How do some Swedes speak English with perfect or near perfect American English accents like this girl especially, and Pewdiepie to a degree?
Then, there's British-sounding Thunberg but mainly there's the stereotypical Swedish accent from the Muppet chef that Americans, at least used to, generally associated with a Swedish accent.

We are taught English early in school and all the youngsters have access to the interwebs these days
(and most of their favorite series/programs and youtubers are spoken in british or american english, but in 20 years will be in arabic)
When i was 8-9 years old i already was reading both normal books and comicbooks written in english.
I'd say my english back when i was 15-16 years old was better than my current :D

Thanks, Kwon. That is amazing to get the accent as well. I agree that learning it at a young age is key, especially acquiring it also through interests(books/videos) as opposed to strictly forced classroom study.
Most Americans would probably be against schools teaching Spanish(the most practical 2nd language for Americans) as a second language to everyone in schools but having an additional 20,000+ word vocabulary wouldn't hurt.

I think the Swedes speak the best English out of any of the non English speaking countries. The Danes and the Dutch are pretty good too.
The Germans aren't even close to the level of their Scandinavian neighbours. There's this enormous industry here invested in ruining dubbing all foreign language film and tv into German. I'm sure that plays a role.
This girl not only has a very clean accent, her grammar and syntax are excellent.

It’s heartening to see young white women voice anger with the current leftlib agenda to destroy our lands with “progressive” horseshit and immigration from NON-compatible countries/ethnicities/cultures.

When i was younger, my favorite series that were shown on the swedish telly (we just had two channels back in the day, TV1 and TV2), were Onedin line, Little House on the Prairie and The Macahans (Zeb Macahan!) Emmerdale Farm, Magnum PI (with Tom Selleck); Dallas (Larry Hagman made an impression on me as a young un in 1981) and SOAP.
We didn't have much to watch with just two channels, so sometimes you'd just have to watch M.A.S.H with Alan Alda. :D
But when you start with english in school and have access to so many british and american tv-series so early (7-10 years of age), you learn pretty quickly since your brain is like a sponge at that age.
When i was 10-12 i started reading lots of english books and started reading HP Lovecraft novels.
Nowadays though, children don't read as much books as we did , if any, since they are given Ipads long before they started school by their parents! :D
-
Seems like many Swedes do not love their country.
-
Have to add some more series i grew up with (and maybe influenced me and made me as deranged i am today :D)
'Allo 'Allo (parody on Secret Army), Mork and Mindy, Greatest American Hero.
Secret Army
EDIT: Falco, most rather leave the country if they can, they've given up.
Since what we had before, we do not anymore.
Oh right, we also grew up with this german series for kids :D

Italian people rock. Nobody in the EU enjoys life or speaks English with as much life as the Italians do. Even when they can't speak English!

I know a woman who came here from Italy as an adult. She posted a picture of herself on her Facebook wearing a white dress with the caption that she almost had a Marilyn moment.
I was surprised that someone who grew up in Italy would know so much about American culture that she would be able to reference a 1950s Marilynn Monroe movie.

Most Americans(me included) had/have never heard of British shows like Onedin Line or Emmerdale Farm. I don't they used to air non-American shows on the main networks like ABC, CBS, or NBC. Macahans was known as 'How the West was Won' over here. America apologizes for inflicting Alan Alda and MASH on other countries. :D
Red Ice Media is another Swedish(maybe just the male host) YT channel you may have heard of. I think YT took away their main channel and they had to start a new one.
Hopefully some parents also give them Kindle so they can read a ton of books or even comics on a tiny device.

Let me tell one thing Galain, and I'm dead serious : you'll never find people that love the US as much as Italians do.
It's in our culture since the end of WWII.

This doesn't surprise me at all.
As I said to Galain Italian people have a cult for the USA, plain and simple.
USA saved us from communism thanks to our strategic position and the military bases.
My grandparents when they were still alive every time they heard the American anthem (even in movies) they stood up if they were seated.
This is how deep the thing is, I kid you not.
(sorry for hijacking the thread anyway)

I'm American and within the past 5 years have watched about 10 times more 1965-1975 Italian westerns, Giallos, Poliziotteschi, and cannibal genre(Cannibal Holocaust, etc...) than I have American films.

I guess you must be a fan of the great Sergio Leone!

I love Spaghetti-Westerns!
Loved Sergio Leone's movies and Loved Bud Spencer and Terence Hill too :D
-

Yes. Leone, Corbucci, Castellari, Sollima, Fidani.... :D
Kwon, Them and all the movies with Franco Nero, Anthony Steffen, George Hilton, Tomas Milian, Richard Harrison, Peter Lee Lawrence, Gianni Garko, Fabio Testi, Guiliano Gemma....
Plus through mostly westerns, I became familiar with composers like Ennio Morricone, Bruno Nicolia, Riz Ortalani, Stelvio Cepriani, Guido & Maurizio De Angelis, Bacalov and a couple others.

Well Kwon, I'm a bit surprised you saw movies of Bud and Terence.
I was convinced it was just a local success, not worldwide.
Bud was a champion swimmer, his real name was Carlo Pedersoli. If I remember correctly he even set many Italian records.

Swedish suckers must be happy, BRUTAL ( :-*) TV series Vikings will end in season 6 !.

haha Bud and Terence very popular here in Swe in the 80s!
Not just their westerns but also SUPERCOPS :D
Carlo Pedersolis grandson is fighting in the UFC these days!

One of the greatest countries ever, ruined by lefties, libbies and refugee's. Sad...

Ran by childless, over the hill women, who misplace their nurturing for a child with nurturing for a refugee.
All the World leaders that have no kids don't give a rat's ass about the future. They've sold the world out for a few shekels.
You can go down the list. Starting with that fruit Justin Trudeau, Theresa May, Old battle-ax Angela Merkel who shakes more than Adolph ever did in his final days and Emmanuel Macron. They have no vested interest in making this world a better place.
Europe is done for. Diversity is not a strength. That's just a made-up phrase. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be around people who are similar to you, have the same hopes and dreams and morals as you.
Stay in your own damn country and be you. Don't come over here and try to make us change to suit you.
Some think Trump is bad. The pendulum has not even reached its apex yet. People are waking up and tired to all this crap that a few select politicians have crammed down our throats.
When they sweep all the gang rape of little girls under the rug, you know they don't give a shit about humanity.

Bah.
Suddenly a hypothetical WWII victory by Adolf and the boys is seeming more and more ideal...
[not that I ever thought otherwise - and NO, I do not believe he had any systematic agenda to mass-murder Jews...simply to enact a policy of emigration, to get them to Israel, as per the Rothschild family's plans to make Israel a Jewish state. I think more and more people are seeing the war more for what it actually was, and not what Hollywood movies claim it was]

Hitler was The Man.

Hitler was The Man.
I take it you understand Hitler to be one of the most misrepresented and mis-characterized human beings in global history?
If Hitler even did a fraction of what ills are attributed to him, I would have a low view of him. Since there is no evidence of that, I don't have a low view of him. Given that communism was a global plague that saw the entrapment of over one BILLION people at its peak - and the deaths of hundreds of millions over its 70 year shelf-life...anyone can bet their ass they'd be desperate for the first leader trying to squash it before it spread.
Another comment I find annoying is when people say the Axis lost. Depending on estimates, up to 85 million people died...and under 10% of that figure were German and Italian deaths.
So yeah, what can I say, Germany and Italy took on THE ENTIRE WORLD, and the result was...pretty fucking close!
But close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades!

Spot on brother, Epic and very true post!!
To many it's common sense, to the brain dead it's "'sure, come on in. You can't be productive in your country, come on in and slurp off of our Teet now".
Stupid bastards...
Trudeau = Fruit. LOL

If you live in some form of democracy and women are allowed to vote, in time, your country will become just compassionate enough to destroy itself. :P

Yes very true. Good post. I have said this before also. These treasonous leaders are all childless.
The time is going to come where they will pay for their crimes. It is only a matter of when, not if. There will be civil wars coming to Europe. The men better wake up and take back their nations. White Men of Europe you are being led to the abyss by treasonous cockroaches. They deserve a painful, slow, public, medieval death. These traitors will get what they deserve.
What to do if they die before being punished? Well, they may be childless but they have extended family, friends, associates etc. ... All these people might pay for their sins.

Hitler was The Man.
You are mistaken Fortress. It has been proven via DNA studies that Hitler was part Jewish. Hitler was a Deep State agent and his task was to weaken Germany and kill off millions of Germans, British, French, Russians, Americans etc.
How many white people died in WW2 because of Hitler and Churchill? Now ask yourself how many white people were not born because of the two major Jewish banker wars - WW1 and WW2? 1 billion? Europe would be very very white today if WW1 and WW2 never happened. Hitler did not kill many non whites. But millions of white people perished. Now Hitler would not have happened if it was not for the Treaty of Versailles. So Hitler and Churchill were just two cogs in the white genocide wheel of the Globalists.
Hitler and Churchill were both financed by Jewish bankers. Go read up on it. Churchill was a bad gambler and his debt was bought up numerous times. He was a bought and paid for whore politician.
Today Merkel is continuing Hitler's work. Only this time she is doing it via mass immigration and suffocating the demographics of Germany. Instead of outright sending Germans to their deaths the way Hitler did the new agenda is to replace the population via immigration and mongrelize the remaining Germans to the point where they are not German anymore.
You are dealing with a sick, sneaky and evil agenda. You need to think smart here. Don't be stupid like Fredo.

Toward the end of the war Germany had missiles the V2. They were working on the nuclear bomb. They even had the jet but they couldn't go into production because they were losing the war. If they had jets during D day it would have had a different outcome. Don't interpret this as I wanted Germany to win because I'm glad they lost. They were causing trouble during World War I. Same for World War II. Even present day they forced the Muslim invasion on the rest of the EU.

In principle, every country on earth cares about their own people and their own culture.
Except for dickless-Sweden.
Here, four Somalis can take over an apartment building, and run wooden spears in neighboring cats, without a single authority acting.
Adult men cry from Fear and darkness, and silence and silence.
You are not afraid that more cats will die. You are afraid that the image of Nälden will be blackened.
Above all, ALL involved are afraid of losing their jobs. of four less pleasant people is portrayed as something successful. Reality must not be exposed in the media.
Anti-racists then try to find Nazi connections with those who complain about my neighbors. So no one can complain when they misbehave.
If you complain about killing a kitten, the complaint is because you have Nazi connections. Since you have no Nazi connections, the anti-racists have to resort to serious adult bullying and treat anyone who speaks truth as if it were a plague-infested person who, after all, has Nazi connections. As a final hug, you unfriend on facebook.
A chorus of anti-racists then stand around the Somalis and protect them no matter what they do. So they can continue hammering stones in the floor at night and scornfully calling us who live in the house for Swedish devils and putting stones in the washing machine and chasing cats and trying to kill kittens.
The rest takes care of the anti-racists. The mafia of coverups.
The people who hate Swedes and darken when there is group rape on Storgatan in Östersund.
At the same time, the anti-terrorists stand on a pedestal and appoint themselves for good.
Though everything around them is destroyed by their hypocrisy. Above all, they practice reverse racism and now their card house is collapsing. Sweden is in the trash.
You have to complain about Finns, Norwegians, Danes. Most preferably, you should complain about Swedish men.
Men of my age.
You can complain about the most peaceful and civilized men on earth, because self-hatred is considered something nice by Swedes.
There is nothing more meaningless than lying and creating a precarious society without rules. But it can happen when millions and millions of idiots imagine that there are Nazis. The most embarrassing scam in Sweden's history. Promoted by a retarded prime minister. The man who "does not build walls", but who lets his own people become poor pensioners.
Since nothing can be done, my neighbors are behaving the same way now. Recently, the neighbor girl would catch the neighbor's cat again.
And she usually stand and knock on my door with a wooden shaft when I'm not at home, so there are marks in the door.
It will be quick to take over Sweden and push and blow up its areas, for those who want to.
Because in girl-Sweden there are no men.
No honors.
No truth.
No morals.
Just paranoid brainwashed adults helpless, blindnessaddicted lunatics.

Good Euro news is: massive revolts in Catalonia/Barcelona & never ending British/BREXIT situation :D

Another wonderful
colored rapist somali (rape happened last year)
Thankfully an elderly woman called the police after seeing Mustafe raping a woman in Gothenburg.
(https://samnytt.se/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Mustafe.jpg)
He still gets to stay in Sweden and won't be deported.
