I'm fairly certain her English will be really good. I was friends with a Swedish exchange student in high school, and my husband's family hosted a Swedish student when he was a teen. They both spoke excellent English, and my friend told me English classes were required in Sweden. (Of course, this was 20+ years ago...)

I remember reading a story a few years back about a scam going on in Japan. People were calling the vets up to schedule their dogs for grooming and to get their hooves trimmed. The vets were flabbergasted - HOOVES?? Seems that the Japanese were nuts over poodles at the time, but poodles were not easily available. So some jerk advertised and sold lambs as poodles, and the owners didn't have a clue. :shock:
