Love seeing how many languages people speak! I myself speak 4 fluent - Hebrew (my native language), English (school and life), Portuguese (mom from Brasil), and Spanish (telenovelas and it's an easy language). I took 6 years of French in school so I I understand a lot and can read some stuff but I can have very basic conversation. I tried learning Polish for 6 months, such a difficult language and I know only random words

There is a difference between knowing/speaking a language, vs understanding it. For example, I can understand Czech but it doesn't mean I speak it well. Yes, we Swedes can understand Norwegian, especially the Oslo dialect given that Swedish and Norwegian are more mutually intelligible than Swedish and Danish. Though, a point of note is that it does seem like the Norwegian Language is not as standardized as Swedish. Regional dialecticism seem stronger in Norway than it does in Sweden. A point I have heard in a lot of videos talking about whether to learn Norwegian or Swedish when learning one of the Scandinavian languages.

I am from Germany, I am fluent in german and speak some english and spanish. I want to learn japanese, russian, portuguese, arabic, french, korean, hungarian, chinese, hebrew, and a scandinavian language. I know it will take me a lot of time but it makes me really happy. :)

No-one were speaking finnish. Big surprice becouse finnish travels alot in Sweden and mostly at Stockholm area. There are also lots of finns that lives in Sweden. But as a finn i have noticed that very few swedish people talks finnish. Of course it is very hard to learn and is so different than other Scandinavic laguages. Here in Finnland we have to learn english and swedish at school. In Finland Sweden is our second formal language and at the coast area there is many places that most of the people speaks swedish. I am from Kokkola and here about 5-10% of the people speaks swedish. Costline up to north from here is finnish speakers and down to south all the way almost till Pori people speaks mostly swedish (except in Vaasa where most are finnish speakers). But as we have long border with Russia, eastern people speaks more russia than swedish.

@lucone2937

It's strange that an interviewer couldn't find people who speaks mainly Swedish and Finnish in Stockholm but languages like Spanish. English is usually the strongest foreign language for the native Finnish speakers. The native Swedish speakers in Finland live mainly in western and southern coastal regions like Vaasa (Vasa) and Helsinki (Helsingfors) and in the province of Ahvenanmaa (Åland). I don't think the Finns in eastern Finland are particularly good at Russian, but there's a relatively small Russian minority who usually understand more or less Finnish or English Otherwise English is a neutral language that most of Finns prefer to use when they meet Swedes, and of course the whole Anglo-American popular culture is a big reason for its popularity.

What does speking a language mean? I am fluent in three (Standard German, Swiss German, and English) I have retained quite a bit of passive knowledge in French from school, but when I want to speak it, English gets in the way, because of the many related words. I can get by in Italian when push comes to shove. I know a few phrases in Russian and Japanese. I can say "I don't speak Japanese" in Japanese, which always gets a laugh. I can understand written Dutch quite well, spoken, not so much. And I was surprised how much Swedish I could get listening to the few Swedes in this video.

Interesting, I'll reply in my language English so as not to catch you out. I was always told that Swiss(I'm a Brit of Swiss French descent) and Belgians were trilingual but after studying French again, I realised that people living in non Francophone areas just can't be that fluent in French, there simply aren't enough hours in the day. Ive studied French and Japanese to a B2 level, both requiring immense effort. If a non native says they speak French, in 99% of cases its extremely basic.

Just by historical accident, English reached this international level of being the most common language, and it's kind of amazing that in Europe it's how people from all these different cultures talk to each other - convenient for all of us who can't speak anything else.
