Sarah FackrellOkay, this may be a long shot but:
Any Swedish professors out there? I'd love to meet/follow you, especially if you're in the fields of design, art/design history, or law.
Eric Hellman@design_law varför lär du dig svenska? Jag gör det också.
@gluejar For fun, mostly, and because it amuses my grandma, whose grandparents were all Swedish immigrants.
(I only just started in January, so I can't reply yet på svenksa)
@design_law that's a good reason
@gluejar Tack! Och du?
@design_law I was fluent when I was 4 years old, but I forgot it all. I can fool swedes with my 3 sentences of perfect swedish with a vaguely northern accent.
@design_law Netflix har några bra svensk serier. Har du sett "Kärlek och Anarki"?
@gluejar Yes, loved it. I'm currently working my way through all of the Netflix Swedish content
@gluejar They've got a new Swedish movie out this week, if you haven't seen it. "One More Time" - basically nostalgic Millennial "Groundhog Day." Very fun (and good if you want to learn the Swedish birthday song)
@design_law I know the first verse, mostly. My aunt tried to teach me more verses, which get raunchier with every verse, but they never stuck.
@design_law watched it. Hit by a truck seems to be a Swedish movie trope. Annoyed at the subtitles for the song. https://www.tumblr.com/svenskalangblr/643932527470477312/happy-birthday is a decent glossing of the lyrics. But a sweet movie.
Världens bästa Kille™@gluejar @design_law If you haven’t already, check out SVT (Öppet arkiv is great https://www.svtplay.se/kategori/oppet-arkiv ) and SR.se

@thelovebing @design_law Kan bara ses i Sverige
@design_law @gluejar Seems certain programs are restricted abroad. Not all.
@gluejar @design_law Oh, forgot this. Live and direct, a perfectly balanced excitement/zen experience
Den stora älgvandringen
I flera tusen år har älgarna vandrat samma leder för att komma till sommarens rika betesmarker. For several thousand years the moose have walked the same path to get to the rich pastures of summer. Follow the walk live from Kullberg in the north of Sweden. Älgvandringen 2026 startar den 22 april.
@design_law and "En man som heter ÖVE' IS HILARIOUS!
@gluejar Loved that, too. So, so good. Amazon Prime actually has surprisingly good Swedish content...if you can find it. I love that Netflix lets you search by original language.
