Mälardalens Högskola (MDH)

I put the main focus on improving and refreshing my english skills when attending a Swedish university. Most of the Swedish citizens speak astonishing good english. So it is a reason why I would always recommend a Swedish university to imrpove english skills. Being able to learn the basics of Swedish was another reason for me to attend a Swedish university. We had slight problems in Swedish class for the reason that the teacher was not as firm in english as it is probably expected. But by the end of the course the students waere able to cope in all day situations. Last but not least I want to highlight that it is not easy to get in touch with local people in Sweden. They are rather reserved when it comes to get in contact with "foreigners" Therefore if somebody wants to learn more than just the basics of the swedish language, I'd advise him to look for a shared flat where he will be in touch with local students.

By living in Sweden, I learned many phrases and words that I may not have studied in the classroom. It was very educational just to go shopping downtown or out to eat with friends. There is nothing that can replace the education and language experience you get by living in the country where that language is spoken. It was also good to know that if I was really having trouble, I could always use English, as most Swedes speak that as a second language. Most of my language frustration occurred in the classroom where the instruction was more advanced than I was ready for.

In Sweden...you don't need to know swedish,it's not a paradox, it means everyone know english very well.You can have a course in Swedish for foreign students,it's easy and nice,and it doesn't take time.If you are interested in Swedish courses and in learning swedish language,of course there are a lot of opportunities

In Sweden, most of the people speak english. At my university, there were a lot of international students. It was frequent to hear some swedes speaking in english to make them understand with their friends! Swedes easily talk english. I had then no problem to get to know Swedish people

Languages are good. i was only one from my country all my life was in engklish and sometimes in russian, so i learned a lot of english, other people learn not so much as they stay with their friends from same country:D i hate them:D they dont like english

I SPEAK NATIVE SWEDISH BECAUSE I LEVED THERE WHEN I WAS LITTLE FOR 5 YEARS SO I HAD NO COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS AT ALL. I LOVE LANGUAGES AND I HAD THE CHANCE TO SPEAK SWEDISH WITH NATIVES AND PRACTICE OTHER LANGUAGES I SPEAK (FRENCH, ENGLISH, SPANISH...)
