When entering a foreign country for an extended period of time, it's not necessary to learn the language. However, looking at a few basic pronunciation lessons might be advised.
Domkyrkan is the name of the magnificent cathedral within Uppsala.
KY in swedish is pronounced like our 'sh.'
i hadn't realized that.
to pronounce kyrkan with the strong K sound and not the SH sound makes a new word: slang for cock.
so instead of saying holy church to my professors, history department head, and the nice old lady who runs a cafe I frequent, I have been saying 'holy cock.'
Holy cock, indeed.
