    Her English is amazing!
    The Nordic countries (Sweden included) are known for being good English speakers, but even we have dialects.

    You should have also mentioned: Pomaze Bog! Bog ti pomogao/vam pomogao :D
    Quite a standard saying here in Vojvodina, and it comes from the soutern part of Serbia, but it is quite used across the whole country. The roots are religious, Christian, but I do believe they go way back in our history... back to the olden Slavs, Celts, "Iliri" and so on... even Russians still today use the sentence: Bog sa nami, or Bog sa vami (God be with us, or God be with you) Now there's a fun fact for everyone who want's to know more about Serbians, or Balkan people in general ;)

    Molim in Slovenian is Prosim. You could use Prosim for a million different responses; Hello, Goodbye, thank you, what, sure, you welcome, etc!! It just depends on how you pronounce it.
    Molim in Serbian & Bosnian I suspect is very similar. Its a good word to learn for a foreigner. Def. thumbs up for tourists crossing local borders ;)
