I just dropped you a bunch of kudos on AO3, don't be shocked. :) It's part of my on-going project to revisit all the stories that I've already read and enjoyed but only left guest-kudos for because I didn't have an account at the time.
Maybe more people would speak your lovely language if you'd just let them! :) It's terribly frustrating if you're in a foreign country trying to practice a foreign language when all the natives immediately switch to English as soon as they realise that you're not a native speaker yourself. Of course I understand that you don't want to listen to someone butcher your beautiful language by stuttering and getting the word order and the pronunciation wrong all them time - but how on earth are we ever supposed to master it, then? :)
Furthermore, I adore the Swedish cinema, so I really wish that the English-speaking world was as intimately acquainted with it as you are with British/American productions. In particular, I think that Swedish comedies often have depth and wit that the average Hollywood romcom lacks. And "Så som i himmelen" is one of my favourite films of all time!
