There’s only so much you can do in a week – or, according to Oliver Burkeman, in the roughly 4,000 weeks the average human lives. Oliver is a journalist and author of the books Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, Meditations for Mortals, and the newsletter “The Imperfectionist.” Chris and Oliver discuss the paradox of why change can only occur once we accept that we might not be able to change. Oliver also shares how life’s mishaps can become our most treasured memories and why sharing your imperfections is an act of generosity.

There is one fundamental tradition that still lives on in Sweden. This tradition is called fredagsmys or cosy Friday.

So when does this yet another social phenomenon came about? Find out more in this episode! In the "Words of The Day" segment, we look at phrases used at the cashier at a supermarket.

God fortsättning! Gott Nytt År !! Gott Slut!! These are the many ways of bidding farewell or wish anyone a Happy New Year.. So 2020 is finally coming to an end. In this special edition, I will be sharing fond memories of my first New Year's Eve celebration in Stockholm. Ting Wei will share his memories of firecrackers or fireworks. In Singapore, it is illegal to have any form of firecrackers or fireworks in your possession. If you would like to dive further into Swedish, here are some of my recommendations: 1. Say It in Swedish podcast This podcast is great for all levels (Absolute beginner to Advanced level). It has even "Pronunciation" episodes where you will learn how to pronounce the letters and combination letters properly so that you will sound like a Swede! Check out their webpage at www.sayitinswedish.com to find out more. 2. Simple Swedish Podcast This podcast is more for anyone who has passed the beginner's stage and are still working on grasping the language. Fredrik Arhusiander speaks at slower pace and uses simple every day vocabulary in his podcast episodes. So, don't worry about that! 3. Radio Sweden på Lätt Svenska This is more of daily news in simple Swedish. Good for training your listening comprehension. 4. Swedishpod101.com You can bring your lessons anywhere with this mobile app. All you need is Wifi or 3G/4G connection. You can choose a free account or paid account with them. DISCLAIMER: I am not sponsored or paid by any of these to advertise for them. I am merely sharing with you what I am using because these are very good resources to start learning Swedish. Thank you everyone for your support since the very beginning. With that, I wish you Gott Nytt År and vi hörs om två veckor! Puss och Kram från mig, Tini, YOUR Fikadrottning!…

Did you know that tea was never the beverage in England until the women folk slowly caught on it slowly as they perceived it to be a genteel drink (according to Peets.com ) and that Ireland was the second-biggest per capita consumer of tea in the world?!! This week's phrase is the follow up to last week's "Behöver du hjälp?" (Do you need help?).

Lucia or Saint Lucy's Day is celebrated annually on the 13th of December. This is one tradition in Sweden that I certainly look forward to (even though I do not celebrate Christmas). I remembered the first Lucia procession I witnessed at Skansen with my kompis in 2010. I also witnessed the crowning of Lucia in Gothenburg in 2013. Both experiences were magical. As we are still shopping for julklappar (Christmas gifts), we are looking into a useful phrase that you may hear from a sales person. The phrases are: "Vill du ha hjälp?" or "Behöver du hjälp?".

Its origin is quite interesting as there are a few versions. No matter where prata originated from, it is a quick, delicious meal for any time of the day.

Whenever you bring a punnet of strawberries to a party, chances are you will be asked if they are Swedish. The Swedes are obsessed with these Earth's rubies that a shortage of them is seen as a major catastrophe. The Swedish strawberries are the "celebrity" fruit during summer as you may have noticed the midsommartårtor or gräddtårtor med jordgubbar in every social gathering at the recent midsummer celebration. They are the key ingredients in many Swedish desserts, too. What makes them so special? They are bite-size; easy to pop them in your mouth, sweet, divine and flavourful, unllike those that I have eaten before. Smultron is a wild strawberry that you can only find them in the forest if you have bionic eyes because they are tinier than the Swedish strawberries. All these talk about strawberries is making me hungry. Enjoy listening to today's podcast while I'll go and pick some smultron before they all run out!…

6th of June marks a significant day in Sweden whereby this is the day in history when Gustav Vasa was elected as king after the dissolution from the Kalmar Union in 1523. The day which was originally celebrated as the Swedish Flag Day ( Svenska flaggans dag) is now a day to be celebrated as a national day. Don't be alarmed if your Swedish friends may not seem patriotic. They are indeed patriotic as you can see at events such as during a football match or Eurovision Song Contest. Skansen will usually be packed on this day as the Swedes wait eagerly for the arrival of the Royal Family (who don on the traditional costume), followed by a concert by homegrown artists. This is also a day where the Swedish flags are permitted to be displayed. The Swedes celebrate this day with fläderblomssaft bubblies and some gräddtårta med jordgubbar. Happy National Day!!…
