Swedish

Swedish shares Norwegian's simplicity — no verb conjugation by person, straightforward word order, and massive vocabulary overlap with English. IKEA furniture names have been teaching the world Swedish for decades (KALLAX means "cold" + suffix, MALM means "ore"). The pitch accent exists but is less prominent than Norwegian. Swedish has more learning resources than Norwegian thanks to a larger population (10 million speakers) and Sweden's outsized cultural exports in music, gaming, and design.
