Hi LoupBlanc,
Sorry for the bad language and attitude from some in this forum. Swedes are'nt always very cultivated...
In reply to your question I would like to present a very Swedish phenomena. If a group of people is discussing a matter in IRL, the group gets very uneasy and threatened if someone voices a different opinion. Everyone is expected to think the same (so why bother discussing in the first place?!) I find this very boring and unhealthy. The French way of debating, exchanging views and respecting the opponent, is much more stimulating and mind-broadening. Vive la difference!
The Nordic countries differs quite a lot in mentality.
Denmark is famous for their "hygge", enjoying the good life, which for Danes may involve a lot of smoking and fatty foods.
Norway is famous for their wealth, which is due to the oil found relatively late, think it was during the 1960-ies. They are obsessed with long skiing and their cottages ("hytta") in the snowy Norwegian mountains.
Finns are the tough ones. Not very talkative, action speaks louder. Loves their Saunas and hard liquour. Language differs completely from the other Nordic ones, as well as the mentality (in my opinion there's generally a strong link between language and mentality).
Denmark, Norway and Finland were all invaded and or involved in WW2, which probably toughened these countries.
Sweden was left unscaved, and maybe a bit naive, "why should anything bad happen to us?".
As to France, I have studied French and understand it quite well if not spoken to fast.
I have visited Paris, you guys were very kind and polite.
Wishing you and France all the best! 🇨🇵
