Swedes speak great English so you can get away without speaking a word of English. However, I suggest you study the languange as much as possible, especially if your like me and only speak English fluently :o(

If you have time buy an "interail pass". It's a train ticket with which you can use as much as you want the train. There is plenty of things to visit. For those who wanna work, Hergar'n (campus) and Nationarnahaus employ many students. It's not really well payed, but still.
