In English–Swedish communication, rapport is a tricky word, truly a false friend.

Rapport in English refers to a harmonious relationship, a good understanding, or an ability to communicate well. A speaker wants to have a good rapport with his or her audience. They are, as the saying goes, on the same wavelength. In Swedish, this would be bra publikkontakt, bra relation.
