@Jeremiah The ability to fully participate in swedish society: Social gatherings were not that fun. People spoke english in the beginning but after a while it was all swedish (rightfully so) and I was out. Same at work, i could participate in all conversations not only those meant for me. Reading newspaper, watching the news, tv… I was also made fun of when I misspoke, but that went right back when they did (still recall the fack meetings we had to have at work 😂)
