Hello, I would like to know if there are major language barriers in Sweden? I do no speak Swedish or any other Scandinavian language, and I am considering if it is worth learning some Swedish before travelling to Sweden. Is English widely spoken in Sweden? I am also wondering if there are more job opportunities (or better-paid jobs) for expats who understand at least basic Swedish, or if English would be enough? I'm also aware that the cost of living in Stockholm is high, so would be hoping for a decent salary to cover my living expenses.

Thanks
