You should also include a question to see if they can tell "Switzerland" from "Sweden". Believe it or not, I've known quite a few people who can't! There was a Swiss girl, who spoke GERMAN, who moved here in high school. At the time, I had to keep reminding some of my friends that she wasn't "the Swedish girl". Now it's a couple of years later, and in everyone's memory she is officially Swedish. M
