I speak English for most of the time. I also can speak Chinese and Japanese, so when I see the Japanese students or Swedish students who can speak Japanese -- I also speak Japanese with them.

My aim was not to learn Swedish, but to gain more experience on international studies. The corses were held in English and that wasn't a problem for me since my knowledge of English is fluent.

Everybody in Sweden speaks English, which is for me almost a second mother tongue; I would have liked indeed to learn a bit more of Swedish.

The language of instruction at my host university is english, althouhg I wasn't requiered to learn the Swedish Language in order to study in Sweden, it is a good idea to learn the local language and to practice it with your friends at any time.
