Hey - the first weekend in July I am in Helsinki,
due to Tuska putting off I needed to change my program, we have to go for a pint! But not Lapinkulta
Yeah, that's a question I've been asking meself too, maybe Kosmo can answer:
Planning to go to Finland one of those days, I was wondering, do really people speak fluent english there or shall I be completetly lost without speaking finnish?
Through the storms we've wandered
Many mountains we have climbed
But all the bad times are behind
The road is free - I'm coming home
For some reason people here really know english, maybe it's the school system being so good or something.
As for fluent..I wouldn't say fluent, but good enough that you can understand what they are saying. Some people might struggle with pronounciation.
And as mayhem said older people might have a hard time speaking english since it wasn't in the schools yet.
Well our school system is pretty good and we have lots of things in English that are left untranslated like almost all movies and tv-shows. We have just subtitles and I really think it helps when even kids watching childrens programs listen to english.

Someone studying a language only spoken in one tiny country where everyone can speak fine english too (well exept some old people)
