Its cos they desperately wish they were English.

Big @#% off to the NHL.

Can't imagine there are too many hockey fans on here but I'm desperately missing it.

Bold Tone

They are hockey fans in Finland

What amazes English people is the the fact almost all Scandinavians we meet seem to be able to speak English rather well. Much better than most West Europeans who are much closer.

The English is basically perfect.

What is more amazing is how Hodgson speaks excellent swedish. Klaus has mentioned it.

It's easy once you have learned one or two.

In saying that, Swedish is one horrible language.

Bold Tone

Klaus is going to come down hard on you for that

Klaus

😆

Yeah, his Swedish is top notch. He's often invited as a football pundit on Swedish television. People still hold him in high esteem because of what he did for Swedish football back in the eighties.

Bold Tone

Do you not have R's in swedish?

Captain

They have three extra letters. Go figure.

Bold Tone

I'm stumped! Was just on the "woy" level so no where to go

That guy has a terrible Stockholm dialect.

😆 English people generally can't pronounce R properly in Swedish. It's sharper and comes from the back of the throat. Most of them sound like Roy does in English when they try.

Bold Tone

German is so much simpler

Klaus

The accusative and dative cases are a handful, though.

Bold Tone

That's too deep for most of us. Just talking about the passable touristy level 1

Timbob

What is it with you lot and discussing languages!!? Lets just hope Burnwinter doesn't see this or he'll chime in with a bloody essay.

Burnwinter

:o You treacherous bastard Tim! I haven't said a thing. I was going to make a joke about 'the oblutive case being a real stinker' ... but let's face it, that joke would've been terrible.
