Words shape and redefine reality, a constantly evolving and fluid interpretation of social rules and ideas. Foreign words expose us to other realities, unfamiliar practices and exotic beliefs. They can help us discover feelings that are not expressible in our native language. They can inspire us to adopt a new lifestyle, or question the way we live. They may seem obvious, obscure, quirky, unnecessary, universal, or remarkably niche.Swedish has enriched the English language with moped, ombudsman, and smorgasbord. While culturally, Abba, Ikea, Spotify, and Volvo have become part of the global lexicon and in many ways transcend their Swedish origins. But it is more recent words like lagom (moderation) and fika (coffee breaks) which have pushed Swedish language and culture deeper into the global consciousness. But Sweden is more than lifestyle trends and technical solutions. It is the country of fredagsmys (cosy Friday), kosläpp (release of the cows), lillördag (little Saturday, Wednesday), and where the average citizen dreams of a villa, Volvo and a vovve.- Explore the Swedish lifestyle beyond the cliches, with the help of more than 100 Swedish words, translated into English.- Learn more about the country where yes is just another word for no, where the word for poison is the same as for married, and where words without meaning are described as mashed snow.- Listen to three different Swedish dialects with complementary audio files, and wrap your tongue around the pronunciation tricks you need to master to sound like a local.- Be challenged with language quizzes, word games and crossword puzzles.- Enjoy the silliness of direct translations, false friends and other quirky features of the Swedish language — and learn more about the origins of those words we think of as Swedish today.Villa Volvo Vovve is inspired by The Local’s popular ‘Word of the day’ column which continues to explore Swedish language and culture beyond global stereotypes and buzz words.

Have you ever dreamt of re-starting your career in Sweden?Nordic countries often rank high - if not the highest - in international surveys on happiness and quality of life. As a professional, you can expect a healthy work-life balance, gender equality, flat hierarchies, and access to an efficiently run welfare state. A high proficiency in English and technology has fostered innovation hubs and a buzzing start-up scene, attracting international talent. But what is the reality? Often overlooked are the personal journeys behind such relocations. There is, of course, the discovery of a new culture, coupled with expectation, hope, disappointment and wonder. More profoundly, there is the encounter with ourselves, exposed in the light of the new culture. Outside our comfort zones, we are more vulnerable and aware of our own personal shortcomings, values and aspirations.In Six weeks’ holiday, 17 international professionals share their experiences of exploring the myths and realities of Swedish culture and working culture, alongside the universal question of being human - as one among many. Curated and edited by Sofi Tegsveden Deveaux, the co-author of Working in Sweden - The A-Z Guide.Featuring: Joshua Bookman, Catherine Derieux, Kateřina Duchoňová, Nausherwan Ghaffar, Marco Guadarrama, Clarissa Hirst, Jill Leckie, Franziska Müller, Veronika Opatřilová, Raman Ramalingam, Morag Ramsey, Werner Renck, Adriana Salazar, Maddy Savage, Olga Talalay, Federica Viero, Angeliki Vlachou
