A great number of Swedes speak English fluently. Basically if you speak English in Sweden you can actually live normally there. Sure it's good to know Swedish language additionally, but just English will be enough.

isn't that the case in poland as well? I just found it odd that in the story about her immigration to sweden they threw that in.

English as a second language is basically required in Western Europe and is part of the public education system. At least if you stick to the cities, you can communicate universally throughout W. Europe in English.

yeah, it sucks for us native english speakers since everyone wants to talk to us in English. Makes it hard to practice other languages.
