Personal comments
Although the swedish spoken in south of Swden (skåne) differs from swedish spoken in Finland or in Stockholm (capital) area , once you get used to the intonation and to the rhythm you pick up the languae very easily. Language used i by professors is easy to understand , and everyone will modify their pronounciation to make it easier for foreigners. Overall knowledge of english is excellent, like in most scandinavian countries.
