it was a perfect country to learn English out of English speaking countries because most locals master English language too.

I chose Stockholm to have the opportunity to study Swedish. Meeting Swedes was quite difficult so I couldn't make the most out of the experience but now I can work as a professional translator from Swedish thanks to my Erasmus stay, so it definitely helped me to learn the language!
