\nIn April\u2019s Fools Day spirit, we\u2019re going to have a little fun with today\u2019s music blog post. One of my favorite memories of living in Sweden was gathering with friends for a round\u00a0Musikquiz<\/em> (Music Trivia) at our local pub. So today, we\u2019re going to play a version of Swedish music trivia in the style of\u00a0 \u201ctwo truths and a lie.” Ready?! Nu k\u00f6r vi! <\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Instruktioner<\/em> \/ Instructions<\/b>
\n<\/span>We\u2019ll meet 9 Swedish artists\/groups below from past and present. I\u2019ve written three fun facts about each of them, but only two are true. Your goal is to weed out the false factoid! In typical Swedish trivia fashion, the <\/span>svarsalternativ<\/span><\/i> (answer options) are 1, X, and 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first 3 questions are the easiest of the bunch AND written in relatively simple Swedish. As we progress, you may find the questions more difficult and the language becomes slightly more advanced, too (perhaps not if you’re a native Swedish speaker)! If you\u2019re a Swedish music fan, this should be <\/span>l\u00e4tt som en pl\u00e4tt<\/span><\/i>, that\u2019s \u201ceasy as a pancake.\u201d No googling for the answers, I\u2019ll give them to you below!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
