy]

@ Oh yes I agree on that! But snow is nicer 😉

[@rbphilip]

Happy birthday to Hadassa. Alltid kul att få lite inblick i mina vänners liv. Grattis till Hadassa!!

[@lifeof_guy]

Thanks buddy! Yes important to share how we feel on these situations that we go through 🙏🏼

[@rbphilip]

@@lifeof_guy it is important. It’s a good thing you two like winter. This is not my favorite season in Sweden!

[@lifeof_guy]

@ Haha no I know you don’t want to be here right now 😉🙈

[@rbphilip]

@@lifeof_guy but I do like seeing it make my friends happy! You two, Sophie, and I think Lora. Although I have no idea where she is now!

[@lifeof_guy]

@ Will keep sharing the white stuff here 😉 Hmm no me neither 🤔

[@Cyclist4life]

Happy birthday to hadassa!🎉 Jullie komen er wel samen,weer een prachtige video en succes met de verkoop van je prachtige foto,s. 😀🤘

Dank je wel man! 🙏🏼 Ja we doen ons best en het komt wel goed 💪🏼 Thanks 📸

[@DaniellavanAmsterdam]

Grattissss Hadassa, thank you for your honest story of how you ar doing. Big hug from me and a cuddle from Cocker Jake. Again enjoyed the video, my favourite sunday movie night.

[@lifeof_guy]

Thanks so much Daniella 😊 Yeah let’s keep it real and just tell how it is 🙏🏼 Big hugs back to the both of you 🥰 That’s a nice thing to hear ❤️ 🎥

[@Mar-rd9tk]

Zo, 3 filmpjes van je gezien vandaag, genoeg om overna te denken. Fijn dat je jullie worstelingen ook delen, geeft perspectief. Ook omdat dit dingen zijn waar ik bang voor ben en in vervolgens de reacties te lezen onder je filmpje, dat het erbij mag horen, geven dan weer moed. Fijn om jullie beiden te zien, geeft een mooie balans.

[@lifeof_guy]

Het kan niet allemaal mooie en goede momenten zijn. Dus ja ook de zware dingen moeten aan bod komen vind ik! 🙏🏼 Dat blijf ik ook zeker doen 😊

[@Reasonandlove]

What you are doing is reinvention, transformation and that is life! You are doing well because that is to live truly. It does not matter to start from zero again. that is always the other side of the coin as far as transformation is regarded. Be courageous as you already are. You will not repent of growing through those experiences. Look at everything as a privilege, as it truly is! All the best for you!

[@lifeof_guy]

Thank you so much for your uplifting words 🙏🏼 We know we are going through a big change, with change comes growth and that’s an important part of life 🙏🏼😊 We keep growing and will hopefully soon say yes this is IT! 😁

[@yasindigenousnativeexpeditions]

Hi guys, well done for daring to do something different! Welcome to Sweden🤗 I can recommend Sollefteå, it’s small and welcoming. We have a cottage around there that we are moving to from Småland in April, looking forward to it and meeting new people, we might be coming up in January for 2 weeks to ski. Life is always an adjustment, give it time and you will grow😉 good luck to you both☀️☀️Oh!!Hadassa, get some KSM 66 I know this will help😉

[@lifeof_guy]

Super Nice! And do you have a Land Rover too? 🤔😉 The ski season has started here to you’re good to go 😊

[@yasindigenousnativeexpeditions]

@@lifeof_guyyes we do, we have a Defender Puma 2011. Looking forward to the skiing and a beer at the hotel! Stay well, and hope to see you up there in the future☀️☺️

[@lifeof_guy]

@@yasindigenousnativeexpeditions Ah cool! I have a 2009 130 😊 so the defenders should definitely meet 😉

[@rlofgren6787]

Happy Birthday Hadassa. What were you eating at the end of the video? Looked really good!!!

Grattis på födelsedagen! The language barrier will soon be a thing of the past.

[@lifeof_guy]

Tack så mycket! We hope so, but we are confident about it 😁

[@allaboutperspective650]

I have been living for 40 years in Sweden and the language still causes me some problems, sometimes when I have friends or family visit me and we meet some of my Swedish friends I start to talk Dutch to my Swedish friends and Swedish to my Dutch friends.

[@MrFireVirus]

What do you do for work?

[@lifeof_guy]

I work at a car garage now 😉 And still for the guiding company
