I wish my native language wasn't English...

haha, German dialects like bayerisch or "Kölsch" sound great (imo)

y not? I wish it would be my native language *drop* I mean it's much more useful than German...

Well, I took Spanish for a couple of years.
I've forgotten much of it, though, but I still know enough to get by, I suppose. :3

Why? You still learned to communicate in English.
So you're fine.
In America, unless you live in or by
a big city like me, a foreign language
is useless.

I mean, here in Chicago,
there are 3 VERY popular languages.
English, Polish and Spanish.
Even if you only know Polish or Spanish
here, you could live fine.
Even stations of our radio are in Polish and Spanish.

Kind of hard for me to say, since I grew up with it I never found it hard.
Since you know German you probably have an advantage, Swedish is a Germanic language so several words are the same/quite similar. The grammar however is quite different and Swedish grammar seems to be quite inconsistent so it might be a bit difficult to learn.

A friend of mines sister-in-law comes from Germany and she's only lived here for about 2 years, she didn't speak a lot when she came here and now her Swedish is almost flawless (she has an accent though) so it hardly seems impossible to learn.
