    Can confirm as a swede almost everybody knows english ^^ Most exchange students at the university I studied at had issues learning the language as everybody just defaulted to speaking english with them. The people I know also don’t really care about Swedish either, not very nationalistic in that sense.

      Met a friend online that’s from Sweden, but didn’t learn that fact for a few months. Until then I would’ve thought they grew up near me, there was no discernible accent.
