According to the Swedish national television news on 22 March, more than 1,100 Britons have applied for Swedish nationality following the Brexit referendum. With house prices way below those in the UK, many hope to move to Sweden shortly. Why not you, too? Sweden is a beautiful country, and has only 10 million inhabitants in an area twice that of the whole UK. Sweden is looking for qualified workers in many branches, especially in industry, health, schooling and IT.
Swedish is a Germanic language; it has, therefore, very many similarities with English and is pretty easy to pick up. While Sweden has fantastic summers, it can get a bit chilly in winter. But please note, there are no polar bears walking the streets, just plenty of wildlife in the forests. Lots of useful information on Wikipedia.
