It might be interesting to know that it's not entirely unusual for people to learn Swedish but stick to speaking English making English optional for the locals. I know of at least two people in my small city of Skövde that does that because they are more comfortable with speaking English (one is Icelandic and the other German). There was also a mainstream TV show a few years back (maybe it's still running?) about home improvment where the lead designer did the same and I'm not sure it was even subtitled.
