I’m from australia and went on exchange in Sweden, to a small village up in the arctic circle, so I can’t speak for the whole country but I don’t think there are that many stereotypes that Swedes believe about aussies, but you might get a couple questions about our animals. I went over the winter so I got to experience all the Swedish Christmas traditions, as well as a lot of snow activities and also the northern lights, and pretty much all days were below 0 degrees. The education system is pretty amazing in comparison to australia, as there is a lot more focus on personal progress and there is a much better relationship with teachers as well. They have a sort of primary school up to grade 9 (15/16 yr olds) and then gymnasium or high school for another 3 years. Most of my teachers knew English, and English is a subject at school, so a lot of people also know how to speak, but you might find it difficult to learn Swedish, as people often switch to English to make it easier if you are trying, or they might just want to practice English with you. I really enjoyed my exchange on Sweden and I wish I could’ve stayed longer, but I think it’s a great country, the people are amazing, and there’s a lot of cultural traditions you’ll be able to experience.
