More details about my language interests
I am dedicated to improving my Swedish language skills through an intensive course that i started in september 2024. My ultimate goal is to achieve fluency in both spoken and written Swedish, enabling me to transition to the Swedish department within my company. I've completed an international English course and can understand most of the material, but there's always room for improvement. My primary goal is to enhance my Swedish language skills, but I'll also use English to support my Swedish learning when needed. If you could assist me with Swedish and English, I would greatly appreciate it.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Help with the garden and home ...)

Dearest and wonderful Eva and Andreas and Leo (dog)
Now that my holiday is over, I'm sitting here with somewhat mixed feelings. On the one hand, I'm incredibly grateful for the amazing time I've been able to spend with you. I arrived here as a lost tourist, but thanks to your warm welcome, I quickly felt more at home than in my own (sometimes… read more chaotic) apartment. It truly felt like I just belonged, as if you had secretly adopted me as your "international heir". 😉
Those conversations at the kitchen table were worth their weight in gold. From serious discussions about the world's ups and downs to sometimes simpler conversations where we had tears in our eyes from laughing – I enjoyed every minute.

And the shared activities! Whether it was a relaxing walk in the beautiful nature, or ... every moment was special and has ended up in my "best memories" album.
I've learned so much from you Andreas and also Eva, not only about the fascinating Swedish culture (I can now at least pronounce "tack så mycket," "varsågod," and "duktig" flawlessly, quite an achievement!), but also about life in general. Your perspective on things, your patience, your humor – it has truly inspired me. Thank you for being so open and honest and for giving me a glimpse into your lives.

And that warm and loving atmosphere in the house... it was like a constant hug. Even on the most rainy days (of which there were surprisingly few, I believe! Maybe you have special sunbeams in the garden?) it always felt cozy and snug inside. I'm really going to miss that peace and warmth. My own home will probably need a serious dose of Swedish "mys" to get back up to par.
These four weeks have flown by like a high-speed train, and the memories I've made, I will cherish forever. You have truly won a special place in my heart. I'm going to miss you, the conversations, the laughter, even the attempts to master the Swedish language (maybe I'll come back in a few months for a crash course in advanced Swedish!).

And last but not least: the food! My taste buds are eternally grateful to you. I'm going to dream about all that food. I'm afraid my own cooking skills will now seem a bit bland. Maybe you should publish a cookbook? I would be the first to buy it!
Thank you again for everything. You have made this experience unforgettable. I hope we will definitely stay in touch in the future!
With much love and a little bit of wistfulness,

(Excellent)
