One good things especially in northern Sweden is that there are only few main roads, so there you will get along rather well. Be carefull to stand somewhere where there is some sign of civilisation. As especially in the north the roads are no real highways and accessable for pedestrians, you can stop all the traffic, especially if you stand on something like a busstop. When the streets are real highways you have to take care a little on which gas station you end up, as there are too much of them, so there sometimes is only little traffic on them, and as most of the gas stations are one or two kilometers away from the highway.
While travelling, I had the feeling that a sign helped a lot, but try that out for yourself. Another thing I noticed was that more women took me than in Germany...
There is no special need of practicing your Swedish since almost everyone speaks English there.
