How Many Languages do Swedes Speak?

Hey everyone, in this video I ask swedish people how many languages they know and also a language they're interested in learning.

It's crazy how honest they are, a lot of people in some countries tend to say they speak multiple languages, but instead they barely speak it well, whereas in Sweden they openly say, they speak 2 fluently and the others not in a very dissent level

Respect to the girl who talked about sign language! I agree! More people should learn it and we all mighy lose our hearing as we age anyway so it would be extremely convenient to aleady know it.

Most forget that they understand most of the Norwegian and Danish language as well. :)

A basque speaker here. I didn't expect anybody to mention our isolate language in this video. Nice! Swedish people seem to be very open to foreign languages btw

I was in Sweden and I can say that absolute majority speak English - bus drivers, any shop assistant, etc. Including small towns. Only elderly people don't speak English.

I like the sound of Swedish. I'm always happy when I naturally understand it because it's so close to German.

the girl at the end is totally right about sign language,
i can see it being very useful, also outside of the deaf community.

Interesting that almost none of the younger people speak German anymore. However, many of those over 50 still speak German, including in Denmark and the Netherlands. In the past, German books and the German language were also used in science in Sweden.

Really remarkable that two specific languages - Italian and Chinese - are mentioned most among those Swedes want to learn

[MishaElRusito]

I never thought anything about the swedish language but then I got introduced to a rapper Sarettii from Sweden and the language really intrigued me, now I am starting to learn it haha

[SilvyJacky]

Nice video, thank you!😊 I love Sweden. They seem very interested in Italia, my country. It makes me so happy❤😊

@8:22 I am hearing but know Swedish sign language. It's really neat in some situations, like you can talk through a window or when you're in a really noisy place it's so much more convenient to sign! All though sign language is problematic when carrying stuff but wanna talk and a bit tricky to walk and talk at the same time. But I do recommend everyone to try i out, it's an amazing language!

i'm married to a german woman and we have a summer house near Arvika Sweden about half way to the northern areas.
last week we had two friends from netherlands visit us in Germany and we all spoke english . The netherlands folks couldn't speak deutsche or swedish so it was english or nothing .
