I may be American and only speak English, but the question of "where are you from?" is still perfectly understandable.

It's kinda wild how well our brains are able to figure out what's happening from body language and the half of the conversation we get, and can just fill in the blanks of the other half.

The shared Germanic roots of English and Scandinavian languages helps, too. If you read what she's saying phonetically in English most of it is understandable.

As is "same here" and "North? South?" The rest is more iffy.

Where are you from? North? South? Sweden?

I thought it might have been Sweden, but I only counted the things I didn't have to look up to be sure what they meant.
