improving my english

Are they? Good for them, but I don't think the Swedes or Danes bother to learn Norwegian.
They don't have the capacity.

In general, Norwegians understand BOTH Swedish and Danish (except the unintelligible Danish spoken by 90% of them, that they don't understand themselves, either), whereas Swedes can't understand either Danish or Norwegian, while Danes don't understand anything.

I think improving language skills orally is best via a tandem partner - speak to native speakers, it most natural. Your written language is good though. If you do not find a native speaker just listen to English songs, watch English movies and try to get something from that. Anyway, traveling to the countries where the language is spoken is of course the best thing to do.
