Many Swedes are fluent in English.\u00a0 This comes not only from school, but from movies, tv, and the internet.<\/p>

However, there are also many Swedes who are uncomfortable speaking English, or who cannot converse in English.\u00a0 \u00a0Signs and other messages are also in Swedish, so it is good for you to know some common words and phrases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Swedish language uses the same alphabet as English, with three additional letters:<\/h2>

\u00c5 comes after Z, and is pronounced like a long O in English.<\/h2>

\u00c4 comes after \u00c5, and is pronounced somewhat like a short a or short e in English.<\/h2>

\u00d6 is the last letter of the alphabet, and is pronounced a bit like the U in the word “put”.<\/h2>

NEVER confuse \u00c5 or \u00c4 with A, or \u00d6 with O.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
