Personal comments:
I was lucky because I already spoke a pretty good English, so I did not have some problems at the beginning like someone experienced. Swedish people both inside and outside the university environment speaks an eccellent English. After my stay in Sweden my fluency improved a lot and my vocabulary has become much larger.
