Learning a language opens up another world

I arrived in Sweden in October last year without any knowledge of the place, its culture or its language. One year on, I still feel that I am only scratching the surface of integrating into the Swedish way of life.
It has been very difficult to learn Swedish for two reasons: first, the Swedes almost all speak perfect English; second, all the language training is grammatically based. As someone who was educated without learning English grammar, it is now twice as difficult to learn a foreign language. Persistence has been the only way to learn and I am now able to have full scale conversations.
I would say that if you plan to come and live in Sweden or any of the Scandinavian countries you will be made more welcome if you make the effort to learn the language. Sir Trevor McDonald's comments about a monolinguistic society are absolutely true - learn another language and the world opens up for you.
