No, it wasn't. Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: Basic phrases Personal comments:
Swedes are very capable of speaking English. Actually, i've taken a Swedish course in Falun (Sweden) before moving to Halmstad. Later, i've tried to practice my Swedish but i have never come across such a situation in which i had to use my Swedish. Whenever you have difficulty speaking Swedish, you can speak English and Swedes will perfectly understand you. This may sound great BUT you can not practice Swedish even in Sweden!!!

When I arrived in Halmstad University, I did not know whether I would learn Swedish or not, I chose to do so and I haven't been disappointed, on the contrary ! I liked it so much that I continued when back to France : I applied for Swedish lessons in the Swedish Culture centre in Paris!

As everyone in Sweden speaks English and many also German, you don't need to speak Swedish; even if you start talking Swedish, you'll soon end up in English; so only slight improvements of my Swedish; would have learned here more, as the Swedish-course in Halmstad started with 0 This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Swedish was the local language. Though almost the entire population speak english fluently. So I did not have any problems most of the time. Though rarely situations occured where I needed to communicate in Swedish, which I found a bit difficult. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
