The Great Gävle Goat - 10 Swedish Words #276

The Gävle Goat (Gävlebocken) is giant Christmas display of a Goat in the town of Gävle in southern Norrland. It has been erected since 1966 and has become famous because it most often burns down from vandalism. But history tells us that other forms of vandalism such as crushing it with cars, throwing it in the river and burning it a second time after it has been rebuilt. In this travel vlog I went to Gävle to see the Gävle goat for the first time with my own eyes. To see what all the fuss is about.

My channel is packed with Swedish tutorials and language challenges where you can learn everything from nouns and verbs to grammar and special Swedish words. I also talk about places in Sweden and where you as a tourist can visit. I have made youtube videos for over 10 years and 10 Swedish Words started with me explaining 10 Swedish words that don't exist in English. You can also find videos about Norse Mythology, my deep-talk series Good Talk and other info about Sweden and Swedish culture.

Snow in northern Dalarna

Northern Dalarna in winter is wonderful. I saw it when I visited my friends Vito and Barbara, who manage a very nice Vandrarhem in Särna.
