I did not learn the Swedish, because all the natives were speaking English, and the lectures were given in English as well. As a consequence, I improve my English skills quite well...

you have to stay focused if you want to learn the Swedish language, it is very tempting to switch to English since the people in Sweden have a very good knowledge of English.

I improved my English level little-by-little. I took Swedish courses but I had to give it up since I had no time to study it (I had a lot of work with the other courses)
