Also, cheer will get easier. Its a lot about muscle memory. By the end of the school year, you will be killing it.
What do you miss the most from sweden? Everyone: thinking about family and friends Sofia: *My Dog*

it makes me happy to see videos like this, i don’t feel like i’m the only one who’s away from home :)
About your accent, for me it's very obvious but I'm swedish so I'm very familiar with the accent. But what is the most obvious for me is the way you pronounce the letter T sometimes, it sounds very "Swenglish" so that's what really gives it away
i'm from arizona ! and seeing you so happy here just makes me so happy.
I love your videos Sofia! Good luck in the new school ❤️ly
A month? Woah it only seems like a week!
This was so sweet ❤️ love you sm! have all the fun just live in the moment in the US it's an experience for a lifetime ❤️
By the way. *You don't change your accent. It's a product of your environment.* When I was in Texas for 3 months and came back to California, all my friends told me I had an accent. So I changed my California accent on purpose? Of course not. Not only that, when you speak a language you slowly adapt your English to the way other people speak English. Same when I learned Spanish. I speak Spanish because so many people here speak the language, but where I live most Spanish speakers are from Mexico. So I have their accent. If I'd have gone to Spain I'd sound like them, or to Cuba, then I would sound Cuban.
SOFIA + ISAAC =. 💖💗💋❤️ 👇 IF U AGREE [edit: thanks for ALL the likes. you all are special💯❤️]

I’m so glad youre enjoying it!💘 I’m 20 and have no dream of going on an exchange year but i find yours so interesting and i looooove following along with how youre doing! And also Im very jealous lol
Hey i like your videos a lot even tho I‘m not in school anymore! I lived in the US for 13 months as an Au pair just a little advice... I only got home sick around Christmas time so I would suggest to hang out with your friends as much as possible (if you get homesick) 😊
You are inspiring me so much to do an exchange year in the USA in like 2-3 (I’m 14 )and I’ve been loving your Arizona videos so much like I’m always waiting for your videos even tho you upload videos quite often😍😍
Different conversations .asked good questions. Slick
I’m glad you want to focus on the present moment and enjoy your short time in America. It’s good that you don’t want to watch Netflix and worry too much about what’s going on back home. Be alive in the moment. So proud of you for trying something as bold as moving to another country. :)
I really do want to do an exchange year but I don’t want to miss out on opportunities back at home and in terms of subjects and things like, I am in Australia so we start school in February and finish in December. It makes things really difficult
So happy that you are enjoying Arizona
Yesss you should definitely do the separate video about high school in the US!

U deserve more subscribers and success
I get how you feel about the homesickness. Tomorrow I will be leaving to go and travel for 5 months. I'm so scared i'll be very homesick and won't like it at all. Even tough i know it'll all be alright, it's still very scary.
yayy!! so glad hope your doing well i love you❤️💕
Yay! Congrats! I hope you like America!
Love watching your journey ❤️❤️❤️
Love you Sofia!! ❤️ Love from The Bahamas ☺️✨

The painful and sad news is the disaster of fires in the Amazon and Brazil We must protect forests and farms everywhere This is everyone's responsibility without exception These trees and plants reduce global warming That is why we must protect trees and plants from drought and fires And Criminals who set fire to the Amazon and Brazil forests must be punished
Are you going to move to the USA after you’re out of school?
was about to sleep but sofia uploaded 😤🔝
I ALWAYS wanted to go on an exchange year and have looked in it for so long, but it was too expensive for me.. And sometimes I still regret not going. But I hope I can do my minor in the USA!
But I'm not alone I have few many friends !!! My friend my everything I love my all friend
I was wondering if I should go on an exchange year/ semester? I am in my first year of high school in the US. I can understand Spanish very well, but I would need to improve my talking skills. I’m also concerned about my grades because my parents want me to have good grades. How do they transfer if I go an an exchange year? Thanks to anyone who replies.

Lauren M maybe you should see if your school does any trips. My school did a trip to Costa Rica for a few weeks for students who wanted to learn and who knew Spanish.
Wait until January and it is 75 F. I think you will like that climate then.
The food market hahaha. I am from Quebec (french Canada) and I did an exchange in Sweden two years ago already... I remember my first real day in Uppsala, I went to ICA and started crying because it was so different from our food market hahaha. Now I am laughing about it, but I think it's the only thing where it felt like a cultural shock
how did you come to the decision to become an exchange student? did you ask your parents ?

Her father had made an exchange year in Arizona too, so maybe because of that she do it.
It's true, Sweden doesn't make you very happy when you're in highschool it's hard, yes there are like no rules and it's so chill but everyone is so to themselves it's hard to make friends, no wonder you're happier in USA
Omg I’m from Sweden! Jag ska göra ett utbytes år i USA också
someone give Sofia her pillow
Wake up early one day and make is special for your friends ♥ Don't make a schedule, like okay guys on Monday mornings I will facetime you... you will get burnt out and maybe hate having a schedule for facetime and both parties will get burnt out on it. Best advice, keep in touch with your friends... but not systematic, but do because they love you. Also, your host family is private. Just say, "Hey my cousin is Pewdiepie ! ♥ " -- great video and Welcome to "Da" USA... so sorry you are in Arizona right now, so dang hot!
I called my hostfamily like mom and dad and i think it feels more how a family then when you call them whit names
anyone else think she looks a bit like kate elizabeth?
What is The hardest subject in School?
I looove your accent so much
Can you please Vlog 😍 (like shopping vlogs , nightroutine , or a day in my life outside of school )😂😂😭
It’s ok to have more than one home! Arizona could be your second home or your home away from home! 👍
You’re such a big inspirational for me bc I really wanna live in the USA and study there but at the same time don’t wanna leave my family and Sweden and it’s so long until then so I shouldn’t be worried haha but thank you for your videos they help a lot❤️ I’m a small youtuber on the road to 800 subcribers 💞

A big thing that people care about is that you are different. You likely won't have trouble because people will be curious about you and where you are from. This might be an issue because it's harder to judge the type of people you want to be friends with, but I can promise that almost everyone will want to at least try to be your friend.
2 person here yay love your vids
Where’s your cheer vid :(
you're so tanned!!

Hi, I always wanted to go and live in USA for a year with exchange program. I was looking for the right one for a really loooooong time and I failed. So I gave up. About a year after that I found you and now I can't get this idea from my head, because I really want to go. It's my dream country. I understood that right after I visited it this spring. Can you tell me what's the name of this exchange program? I would really appreciate that. P. S. When I watch your videos it feels like it's possible to make my dream come true, I'm really thankful for that
