Language was a challenge. Even though I speak other languages, swedish is very different to what I've experienced before. Overall the learning was satisfactory. I am really happy to have learnt Swedish.

All students are fluent with English; it's not a matter if you don't speak Swedish just maybe if you read newspapers. Even radio stations and TV are often in English (subtitled movies)

Although I had opportunity to learn Swedish, the course I was doing was in English and so Intensive that there wasn't enough time to go for Swedish lessons.
