During this time I have experienced many wonderful&nbsp;but also weird and confusing &#8220;typically Swedish situations&#8221;. Situations in which I found myself behaving &#8220;non-Swedish&#8221;. It took me years to adapt to the Swedish culture. And although I maybe haven&#8217;t become 100% Swedish (I probably never will), &nbsp;I believe I have come quite a long way on the path to Swedishness, which I now want to share with you.<\/p><div id=\"hejsw-1569685534\" class=\"hejsw-content-sfa-desktop-and-tablet-1 hejsw-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3eu3RS1\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Book about Sweden - How to be Swedish\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1.png\" alt=\"Book about Sweden - How to be Swedish\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1.png 900w, https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1-800x600.png 800w, https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/HtbS-ad-main-220420-1-1-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" class=\"no-lazyload\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wrote this book with myself in mind, as if I was talking to the Matthias that just arrived in Sweden back in 2005.

One semester turned into more than a decade. In 2011 he started the blog Hej Sweden in order to share his Swedish experiences and love for Sweden and the Swedes with others who are keen to learn more about this beautiful country.\u00a0 One result of his constant attempt to discover what it means to live in Sweden like a typical Swede, is the book How to be Swedish - A Quick Guide to Swedishness - In 55 Steps (here on Amazon, also available in German)\u00a0 For more about Matthias and Hej Sweden, have a look at the About page.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hejsweden\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@hejsweden"],"url":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/author\/matthias-admin\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HtbS-Book-image-3D.png","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HtbS-Book-image-3D.png","author_info":{"display_name":"Matthias Kamann","author_link":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/author\/matthias-admin\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5634"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16423,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5634\/revisions\/16423"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
