Travel to Stockholm if you can, it is fantastic. Also, when travelling have food with you as it can take many many hours to get to your location.

Personal comments

I learnt Swedish for five months at the University. Only two months was compusary. If you want to learn the language break away from the internmational students and hang around with Swedes. I lived with an Italian who couldnt speak much english to start with but picked it up very quickly. A great place to go to learn English!
