Here is my quick guide to learning any new language:
* Start with memorizing the 1,000 most common words in the language (this will make up over 90% of everyday conversation)
* Begin learning all of those words that are common to the English word (you will be surprised at how many they are)
* Learn 50-100 new words every day (by the end of 1 year you will be fluent)
* Whenever talking with a Swede do so in Swedish (typing, speech, etc..)
* Read blogs to get a feel for how to the grammar is used
* Listen to podcasts to understand how the words are pronounced
In terms of Swedish being similar to English I don't think it is even close. But could be useful if you want to life in Sweden, Norway, etc...
Google translate is your friend.
