@@pizzermaster1145 Tack ! Like WHO ? Gamla Stan IS so Famous - that there are No Average Svenska Joe - except working ! This IS The most expensive part of Stockholm - Even Olof Palme used to live there !
Really interesting! Most Swedes are are multilingual, so this is really interesting - comparing with others, if you are from a small language you have to adapt. If you speak Mandarin, Russian, Spanish, English, French, German or Italian - the challenge is soo much lower...
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
Zhe madhim! Was it also easier to learn spanish because you already knew Portugese? I don't know a lot about the differences (and correct me if I'm wrong) but from what I understood, if you can speak portuguese then you can understand spanish speakers.
This is super interesting Nordin! I think Gamla Stan is where you will find many different nationalities so good place to investigate. I noticed lots of Arabic speakers when I was in Mall of Scandinavia, really fascinating! Thanks, great work!!🙏🙏
The arabic speakers are "swedish" 90% or more live in Sweden so that is normal for us, however languages that should be prevelant in Sweden like Latvian, German, Russian, English, Dutch are much rarer.
It is interesting seeing the increase of Spanish being spoken in Sweden where it is mainly being spoken by Latin American tourists or people from Latin America.
I think that because spanish is the second most spoken language in the world just behind chinese mandarin , and is more easier than mandarin ,and also spoken in 22 countries ( including the United States , in wich is the second language)that's why I think is very popular these days.
@@Alaskan-Armadillo Castellano is spoken in Spain, not only in Latin America. Many people in Europe learn Spanish when you take into consideration that by number of native speakers outnumbers the native English speakers. Plus Spain is part of the continent
@@josecarlosbayoncueto4689 Actually, when you account for everyone who speaks a language as a second language, English is by far the most popular with over a billion total speakers.
That was a great idea for a video ☺️ I would have been so proud to have been asked since languages are what I really exceed at 😄 Very proud of my 5,5 languages
its really interesting, because recently i've noticed that there's been an increasing trend in channels doing this "what languages do (nationality/place) speak" video. the first WLDYS street interview videos i watched were by The New Travel channel, but then i started noticing that more and more other channels began catching on to this video topic and posting them. i live in a country with tons of immigrants so i actually plan on starting a street interview channel myself.
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. :)
So interesting, I speak Swedish, Finnish, English and Mäen kieli, they talk in northern part of Sweden. Can talk/ understand some hand signing both Swedish and Finnish, Spanish, Russian, Serbian, turkey and German...
Ikr. Really annoys me. Takes a lot of effort to get to a decent level in one language. To me its just disrespectful to say you speak another language when you don't.
Many swedes understand norweigan if they try, but it depends on the dialect aswell. I can never understand someone from Trondheim for example even if i tried
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.
Interesante video y, no sabía que en esos países, especialmente, del norte de Europa se hablara tanto el idioma castellano. Curioso, por decir lo menos. ¡Saludos, desde Valparaíso, Chile!.
I grew up trilingual - German, Italian, English. At school, French was added. At the moment I am still learning Finnish and Swedish, because I moved to Finland near the Swedish border. Btw;I grew up in Germany.
Cool that you decided to take up learning Finnish. If you live in Finland, the locals will definitely appreciate you speaking the language, tsemppiä opiskeluun :D
Intressant, är din familj från Finland eller? Jag pratar 3 språk flytande , engelska svenska och bangla, sen lär jag mig spanska i skolan och franska hemma
Many people in Central and Northern Europe speak several languages. In my case it's between 5 and 6. Apart from my mother tongue, German, I speak English, French, Spanish, Valencian (a dialect of catalan) and some Dutch. Living abroad - in my case in Spain - helps a lot.
If I said in my case living in Spain has been useful it is very much to work on my Spanish. Apart from that, I wouldn't have learned Valencian. A certain similarity to French helps to keep it up.
Spanish is an attractive and popular language to learn, not only in Europe (very few Americans with no Hispanic roots are bilingual), but surprisingly in South Korea, I've found in internet many Koreans that speak Spanish at different level of fluency (OrlandoFlorida).
This was great Nordin, a very fun idea😃! Thank’s for this one (i was out walking Harry)!🙈! And chatgang, you was fun to (Alex, i agree😂)! TC everyone 👋
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.
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.
@@lucone2937 I have noticed that mostly swedish and russians communicates here in english. Non of business people assumes in Tampere that anyone would speak swedish there. Sometimes i have clients (i drive taxi) that speaks swedish to each other but to me they speak english. Well even that i understand much of swedish and speak little bit, my english is still much better. I never reveal that i understand the most what they are speaking.
@@Westlec you should learn languages too though. I'm American and love learning languages I can speak some Swedish and speak French pretty well and planning on learning Russian eventually as well
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.
8:37 it’s kind of funny with the “i only speak two languages” comment. it very clearly shows the difference in norms between cultures, where two languages is the absolute minimum that everyone is expected to speak fluently
@@CMV314 do you think you would find an American who would say "I only speak two languages", unless they're a linguist or some other context where people would expect them to speak many languages?
@@CMV314 no, of course not, but my point is that it's *a lot* less likely, especially since most of them are already monolingual, so being bilingual is already an exception to the norm. this norm is exactly what I'm referring to
Swedes don't really have a reason to learn any other languages than english and swedes, so this is kinda surprising to see... though most of these are not swedish natives, so i guess that's why. I was thinking about learning arabic. Almost a quarter of the population in sweden speak it at this point, so there are a lot of opportunities to practice, and maybe learn to understand these strange new people a little better.
I definitely don't believe 25% of the Swedish population speak Arabic. I also don't think it's all that surprising that quite a few Swedes are multilingual, since many of us learn a third language in school.
@@LoveLeeMeJenny Its true though around 2,3 million have parents from middle east. I hear arabic on a daily basis, i even learned some words just from hearing it.
So funny to be from Latvia and think what it would be like to be in this video and then suddenly there's a girl who's Latvian/Russian in the video haha, I definitely did not expect that.
I am 30 years old and I am from Ukraine. I know Russian, Czech, Ukrainian, and Polish languages. I also know a bit of the language of dreams because dreams are messages for a person in images
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.
I think everybody in Sweden speaks two languages, Swedish and English. When Swedish people speak English, sound like native English speakers, somebody can explain me why?.

@@CMV314 For me, there is, that's all that counts. And well, I guess Russian speakers can understand Italian without problems. How many languages do you speak?
