<p>I have a Swedish friend and the only thing I’ve been able to pick up on is “Hej.”</p>
<p>French is a lot simpler. I love French. I’m going to learn Swedish though… I might get my Swedish friend to teach me. hahaha</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nice. I used my French and Spanish skills to figure that out. 
I wonder if it’s always that easy. Can you say something else? :D</p>

<p>uh. Nevermind. :p</p>
<p>Edit: Wait. I looked it up. The first part makes sense. “The teacher saw”, right? Although I’m guessing not everything comes from French or Spanish or other romance languages.</p>
<p>Husband is Swedish…very hard language to learn and the native speakers don’t have a lot of patience with those learning ( and are not shy about sharing this ) It is kind of funny , but in all these years I do my best to interpret their broken English , but they really pick on those who fumble their language , and I am not really doing my best… I understand a lot more than I can speak :D</p>
<p>^My Swedish friend speaks almost perfect English and she’s always lived in Sweden. I’m actually amazed with how well the Swedish people I know can speak English… But then again, they start taking it at 5.</p>
<p>According to my friend, everyone in Sweden knows English, so it doesn’t seem to be a useful language to know… though an interesting study.</p>
<p>Of course you’ve had a different experience… so who knows? XD</p>
<p>But anyways, French will be by far more useful.</p>

<p>According to people I know in Minnesota, Scandinavian languages are commonly taught. More so than French, in fact.</p>
