    We swedes do have that annoying habit of just switching to English because its easier. Feel free to remind people that you’re trying to learn Swedish and most people will understand and be helpful.

      Most the yuros do. And then they’ll blast you for it behind your back. It’s a continent problem. Y’all lack the context of not needing a common language and it being the default. There is simply little value here beyond academics and arguably some added cultural context. And them of course politeness gets in the way of practice.
