The language is pretty similar to German and Dutch. So if I had taken the learning this local language (swedish), it would not have been a problem. Concerning communication experience, problems came mostly in the beginning, but everything seems to be back to normal gradually. I have a countless number of friends here. I am having a good time here.

With english language was everything ok, and later on i get more experience and could talk more better and fluently. With the local language( Swedish)it was not so easy. But at least now i know some phrases :) But i would like to learn this language to speak so good as english!

Firstly, I was a little bit shy, so I tried to speak as less as possible, but through weeks, I got involved, and I spoke so much with all kind of people

I am very interested in Sweden that is why I chose Skövde to study abroad. I wanted to learn swedish. For Germans it is not so difficult to study swedish. I improved my English while I was studying in Sweden. I am able to talk, write or discuss in English.
