Strange noises Swedes make that you won't find in a dictionary

  • Resumen

  • Sweden’s population is shrinking as emigration exceeds immigration for the first time in over 50s. Is this true and if so, should it be cause for celebration? Will higher inflation numbers affect next week's interest rate cut? Why a proposal to pay refugees to return has been summarily rejected by the government’s own inquiry. Finally, we attempt to replicate some of the strange noises Swedes use to express themselves.


    James Savage stands in as host this week, and is joined by The Local's Emma Löfgren and Richard Orange.
