Because Swedes generally speak English and can communicate fluently, immigrants and Swedish natives can also use English as a third language for normal daily communication.
Compared with English, French, Portuguese and Chinese, Swedish speakers are not widely distributed. Except Sweden, Swedish is regarded as the official language of the country, and some residents in Finland also speak Swedish, with a population of about10 million. It can be said that Swedish is a veritable small language.
For Swedish immigrants who can speak English, not speaking Swedish has little effect on their daily life.
However, it is very necessary for Swedish immigrants to learn Swedish well if they want to truly integrate into Swedish society. In addition to passive acceptance in class, they should actively use it in daily life.
