Swedish is a pretty bouncing language xD It is quite easy to speak, actually. I speak finnish-swedish better, swedish-swedish is way more harder to even understand (there is two ways to speak swedish. I don´t know the words for them, but in finnish, they are called "suomen-ruotsi" and "riikin-ruotsi".´Swedish people who live in Finland usually speak the "finnish-swedish".)

Before we started studying swedish in school, we used to act like we could speak it by accenting (?) wrong parts of finnish-words. It sounded so real xD

Like this:

"Lastenkodinkadulla me rikomme reen. "

If you add a lift of voice in the bold parts, it sounds like swedish (if you get me xD)! The phrase means "On Children´s Home Street we broke a sled".
