Varför vill Pauline åka till Sverige?

"One of my main motivations for participating in an exchange semester is wanting to add Swedish to the list of languages I speak. From the beginning on, I knew that if I would participate in an exchange semester it would be in Sweden. My desire to speak Swedish actually came before the idea of an exchange semester and learning through actually being around native speakers seemed (and still seems) like a fantastic idea."

"I am really looking forward to meeting you, learning about your culture and being part of your family for a semester."
