As the language of instructions was English and also the courses I chose were held in English it wasn't a problem. Almost all Swedish people know English very well, and as I also participated in a Swedish course, I started to expand my knowledge also in daily communication e.g. try to order in Swedish, easy conversation with Swedish students etc….

Most of the swedish people speak very well english, so I did not experience any communicational problems. The university offered me swedish lessons, so at the end I'm able to understand swedish at the basic level

The amount of literature helps you to get involved with the neccessary vocabulary. So, in the beggining expect to study hard to get involved.

Again if you are a guest student, it is hard to find a free Swedish course offered by the school. Always priority is to exchange students.
