After visiting a few times the people and the country are one of my favorite places in the world.

Learning Swedish is fairly difficult to get the hang of as an American as there is no other Language like it on our continent.
I only know basics like how to order a coffee, counting to 100 or express thanks and, ask people if they speak English.

Seeing as how Sweden is a highly educated nation and has numerous Fluent English speakers, would you rather converse with me in English than have to deal with my broken Swedish?

Tack för din tid

A lot of people will prefer talking English as long as you've got an accent.

Helluu, big summer blöw out!

It depends really! I feel quite confident speaking english and if the one i am havin' a conversation with is more comfortable with it i wouldnt mind at all.

But i guess from a learning point of view, speaking Swedish is better:)

See I think this is the main problem with learning Swedish; most swedes prefer speaking english, as Giraff says, as long as you have an accent.

And that's a real shame, people struggling with language is a good thing, it means they're learning. Let them struggle and correct their mistakes, Swedish people are just too comfortable to have to deal with accents and mistakes.

Meaning they would rather speak English than hear my terrible American accent on Swedish words?

Or they want to hear my American accent speaking English?

I'd much rather speak english than swedish. But that's because i think its fun and more challenging.

American or English doesn't matter at all

however if you prefer talking Swedish and trying to learn i hardly Think anyone will give you a rough time, instead they might help you or answer in English to make it easier for you.

Any particular reason for your correct spelling of "favourite" and not "favorite" like your fellow americans?

Color or colour that is the question.
