Get a job in Sweden (teaching English or English-speaking office job - Eriksson and the Karolinska must have such things). Put serious effort into becoming fluent in Swedish so that I can then also teach Swedish (and a little French on the side).
Not necessarily as stupid as it sounds because:
1. The Swedish government put serious resources into Swedish classes for immigrants. The principles of language teaching are transferable amongst languages, so once I get fluent in Swedish hey presto, I have a whole new skill set.
2. The more Swedish I hear, the more I think I could become fluent quickly. To me it's way more intuitive than German (it probably helps that I know how Germanic languages work) and it doesn't involve any sounds I fundamentally can't make.

Edit: Requires EU citizenship. Must get arse in gear.
